Activation energy: It takes me about 15 minutes to get ready for exercise: I need to close down what I’m doing, change in to exercise clothes, and find a good spot for it.
Inertia: Once I’m jogging, it’s really easy to keep jogging. Especially when jogging is the fastest way to get back home =)
End result: I find it much easier to do a single 30 minute jog, compared to three 10 minute jogs. If there were just activation costs, I’d probably want to do a single 10 minute jog. If there was just inertia, I’d probably want to do three 30 minute jogs.
