7 NUMBER OF MINUTES YOU NEED TO WORKOUT TO SEE BENEFITS
When you're just starting to exercise, you don't need to slog through a long session. Just seven minutes can improve your heart and lung health, insulin function, and muscular strength and endurance. Pick 14 bodyweight exercises, some involving resistance (pushups, squats, planks), others involving cardio (jumping jacks, stepups). Do 20 seconds of one, rest for 10 seconds, and move to the next. We're such believers in the seven-minute workout that we created a whole book of them (Men's Health 7-Minute Workouts for Fat Burn). Caveat: "A more seasoned trainee will need a higher threshold to see increases in fitness," says clinical exercise physiologist Dean Somerset, C.E.P., owner of Somerset Fitness in Edmonton.
1 NUMBER OF DOCTOR'S VISITS YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON EACH YEAR
►Your annual physical needs to be, well, annual. "Most people only go to the doctor when there's an ache in their knee or a cough that won't quit, but preventive medicine is key," says Raj Dasgupta, M.D., at the University of Southern California. "You'll stay on top of your appropriate screenings so you can be ahead of the game." You have to know how your heart, colon, and everything else is doing to take care of yourself right.

Can Marvel Regain its Superpowers? - Critical savaging. Box-office meh-ness. Cultural irrelevance. How did the MCU lose its dominance over all screens, and what will it take to restore it?
For the next 11 years and 20-plus films, Marvel Studios sat atop Odin's High Seat.Its movies grossed billions upon billions of dollars, their casts were stacked with Hollywood legends, and people like me (and probably you, too) were invested. When Spider-Man: Far from Home concluded what Marvel Studios called The Infinity Saga-the overarching story of its first 23 movies-it did so with the promise that there was so much more to come.Then an evil worse than Thanos himself besieged the planet: Covid-19 blacked out theaters and blocked MCU releases for all of 2020. When Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings emerged to lead the Phase Four charge in 2021, things were, somehow, off. The epicness of it all was... missing. In what was supposed to be a pause before the next classic blockbuster marathon, Marvel seemed winded instead.
Tren Nation - How an obscure bovine steroid became gym Gen Z's favorite social-media muscle flex.
Not anabolic steroids. Not testosterone. Not creatine or multivitamins or a high-protein diet. No, Frank and Jesse (who both spoke on condition of anonymity because trenbolone is deemed illegal) immediately jump to trenbolone, which has quickly developed a rep for increasing muscularity and decreasing body fat all at once. Among bodybuilders it's known as the god of all steroids for its potency. To teens and young men, it's simply tren, a ticket to the prototypical social-media-friendly physique. Why? Frank, who's now 18, explains tren's growing popularity with all the confidence and expertise of someone who Googled tren once (mostly to see how jacked it made cows), watched hundreds of hours of tren content on Tik Tok, and made a ton of tren jokes. If the only thing you care about is putting on muscle, he says, it really does seem like tren is the thing to take.
Say What? - Hearing loss isn't just a thing that happens to your parents. Nearly one in five people in their 20s show signs of it already. And it puts your brain and well-being in danger, too. Luckily, new tech can help. Listen up.
Hearing loss isn't just a thing that happens to your parents. Nearly one in five people in their 20s show signs of it already. And it puts your brain and well-being in danger, too. Luckily, new tech can help. Listen up. An estimated 15 percent of American adults-that's about 38 million peoplehave some level of hearing loss, according to the CDC. Research increasingly suggests that untreated hearing loss can lead to other significant health issues, including depression and Alzheimer's disease.
