One of the reasons to do a high-intensity work-out if you're looking to burn calories is that you continue to burn calories after you've actually finished exercising. But, beyond a study or two establishing that this is actually the case, I can't find a great deal more information about this and how it works exactly.
What I'm wondering about it is what determines how many calories are burnt. Obviously, the higher intensity the work out, the more calories you will burn afterwards. However, what role does how long you work out for play? How do other factors affect it?
To boil it down to the basics - if your aim in exercising is to burn calories, would you be better off running 1 mile twice a day, or running 2 miles once a day? And, as a slight variation on the same question, would you be better off running 2 miles twice a day, or running 4 miles once a day?
