 Few concepts capture the American man's imagination as much as the weekend warrior: Freed from the shackles of workaday life, he uses Saturday and Sunday to catch up with family, soothe the soul, and cram a week's worth of missed exercise into just two days.
In reality, however, less than three percent of us live up to this ideal, according to researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's unfortunate, especially since less than 50 percent of us get the government's recommended dose of 90 minutes of exercise per week because we're "too busy."
"If you can set aside 20 minutes on Saturday, and 20 minutes on Sunday, you can still build muscle and lose weight," says trainer Mike Boyle, owner of Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning, in Winchester, Massachusetts. That's good news, and if you follow our advice, you can do it without ever setting foot in a gym. Click here for the 40 best places to work out in America.
