A new study found that individuals who only exercise on weekends, termed "weekend warriors," have a 35% lower risk of anxiety compared to those who are inactive. This study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and revealed that total weekly physical activity volume outweighs workout frequency for mental health benefits. Even minimal exercise, such as participating in physical activity once or twice a week, can lead to substantial improvements in mental well-being, ensuring that busy schedules do not hinder anxiety reduction.
Weekend warriors had a 35 percent lower risk of anxiety than inactive people.
Even one to two days of exercise per week can have mental health benefits.
