In this Viewpoint, we celebrate sport, exercise, and the weekend warrior, the individual who performs the recommended amount of aerobic activity using 1 or 2 sessions per week. We show that the weekend warrior is thriving in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Latin America. We argue that vigorous activity and the pursuit of cardiorespiratory fitness are important to the health of the weekend warrior. Finally, we suggest that the weekend warrior physical activity pattern should be accommodated in future physical activity guidelines and interventions.
