DIABETICS BOOST HEALTH WITH BIWEEKLY WORKOUTS





Living with diabetes doesn’t mean you need to spend hours every day at the gym to help your heart. New research looking at more than 50,000 adults with diabetes shows that even getting active just a couple of times a week can make a real difference. Whether you’re a “weekend warrior” cramming all your exercise into one or two days, or you prefer spreading your workouts throughout the week, the benefits are similar—as long as you reach the recommended 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity per week.

This study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, analyzed over 20 years of data from the National Health Interview Survey. Participants fell into four groups: inactive, insufficiently active, weekend warriors, and regularly active. The results were impressive: people who exercised—no matter if it was all at once or spread out—lowered their risk of dying from heart disease by 33%, and from any cause by 21%, compared to those who didn’t exercise at all.

The takeaway? If fitting in daily workouts feels impossible, don’t stress. Focusing on getting your 150 minutes in—whether during the week or on weekends—can give your heart absolute protection.
