He’s not under arrest — but he sure could use a rest. In September, 49-year-old New Yorker Michael Moreau jumped off the southern tip of Manhattan — and didn’t emerge until he’d swum up the East River, through the Harlem and down the Hudson to complete the famed and formidable 28.5-mile loop.  The (flutter) kicker: He did it all in handcuffs, and in well under 10 hours.  Moreau’s felony-flavored feat earned him two Guinness World Records — one for completing the longest open-water swim in handcuffs, and one for becoming the first (and fastest) swimmer to circumnavigate the city’s waterways…

Many celebrities are known for their fit physiques, and while some love a brisk jog or a hot yoga class, others have more unusual ways of making sure they can slip into their skinny jeans. Here are some of the different ways stars stay in shape. Valerie Bertinelli “One Day at a Time” alum Valerie Bertinelli jump-starts her morning with a coffee and some hopping. Late last month, the 63-year-old shared her new routine on Instagram, saying she jumps up and down 50 times each morning. “The Google says when you jump 50x or for one minute in the morning,…

Step aside, “fart walks.” While breaking wind on a stroll has gained a following for its health perks, you might want to consider adding another element to your walking regimen. Or, rather, taking one away: your phone.  Ditching your phone while taking a walk may help you get even more out of the popular exericse. Microgen – stock.adobe.com Reporter Serene Madani recently embarked on a mission to walk for an hour each morning without checking her phone until afterward. Within a week, she discovered four major benefits — and now plans to make “phone-sober walks” a regular part of her…

For Jay Sawhney, a dedicated racquet sport player living on New York’s Upper West Side, the love of the game is what initially got him to New Jersey. “Although I live in the city, Cresskill is an easy drive,” Sawhney told The Post. “Even with a bit of traffic, the experience is more than worth the trip.” The experience he’s referring to is padel, an increasingly popular fast-paced racquet sport that combines moves from tennis and squash. And despite a long history of New Yorkers pooh-poohing anything and everything on the other side of the Hudson River, he’s not the…

This biohacking center is taking “work smarter, not harder” to a whole new level. At Upgrade Labs, members trade dumbbells for data, using cutting-edge technology and AI to tailor every rep, sprint and recovery period to their unique biology — delivering huge gains with half the grind. “Our goal is to have people come in for a half hour, 40 minutes, and get 10 times the results that they would from going to the gym in the same amount of time,” Dave Asprey, the man widely credited with launching the biohacking movement, told The Post.  Upgrade Labs has eight locations…

Con l’avanzamento ufficiale della versione Bitcoin Core v30, le modifiche alla strategia di inoltro di OP_RETURN stanno diventando un tema centrale tra la comunità Bitcoin e l’ambiente dei miner. Secondo la documentazione tecnica pubblica, l’aggiornamento rimuove il limite di inoltro di 80 byte per OP_RETURN, in vigore da oltre dieci anni; con la configurazione predefinita, i nodi permetteranno a una singola output di trasportare quasi 4MB di dati. Gli sviluppatori sottolineano che si tratta di un cambiamento a livello di relay policy, senza modificare le regole di consenso come la dimensione del blocco; tuttavia, l’impatto reale sulla struttura del mempool…

Tras la activación de Bitcoin Core v30, el cambio más llamativo fue la eliminación del límite de 80 bytes en OP_RETURN, ampliándolo hasta niveles cercanos al tamaño máximo del bloque — la cantidad de datos basura que puede introducirse en una sola transacción aumentó instantáneamente unas 50.000 veces respecto al pasado. La carga de datos en la red ha aumentado aproximadamente 50.000 veces frente a niveles anteriores. Según los desarrolladores, esto representa un 「Bitcoin más abierto」, pero para los mineros significa: los bloques se convierten en discos de almacenamiento, la mempool se llena más rápido y tú eres quien paga,…

Beating yourself up for sitting out Sunday’s TCS New York City Marathon? Don’t — your body might actually thank you. From blistered feet and aching joints to a churning stomach and battered muscles, the iconic 26.2-mile race can wreck far more than just your ego. “Running a marathon is an incredible physical and mental achievement, but it’s also a demanding event that places unique stresses on the body,” Dr. Mariam Zakhary, director of running medicine for Mount Sinai’s Department of Rehabilitation and Human Performance, told The Post. More than 50,000 runners are expected to run the NYC Marathon on Sunday,…

A jarring collision with a rude skier changed the course of Liz Healy’s life in unimaginable ways. That fateful trip to Vermont in 2022 left Healy in excruciating pain. The MRI results were shocking — she had a fractured sacrum and a kidney tumor. She was diagnosed with Stage 2 kidney cancer. Further testing revealed the incomprehensible — she also had Stage 4 colon cancer that had spread to her liver and lymph nodes. Liz Healy, 49, was diagnosed with Stage 2 kidney cancer and Stage 4 colon cancer in 2022. She’s set to take on Sunday’s TCS New York City…

Step aside, outdated exercise goals.  For years, 10,000 steps has been promoted by fitness trackers, health apps and medical professionals as the gold standard for daily physical activity. But if that so-called magic number feels more intimidating than inspiring, rest assured: It’s a product of marketing, not science, and there are key benefits you get from a lot of lower step counts, too. The 10,000-step rule isn’t as golden as it seems. Evgeniya Primavera – stock.adobe.com The lofty target’s origins can be traced to a 1960s advertising campaign for a Japanese pedometer called the manpo-kei, which translates to “10,000 steps…
