Can working out twice a week bring you as many benefits as exercising every day? The answer could be yes to a large extent, if you are fulfilling the World Health Organization's recommendation of getting at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week. Exercising daily can keep your physical and mental health in perfect shape, but when it comes to weight loss or preventing the risk of brain disorders like dementia and Alzheimer's disease, being a weekend warrior could offer you similar benefits.
A study published in the journal Obesity says that people can still lose weight while exercising only once or twice a week. A recent study published in Nature Ageing confirms weekend warriors have reduced risk of dementia, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, anxiety, and depression, which can be compared to a more traditional workout.
