It is a low-intensity, steady-state workout that allows you to sustain effort for an extended period while primarily using fat as fuel, says Gene Schafer, a NATABOC-certified athletic trainer and NSCA-certified strength and conditioning specialist.

Dominique Thorne Breaks Down That Shocking ‘Ironheart’ Cliffhanger

Heroes don’t usually do what Riri Williams does at the end of Ironheart. In fact, most superhero stories would have the main character doing the exact opposite of what Riri does in the closing moments of Disney+’s latest Marvel show. And yet, it was specifically that decision and the thought behind it that got star Dominique Thorne most excited. At the end of Ironheart, Riri (Thorne) makes a literal deal with the devil, agreeing to partner with the evil Mephisto (Sacha Baron Cohen) in exchange

'Ironheart': When to Watch the Final 3 Episodes of the Marvel Series

Ironheart, the newest Marvel TV series following Riri Williams after Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is set to wrap up tonight. Dominique Thorne was initially introduced as the character in the Ryan Coogler-directed blockbuster. Riri is a brilliant teenage MIT student who created a vibranium detector that caught the attention of the CIA, Wakandans, and, um, a water-dwelling god. Ironheart's first three episodes are now streaming on Disney Plus. Pulled from the pages of Marvel's comic books, the

Genetic code enables zebrafish to mend damaged organs

Zebrafish have the remarkable and rare ability to regrow and repair their hearts after damage. New research from Caltech and UC Berkeley has identified the circuit of genes controlling this ability and offers clues about how a human heart might someday be repaired after damage, such as a heart attack or in cases of congenital heart defects. The research was a collaboration between the laboratories of Marianne Bronner, Caltech's Edward B. Lewis Professor of Biology and director of the Beckman In

US surgeons complete first-ever heart transplant using robotics

What just happened? Surgeons at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center in Houston have performed the nation's first fully robotic heart transplant, a milestone in American medicine. Completed in March, the procedure marks a significant leap in robotic cardiac surgery and offers new hope for patients with advanced heart failure. The patient, a 45-year-old man hospitalized for months with severe heart failure, became the first in the United States to receive a heart transplant using a minimally invasiv

RFK Jr. Announces All Americans Need Health Tracking Devices: Here Are the Pros and Cons

Many Americans already track health statistics like heart rate and sleep cycles on app-connected accessories. Now the federal government wants to jump in. On June 24, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced "one of the largest HHS campaigns in history" to encourage the use of wearables to track health conditions, a trend CNET has recently covered. Kennedy is referring to the many different bands, watches and even clothes that use technology to track human vital signs. CNET's reviewers

'Ironheart' Release Schedule: When to Watch Episodes 4, 5 and 6 on Disney Plus

Following her debut in Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Riri Williams has her own streaming TV show: Ironheart. Dominique Thorne was initially introduced as the character in the Ryan Coogler-directed blockbuster film as a brilliant teenage MIT student who created a vibranium detector that caught the attention of the CIA, Wakandans and, um, a water-dwelling god. Ironheart's first three episodes are now streaming on Disney Plus. Pulled from the pages of Marvel's comic books, the young inv

RFK Jr. Wants All Americans to Use Wearables to Track Their Health: What That Means

Many Americans already track health statistics like heart rate and breathing patterns on tech-savvy accessories. But now, the federal government is getting involved. On June 24, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced "one of the largest HHS campaigns in history" to encourage the use of wearables to track health conditions, a trend CNET has recently covered. Kennedy is referring to the many different bands, watches, rings and even clothes that use technology to track human vital signs.

‘Ironheart’ Has a Phase One MCU Link We Didn’t See Coming

If we said Ironheart, the new Marvel Studios show about a genius who builds a special suit allowing her to fly around, linked to the original 2008 film Iron Man, you’d say “No duh.” The entire idea and premise of the show are intrinsically linked to that character and film. But if we told you the connection went beyond that, and linked to a supporting character in that film played by an Oscar winner, you’d probably be like “Tell me more.” So we will. Ironheart debuted its first three episodes o

‘Ironheart’ Has Kinks to Work Out, But Flies High Enough

Since Avengers: Endgame, the MCU has examined which heroes will step up now that most of the original characters have bowed out. In the case of Iron Man, this question has mostly been answered in Spider-Man, but fans of the armored Avenger’s comics know his actual successor comes in Riri “Ironheart” Williams, introduced in 2016 by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato, Jr. Marvel brought Riri into the cinematic fold with 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, with the promise of her eventually

'Ironheart' Review: Marvel Series Is Not Too Heavy, but It's Not Too Light, Either

The first time Riri Williams' solo TV show was mentioned was in 2020 when Kevin Feige announced Ironheart and Secret Invasion along with a few other Marvel Phase 5 releases. He said both series would tie in with Marvel's feature films. It's true: Ironheart is connected to the larger MCU -- aside from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever -- and for that reason alone, you should watch all six episodes of the series to the end. All the way to the very end. Ironheart is streaming its first three episodes

Ironheart believes the children are the future

Before the multiverse, magic, or any of Marvel’s streaming series were important parts of the studio’s cinematic universe, there was Iron Man. After years of so-so movies, Iron Man reminded everyone that Marvel’s big-screen adaptations could be amazing with the right creative teams and stars attached. Robert Downey Jr.‘s Tony Stark was the MCU’s centerpiece and a prime example of how the House of Ideas could make box office record-breaking icons out of its lower-profile characters. A couple of t

Marvel's 'Ironheart' Debuts Today. Here's How to Watch

It's been almost three years since the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel's Ryan Coogler-directed film that introduced Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams. The brilliant teenage MIT student created a vibranium detector that caught the attention of the CIA, Wakandans and, um, a water-dwelling god. Now, the character has her own streaming TV show: Ironheart. Pulled from the pages of Marvel's comic books, the young inventor possesses genius-level intelligence and found Tony Stark an i

The First Reactions to ‘Ironheart’ Are All Over the Place

We’re on the eve of a new Marvel show, and the House of Mouse has started allowing press who’ve seen all six episodes of Ironheart to share how they think. While the early verdicts swing pretty wildly between positive and mild shrugs at best, there’s also a lot of hints that the series’ back half includes a pretty wild climax. While there does seem to be a wide range of opinions, it seems like most of whether or not Ironheart lands with people clicks with its flow, with many critics pointing to

‘Ironheart’ Will Continue Tony Stark’s Legacy, and Robert Downey Jr. Approves

“I want to continue Stark’s legacy,” says Riri Williams, the main character in the upcoming Marvel Studios show Ironheart. Played by Dominique Thorne, Riri is a genius inventor, just like the late, great Iron Man, but without his billionaire resources. That conflict will be at the heart of the new show, which debuts on Disney+ June 24, and Tony Stark himself just endorsed it. Two fantastic Ironheart videos just came online, one of which focuses on the practical suits built for the production. E

A cryptocurrency scam that turned a small town against itself

Online scams are as old as the internet, but the rise of crypto has given con artists a valuable new tool — digital coins that can be transferred instantly, without oversight from banks legally obligated to monitor transactions for malfeasance. In 2023, crypto fraud cost American investors an estimated $4.8 billion, according to the F.B.I. The scams are so common that law-enforcement authorities have taken to calling them by a pithy name: Pig butchering, a rough translation of an expression wide

The Oura Ring 4 is a competitive sleep tracker, with insights into sleep efficiency, restfulness, readiness, latency, and more.
