Is 3 x 20 min as effective?

[amyindallas]

My goal is to ride my exercise bike 1 hour per day for weight loss. However, I am out of shape and the seat is not the most comfortable. My question: is doing 3 x 20 minute sessions as effective as a 1 hour session? Thanks in advance!

Resting is also important. I think a 40 minutes exercise, 3 times a week is better.
