Is cramming all your exercise into Saturday and Sunday a complete waste of time, or could the 'weekend warrior' lifestyle be the ultimate health hack for busy people? In this episode, we dive deep into the science behind weekend warrior workouts to uncover the truth. We analyze massive studies on over a million people to see if concentrating your fitness into just two days can truly lower your risk for cardiovascular disease, liver disease (MASLD), and even impact overall mortality. Is daily exercise really superior, or does the weekend warrior workout offer similar, powerful benefits? We'll compare the two exercise patterns, discuss the surprising findings on liver and mental health, and reveal what the science says about hitting that 150-minute weekly activity goal. Stop feeling guilty about your packed schedule and discover if this fitness approach is right for you.
