  AUSTIN - (KXAN) - A new study offers good news for busy adults struggling to squeeze exercise into their weekly routine.

The article from Yahoo Lifestyle discusses a study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, which found that "weekend warriors" — individuals who concentrate their physical activity into one or two days a week — can achieve health benefits similar to those who exercise more regularly throughout the week. The research, which analyzed data from over 63,000 adults in the U.S., showed that both weekend warriors and regularly active individuals had a reduced risk of heart attack, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke compared to inactive people. Specifically, weekend warriors had a 27% lower risk of heart attack, 38% lower risk of heart failure, 22% lower risk of atrial fibrillation, and 21% lower risk of stroke. The findings suggest that the total amount of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week is more important than how it is distributed throughout the week, encouraging those with busy schedules to still prioritize exercise on weekends.
