  • New research shows that "weekend warriors" who exercise just one or two days per week have a lower risk of death than regular exercisers. Experts agree that when you exercise each week matters less than making sure you get enough.

The article from Healthline discusses a study published in the journal Obesity that found "weekend warrior" exercisers, who concentrate their physical activity into one or two days a week, can achieve similar health benefits to those who exercise more regularly throughout the week. The study, which analyzed data from over 90,000 participants, showed that both groups experienced reduced risks of obesity, heart disease, and other health issues.

This finding suggests flexibility in how people can structure their exercise routines to fit their lifestyles while still reaping significant health benefits.
