Is it as effective to do my cardio workouts in two long sessions (like 60 minutes+) as it is to do them broken into shorter ones? It's so much easier for me to go to the gym for a few big sessions than several small ones...

Ah, but if you do the shorter workouts on successive days, you are doing yourself more good in the long run. This is because you will have been doing the cardio exercise more times during the week, even if it adds up to the same amount of time overall.

You should do them in little sessions. After 12 mintues of cardio your body sends out a hormone that helps you lose weight. If you do this several times a week, then you will be burning more fat then you would if you did a long workout. If your goal is to build endurance, then you should stick with the longer one. Hope this helps =)
