Known as the "weekend warrior" workout, this approach significantly lowers the risk of over 200 diseases, including hypertension and diabetes. Join us as we explore how total physical activity, rather than frequency, plays a key role in maintaining your health.🌐 Sources- [fortune.com - Working out just 1 or 2 days each week may lower your risk of over 200 diseases, new study finds](https://fortune.com/well/article/working-out-1-2-days-each-week-lower-disease-risk/#:~:text=And%20there's%20good%20news%20for,those%20overall%20physical%20activity%20guidelines.)- [theguardian.com - 'Weekend warrior' workouts may be as effective as daily ...](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/sep/26/weekend-warrior-workouts-daily-exercise)- [ahajournals.org - Associations of “Weekend Warrior” Physical Activity With ...](https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.124.068669)- [heart.org - 'Weekend warriors' may gain same health benefits as ...](https://www.heart.org/en/news/2024/09/26/weekend-warriors-may-gain-same-health-benefits-as-people-who-spread-out-exercise)- [sciencedaily.com - 'Weekend warrior' physical activity may help protect against ...](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/09/240926132037.htm) Get full access to Science Exposed at www.drcameronjones.ai/subscribe
