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.

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.
