It reduces the risks of dying from all causes, including cancer and heart disease，according to the World Health Organization. But many people who work all week have little time for exercise. So, they might try to do something to increase their heart rates over the weekend - go for a long run, take a bike ride, hike in the mountains or do a chore around the house, such as gathering leaves, shoveling snow or digging a garden. We sometimes call people who exercise only on Saturdays and Sundays“weekend warriors.” But is it healthy to avoid exercise during the work-week and then try to fit it all in during the weekend? A new study suggests that, yes, it is healthy: Even weekend warriors may reduce their risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Australian researchers at the University of Sydney conducted the study. It took place over a nine-year period. During that time, the researchers looked at the self-reported exercise habits and health examinations of more than 63,000 adults in England and Scotland. Then they connected that information to mortality - or, death - records. The researchers found that people who exercised only one or two days a week improved their chances of living longer than people who did not exercise at all. Even those who are very overweight could extend their lives by exercising a couple of days per week. When pared to those who did not exercise at all, weekend warriors had an 18 percent lower risk of dying from cancer. As for cardiovascular disease, weekend warriors had a 40 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease than inactive people, or so-called couch potatoes. Couch potatoes are people who dont exercise. The WHO suggests that the average adult get at least 150 minutes of exercise per week. However, if you are busy with work and family duties, exercise as much as you can. Research seems to show that even about “weekend warriors”?18. What do we know about “weekend warriors”? A. They are very lazy in work while hardworking at home.B.
