If you're like the 80% of Americans that do not get the recommended amount of daily exercise, you can probably vouch for the idiom that there really just isn't  enough time in the day. For most all consumers, our everyday errands and commitments are so non-stop that it would seem impossible to get all the way to the gym, workout for an hour, and carry on. A new study finds, however, that those who take only a few hours every week – even just on the weekends – can enjoy massive health benefits they wouldn't otherwise be getting. Researchers from the University of Sydney analyzed survey data for over 63,000 people and found that all-cause mortality was 30% lower for active adults when compared to inactive adults. Further, they say that consumers who only take time on the weekend to exercise, dubbed “weekend warriors,” had an equivalent reduction in risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. "It is very encouraging news that being physically active on just one or two occasions per week is associated with a lower risk of death, even among people who do some activity but don't quite meet recommended exercise levels," said senior author Emmanuel Stamatakis. The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines suggest that adults participate in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise every week; however, the researchers found that participants didn’t always have to reach those goals in order to reduce health risks. While the results are good news for infrequent exercisers or gym members who can only go on the weekends, Stamatakis and his colleagues say more research will need to be done in order to “determine how frequency, intensity, and duration of activity might best be combined to achieve health benefits.” However, the researchers do say that consumers should always exceed physical activity recommendations if they can. They continue by explaining that doing so is the best way to protect ourselves from a multitude of diseases and health conditions.
