Weekend warrior? You’ll still benefit by fitting a week’s worth of exercise into a day or two, research suggests

If you can’t exercise regularly (3 to 5 days a week), you can still get those health benefits from fitting 75 to 150 minutes of exercise activity into one or two days, such as on a weekend. (stock.adobe.com)

Just because you don’t exercise regularly during the week doesn’t mean you can’t make it up on the weekend. 

The World Health Organization’s guidelines for physical activity recommends that adults get at least 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity or 150 minutes of moderate activity a week. While experts have suggested people spread regular exercise throughout the week, that’ doesn’t always work for some people.
