There wasn't much difference in all-cause or cause-specific mortality between those who exercised regularly and the weekend warriors if they had the same amount of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week, said study author Leandro Rezende. Associate Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Federal University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"This is good news considering that the warrior's weekend model of physical activity may be a more convenient option for many people to reach recommended levels of physical activity," Rezende said in an email.
According to a study, getting the 150 minutes of exercise adults need each week — or more — whenever you can, could help lower your mortality rate.
The results could help public health officials encourage physical activity even among busy people and support the idea that "every minute of physical activity counts," said Eric Shiroma, a research scientist at the National Institute on Aging.
CNN fitness contributor Dana Santas often hears clients talk about their crazy workday schedules as a reason not to exercise.
"It's understandable that they don't want to sacrifice much-needed sleep by getting up early or lose precious family dinner time by going to the gym right after work," said Santas, a certified strength and conditioning specialist and mind-body coach in professional sports. “These are legitimate concerns because we all need sleep to function.
"And family dinners not only represent quality time, but also increase the chances of a healthy diet, as opposed to fast food."
