Would I get the same benefits from breaking up my cardio into shorter intervals on the treadmill?

Not really and here's why: The longer the cardio session, the better the afterburn.

"Afterburn" is technically known as post-exercise oxygen consumption, and what that saucy term refers to is your elevated metabolism after a workout. Afterburn can last anywhere from 15 minutes to 48 hours, depending on the intensity and duration of your workout.

So, if you break up your cardio, you'll burn the same number of calories during training, but you'll minimize the number of calories lost because of afterburn.

If you really have to break up your cardio, it’s better than not doing it! But the truth is, you'd be better off finding a block of time to get your cardio on!

You can ALWAYS find time. It’s just about MAKING time.
