Mayo Clinic Minute: Stacking your exercise over the weekend

Exercise is key to a healthy lifestyle. For those on a time crunch, stacking weekly exercise into a couple of days comes with the title “weekend warrior.”

At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous activity is recommended for adults each week.

Repeating the same motions or ramping up too quickly could lead to overuse injuries, inflammation and pain.
