1 workout a day vs several a day benefits

@fitnessask- Good morning. If you only do push-ups then only the body parts that are involved will be worked. I'm a bit confused- Are you talking about doing one exercise on one day or spreading that same exercise throughout the week.? I think that this also depends on your goals. What do you want to get out of your workouts?

Hi Merry. Thanks for the reply.
Strength training involve doing different exercises for different muscle groups. To clarify a bit, i want to know if doing one exercise a day has the same benefits as doing all the exercises in 1 setting. Like would doing pushup today, lungs tomorrow etc is as good as doing them the same day?
I take from your response that it does?
Thanks!

@fitnessask- No, I'm not saying that it's the same. I doubt that one exercise has the same benefits as a full workout.

Hi merry thanks for the reply again! I agree but that is not what i am asking sort of.
Let me clarify a bit. Would doing pushups by itself for example be as beneficial as doing pushups along with other exercises?
Thanks

No, I don't think so because you are only doing one exercise, training only one group of muscles. What are your plans with this?

Hi thanks again merry.
I will do some exercises along with the pushups perhaps.
Appreciated your inputs!.

@fitnessask- What is your goal? Strength, tone, aerobic?

Hi @fitnessask, I'd like to also welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see you are looking to weigh the pros and cons of a full body workout versus a split routine workout, where you focus on one muscle group at a time... like Leg Day!

I would like to invite @contentandwell @ske22 @pfbacon @georger @goldenrascal @ayeshasharma and @aliali to this conversation. Between them they have a variety of fitness levels and experiences and may have some tips to offer.

I also found a blog and a website that does a nice job comparing the two types of routines.

Are you currently working out? If so, what is your current routine? If not, what is your motivation to start working out? I always love to hear what inspires people to stay fit.

Hi Merry sorry for late reply. Just in general

Hi Amanda. Thank you and thanks for the reply. No ma'am not quite. I am talking about doing just one exercise (lungs for example) not bunch of exercises for 1 muscle group. I read that 1 set of 12-15 reps that tire you is as good as 2-3 sets. Fine. Say i did only dumbell curls 12-15 reps once every week. will that enhance my biceps strength as much as doing it but with other workouts(either for same muscle or different one)?.
Thanks

Actually once a day not once a week. I wanted to know if at any given time in a day if its beneficial to do an exercise or two like pushups or some weight lifting. I hope im not making this more confusing
Thanks
