Weekend Warriors Rejoice: Your Workout Works

Study shows that vigorous exercise on the weekends can lengthen your life

Don’t worry about it too much if you only have time to work out on the weekends. A new study shows that how you space out your exercise routines may not matter that much.

A team of researchers at Loughborough University in England looked at how so-called "weekend warriors" fared compared to people who had regular exercise plans spaced throughout the week. Turns out, it didn’t matter too much. Both had about a 30-35 percent lower risk of dying young compared to people who weren’t active.

Either way, it’s better to find some time to work out than no time at all.
