As long as you get 150 minutes of intense exercise a week, scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital say the health benefits will be the same no matter how it gets done.

released Tuesday studied 89,500 people with a mean age of 62 in three groups—active weekend warrior, active regular and inactive—and found that more than half of people are classified as so-called weekend warriors, or those who get the recommended 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity over just a day or two per week.

Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital found that those people had the same lowered risk of incident atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke compared with more evenly distributed physical activity, or those who spread the same amount of exercise evenly over four to seven days per week.
