Weekend Warrior Workouts: How Short, Intense Exercises Can Boost Your Health

The Active Health Clinic was recently featured in an article by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) about the class and how you can be just as effective as a “Weekend Warrior” compared to exercising every day.

According to new research from Massachusetts General Hospital, doing intense workouts 2 or 3 times a week can provide the same health benefits as spreading out shorter sessions throughout the week. It may be the total volume of activity, rather than the pattern, that matters most. This means that if your schedule is packed, you can still enjoy lower risks of diseases such as heart problems, mental health issues, and even neurological conditions by making the most of your weekend workouts.

So, whether you’re a busy parent, a working professional, or simply someone looking to make the most of limited workout time, remember that quality and consistency matter more than how often you hit the gym.
