I ran a half marathon with AI to test the future of trainers

AI assistants aren't quite ready for our high-level workouts.Image: Christopher Mineses/mashable I did something very dumb last weekend: I decided to challenge the limits of artificial intelligence and my own body on a 13.1-mile course to glory. My body held up fine but the AI couldn’t quite keep the pace, serving as yet another reminder that current AI tech still hasn’t caught up to the hype. I had been testing out Vi, a set of $249 Bluetooth running headphones with its own built-in AI assistant and biometric tracking features. The headphones are comfortable on long runs with a neck harness

Kick Your Ribs Up a Notch With This Spicy Dry Rub

Christy Brissette, 80 Twenty Nutrition Related to dill and cumin, the spice caraway can help improve digestion and help relieve heartburn, gas, and bloating. This makes it an ideal addition to your rub for any higher-fat meats you’re planning to grill. A Hungarian specialty, paprika is made of ground-up peppers, and can range from mild to spicy. It gets its rusty red color from carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect your eyesight. Just a tablespoon of paprika provides all the vitamin A you need in a day.

Strengthen Your Immune System With a Summer Ready Lemon Dijon Marinade

Christy Brissette, 80 Twenty Nutrition Mustard is more than just an optional hot dog addition. The mustard plant is a cousin to broccoli and kale, and contains some of the same compounds that may help prevent cancer. Parsley isn’t just plate filler, either. It’s an excellent source of antioxidants like vitamins A and C, as well as flavonoids, which help strengthen your immune system. Parsley can also help promote better digestion to help you get the most out of all the food you’re putting back. Try it on chicken breasts, white fish or pork tenderloin. Directions: Mix the ingredients in a small bowl.

It’s hard to pinpoint the moment Kevin Hart became a star. Suddenly he was just there, with the baptismal comedy special, prowling the stage, a compact, 5’4″ ball of hysterically funny energy, spinning his crowd like cotton candy. We blink—if we even did— and now he’s an A-list movie star, the marquee name on the blockbuster Ride Along movies with Ice Cube, Get Hard with Will Ferrell, and Central Intelligence with Dwayne Johnson, all ridiculous plots and side-crampingly hilarious movies. And he has released three movies of his standup shows. And he plays NFL stadiums. Bruce Springsteen plays stadiums. Comedians,

Marc Royce

Marc Royce Are there ways to train traps other than shrugs? —KYLE W., SANTA FE, NM A great way to train the traps is with Olympic lifts, like snatches and clean and jerks. They’re the most explosive versions of shrugs that you can possibly do, and chances are you’ll probably be using more weight to do them. They also recruit more fast-twitch muscle fibers, which contribute more to the growth of your muscle. How to perform the dumbbell snatch: Place a dumbbell between your legs. Squat down and firmly grip the weight. Keep your back straight and pull the weight

Where the Apple Watch fails

Image: Vicky Leta/Mashable I recently began wearing an Apple Watch regularly. Generally I’m not a watch guy haven’t been since I gave up my calculator watch in the late ’80s but in recent years I’ve learned to appreciate some of the utility features of smartwatches. I especially like the notifications, which necessitate only a glance at the wrist instead of the heavier lift literally and figuratively of digging my iPhone out of my pocket. First world problems, sure, but those are really what the Apple Watch (and, arguably, all consumer tech) was designed to address. SEE ALSO: The Apple Watch

The Spicy Jerk Marinade Perfect for Low Carb Grilling

Christy Brissette, 80 Twenty Nutrition Like many hot peppers, Scotch bonnet peppers get their kick from capsaicin, an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. Capsaicin seems to be especially helpful for joint pain, making it a great component of an active lifestyle. Eating hot peppers also releases endorphins, helping you feel a rush (hopefully without the flush). This recipe also packs Jamaican allspice, which has potential to lower blood pressure and help kill muscle and joint pain. Two compounds in allspice, eugenol and gallic acid, have shown cancer-fighting properties in cell and animal studies. Try this recipe on chicken, shrimp, or veggies

For 12 weeks, subjects consumed modest amounts of protein throughout the day (hence, “protein-pacing”), and performed a diverse workout routine consisting of weight training, interval sprints, and yoga four days per week.
