The Dahon Mu Uno is the stylish big brother to the cheaper Speed Uno, one of the best folding bikes there is, is the Mu Uno worth the extra money? Well for starters its over 2lb lighter than its stable mate. It also features the beautiful eye catching curve design frame.
Lets look at the bike in more detail:
Who is the Dahon Mu Uno Folding Bike for?
This compact folding bike is ideal for frequent commuters looking for a bike that can be ridden in all weathers, and is light enough that it can be carried easily on public transport.
The Dahon Mu Uno was inspired by the bikes of Norway, they are simple elegant machines, with no gears or brakes just a simple back pedal to stop the bike.
This sophisticated and well designed bike is great for commuters, light enough to be used daily yet strong enough to last for years of reliable service. You can find it on Amazon for a great price! If you do buy from Amazon you will still benefit from the great service and receive the warranty options.
Fittings and Equipment, what does it mean to me?
Dahon have developed this bike to be as simple as possible. They have paired away the gears, this is a single speed, and the brake cables. To stop the bike you simply back pedal (to comply with safety legislation there is also a traditional front brake that can be attached). Other features of the bike have been designed with weight saving in mind.
The Dahon Mu Uno weighs in at under 10Kg (22lb) making this extremely light and portable. With most folding bikes weighing in around 25-30lb this is an impressive weight advantage.
The bike is “one size fits all’ with a fully adjustable handlebar and seat riders of all sizes from 4’8” – 6’4 are accommodated (weighing up to 230lb).
Warranty, All Dahon bikes are furnished with a 2 year warranty covering frame, forks, and all orignal parts.
The bike is great for commuting, ie train journeys with a short ride at the end to reach the destination. The frame folds down in a few seconds into a convenient sized package: 24″x 34″x32″ weighing just 35lb.
Getting to the Top:
The Mu Uno is a single gear bike, they have selected a good ratio that will give adequate power for moving along, while leaving enough in reserve for hills!
Pros and Cons:
The bike is a very well made, light and strong machine. One down side is that in an effort to keep the weight down there are no mud guards or pannier attachments. If you require these then the Dahon Boardwalk might be a better choice. It does not have the same graceful look, but it does have the additional attachments.
Where to buy the Dahon Mu Uno?
In my research I found that the best place to buy this bike from was Amazon. They offer a great price, and free shipping. As this bike is so simple home maintenance is easy, and there is no real need to take it to a bike shop for regular repairs.
Just How Quick can I fold the Dahon Mu Uno?
In this video produced by Dahon, you can see the bike being folded in under 11 seconds!
With few cables, or moving parts this is the ultimate in no fuss commuting. Unlike more complex bikes you are not going to be sat at the traffic lights trying to get the gears to the right ratio. If you are looking for the ultimate in reliable commuting choices then this is a great mid level commuting bike. It’s simple to use and the Dahon Mu Unos minimal design will give years of pleasure as you cut through the traffic.

If you are dedicated to building muscle, you have to buckle down and get started. You might not see a six pack tomorrow, but starting today is the most important thing to do when you want to build muscle. Here are some smart tips that will help you build those muscles.
7 Best Yoga Exercises for Weight Loss & Flat Belly
We all know that fat loss yoga is a thing. The reality is that yoga can bring in front a very good way to lose weight naturally. But which are the Best yoga exercises for weight loss? This can be a bit tricky to figure out, which is why we created a list with the best daily yoga routine for weight loss. 7 Best Yoga Exercises for Weight Loss & Flat Belly
If you want to increase muscle mass, you need to warm up the right way. Take your time increasing your muscle mass to avoid muscle strain and injuries to ligaments. You can avoid this injury by warming up properly. To warm up correctly, stretch or walk for approximately ten minutes before your workout, then start with a few short, light sets.
Try to consume some carbohydrates and proteins prior to going to sleep. The calories that you obtain will cause your body to reduce the rate at which it breaks down proteins while you are sleeping. Eating a small portion of cheese and a fruit is a great way to do this. You should also eat something soon after you wake up.
If you want to build muscle, give yourself enough time for recovery. It may seem tempting to go full steam ahead, but your body needs time off so you do not hurt yourself. Stick to a muscle-building routine that is about three times a week; beginners may need to start with twice a week.
Try varying the order that you do exercises. People who workout typically do exercises out of habit. However, it is important that you switch the exercises around in order to promote additional muscle growth. Try reversing the order of your typical routine. This lets you do heavier weights on the exercises that you typically do last, which can increase the growth of those particular muscles.
While training hard to build muscle, make sure to consume plenty of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates provide your body with the glucose that it needs for energy. When you're working hard you need energy to survive. Failure to consume enough carbohydrates can result in your body breaking down muscle to provide it with the protein and carbohydrates that it needs to survive.
Try varying your grips. Once you become experienced in working out, your muscles will start to resist any growth on exercises that are familiar to them. Different grips can help to make these familiar exercises different, which can cause additional muscle growth. Examples of exercise where you can change the grip are barbell rows, barbell curls, pull-ups, and bench presses. Try using wide grips, close hand grips, reverse grips, and even mixed grips that include having one hand up and one hand down.
Attempting a muscle building program while involved in difficult cardiovascular workouts or training for an upcoming marathon is not recommended. Although a certain amount of cardio is beneficial for everyone, bulking up at the same time that you are doing really intense cardiovascular work will be difficult, if not impossible. When you do build up your muscles you want to make sure your efforts are focused on strength-training regimens.
When doing a workout it is important to focus on only one exercise per body part when doing a full-body workout. This will help to ensure that you are maximizing your workout and not risking an injury. This will also help you to focus on your breathing and doing the exercises properly.
como fazer jump para emagrecer of muscle building is that some muscle groups show immediate results, while others take longer to develop. In order to address certain problem groups, a great idea is to use a fill set. A fill set is a short set focusing on your weak groups of muscles you can do a few days after working hard on this same group.
Your workout routine always needs goals, so set a new goal as soon as you have achieved an old one. Reaching a goal feels great, and you deserve to feel proud of your accomplishment. Just remember that building muscle is a process that you can keep working at indefinitely, as long as you have a fresh goal to aim for.
Continue to challenge your body. When you start lifting weights you will reach a point when the lifting becomes easy. When this happens add more weight. By continuing to challenge your body you will help to create the level of intensity that most effectively tears down muscle, so that your body continues to have the opportunity to build it back up.
Good sleep will work well with your muscle-building efforts. Since weight training and recovery go hand in hand, you need to make certain your body is getting all the rest it needs. No getting enough sleep or rest can interfere with bodybuilding results and may even lead to injuries.
Make your goals reasonable when trying to build muscle. The optimal results are attained over a period of time spanning hundreds of individual workouts. Trying to build muscle quickly using stimulants, steroids or other potentially harmful substances can damage your body, and in some cases actually lead to serious health risks and consequences.
While you might not want the physique of a bodybuilder, you can still build muscle as a way to improve your life. It can improve your self-esteem, give you more strength and help with your joints.
Try staggering sets of bodybuilding exercises. This method is excellent for smaller muscle groups, which include forearms and calves, that are lacking. Staggered jejum intermitente e dieta cetogenica involve performing extra sets of these smaller muscle groups while resting in between doing sets of your larger muscle groups. An example of this is doing standing calf raises in between bench presses.
Don't fall for the false benefits of steroids. Steroids work by replacing and overwhelming the naturally-occurring hormones in the body, which can have terrible effects. Additionally, steroids harm the liver and lessen the amount of "helpful" cholesterol in your body and may cause the development of breast tissue in men. Steroids negatively impact people's moods, an effect that has been termed "roid rage," and may promote acne outbreaks. Is all of this worth enduring in exchange for a modest increase in the speed of muscular development?
If you're a healthy adult who is attempting to put on muscle, you should probably think about consuming a creatine supplement. Creatine can increase energy levels and help your body build more mass. This supplement has been used for years in weight training. If you are not yet done growing, avoid all supplements.
Building muscle can be done with time and effort, but you also need the right kind of information and training. Let the tips in this article be your guide; apply them to your muscle building regiment and watch for results. Stay patient and you will soon be one of those bodies you used to envy.

“Spin loft is approximately the angle between the dynamic loft and attack angle. Spin loft is actually the three-dimensional angle between the direction the club head is moving (both club path and attack angle) and the direction the club face is pointing (both face angle and dynamic loft).”
A lot of golf teaching in the past has been making visual changes to your golf swing. Just looking at 2D images whilst making your swing look nice doesn’t always lead to improvement. Spin loft can’t be seen with your eyes yet it is a massive player in how efficient you are.
It has an effect on
- How fast the ball comes off your club face
- How much you spin the ball
- The direction your ball goes
- The height you hit it
- How efficient you are converting effort applied to distance
When it increases…
When the spin loft angle increases, the efficiency of energy transfer into the ball gets reduced. In other words, the ball will jump off the face of the club slower for any given club speed.
We call this (energy transfer ratio) “Smash Factor”.
- If your swing speed is 100mph and your ball flies off at 150 mph, you have a smash factor of 1.5 (very high).
- If your swing speed is 100mph and your ball leaves the face at 130mph, your smash factor is lower (1.3).
With increased spin loft, we also see an increase in spin rate.
This combination of lower ball speed (smash) and higher spin is a killer for distance with the driver – although it is very advantageous when hitting a wedge into a green. If you can swing fast and the ball comes off slower you are capable of generating more spin!!
When it decreases…
If you’re looking to hit your drives longer, having a spin loft that is small will help you get the ball coming off the face faster. Let’s take the world long drive guys for example, the have drivers that are 0*,1*,2* in loft whereas club golfers use around 10.5*. These guys that bash the ball miles use this loft because they are able to hit up on the golf ball a considerable amount using their angle of attack to launch the ball! So if you are able to hit up on the ball and deliver minimal dynamic loft the loft and angle of attack are traveling in the same direction. The ball then has the chance to shoot off the face incredibly fast.
Understanding your spin loft and how to change it has advantages at both ends of your golf bag. You could be a simple change from finding more distance off the tee or from being able to hit those high spinning wedge shots around the green. If you would like to know more about spin loft we need to get you on a launch monitor like Trackman 4 or GC Quad like we have here at Peter Field Golf.
What gets measured gets improved.

If you are new to the game, you might be wondering what are the most important golf clubs for beginners.
In a previous post, we shared why we believe the driver, wedges and putter are most important clubs in you are trying to reach a scratch level or even a single digit handicap level.
But, what about the beginner golfer that is simply trying to play respectable golf where they can keep the ball moving and keep up with golfers that have played for a while?
3 most important golf clubs to reach scratch!
3 Most Important Golf Clubs for Beginners
The beginner golfer should carry and try to reach a proficient level with a driver, a hybrid and a wedge for chipping.
Let’s break this down.
Why A Driver?
The driver is essential to every level of golfers. Without being able to get off the tee in decent condition, the golfer is going to add plenty of shots to their overall score.
However, the golfer that can advance the ball even 200 yards down the fairway or simply in play is much further ahead then the golfer that dribbles the driver or hits it into the trees on every tee.
The analytics are clear, the driver is vital to the overall success. There is a correlation between driving distance and handicap level. If you aren’t hitting your driver 250 yards or more, reaching a scratch level becomes difficult.
From the first day of playing golf, golfers should continuously try to find a way to hit the ball further and straighter. Enjoy the journey, spend the money on a quality driver and look for improvement through different methods: swing mechanics, speed training, club head control and visualization.
Key Takeaway: Learn to hit the driver, invest the money and the time to become a quality driver of the golf ball.
Why A Hybrid?
As the golfer is practicing and trying to improve with the driver, he or she is going to have some difficult rounds, but if he or she can hit a hybrid, they will soon have a favorite club. The hybrid will help them advance the ball after poor drivers or on those long par 4s and 5s.
The hybrid is designed to hit the ball high and far and out of a variety of lies. The hybrid is arguably the number 1 club for most mid to high handicap level golfers.
I would recommend a beginner golfer own 2-3 hybrids in the 3-7 range. This can help you on those 200 yard shots and even as short as 150 if you are struggling with mid irons.
The hybrid is a great long iron alternative, which is a club that even the single digit handicap golfers struggle with from time to time because they are difficult to hit.
Find a hybrid of two or three and take advantage of the technology built into these excellent clubs for beginners and high handicap golfers! More and more professionals are now playing hybrids, so don’t have a complex that only “bad” golfers play hybrids. This is far from the truth!
Key Takeaway: Test out some hybrids, invest some money and take advantage of these quality clubs to help you get to the next level!
Why A Wedge for Chipping?
Anyone that has played golf with a beginner will understand the struggles that many golfers face around the greens. It is not uncommon to see a golfer chip from one side to the next, maybe sometimes on the same hole.
If a beginner golfer can find a comfortable wedge to hit decent chip shots to get the ball on the green, he or she will save plenty of shots early on in their golf journey!
I would recommend a 56-60 degree wedge. The extra loft will help you get the ball in the air and help it stop on the green. Too many amateurs try to chip with their 48 degree wedge, which oftentimes is too little of loft and the 48 is designed differently from the 56 and 60, which are better for those short chip shots!
Key Takeaway: Invest the money to buy a quality 56 or 60 degree wedge and then spend 30 minutes per week minimum practicing chipping!
Helpful Drills or Training Systems
The following drills or training systems can help you hit every club in the bag better! Amateurs need to build the skill.
There are 3 essentials to a quality golf swing:
- Low Point Control: It’s all about quality contact (drill #1 below)
- Start Line and Curve Control: Get the ball started on line with a predictable curve (drill #2 below)
- Speed: Have enough distance to play the course (speed training system below)
The Low Point Control Drill
- Take some yard paint and paint a 1-2 yard long line.
- Setup with 55% of your weight on your front side.
- Try to hit the target side of the line and see how many times out of 10 you can do this successfully!
- Repeat this drill every day for a month, tracking your progress and your ability to do this successfully in trials of ten.
- You may need to start with half swing and progress to full swings.
If you are struggling, put more weight forward and work on keeping your head still to help control the low point in the swing.
Stock Shot Drill
- At the driving range, set up an alignment stick about 6-8 yards in front of you, straight down your target line.
- If you have a second alignment stick, set the stick 3-4 feet right of the first stick (for a draw) or left of the first stick (for a fade).
- Complete your initial assessment to see how many times out of 10 you can start the ball to the right or left of your target. Pick one side and measure your game at this point.
- The goal is to eventually complete this successfully 7 out of 10 times!
Speed Training Drill With SuperSpeed Golf
The game of golf has evolved to where speed is important in the game of golf. The faster your swing, the further the ball flies and the more shorter irons or wedges you have into a green.
Training for speed is a great idea and one worth exploring!
If you are going to train for speed, I would highly recommend the SuperSpeed Training System.
Gone are the days of simply being content with the distance you currently hit your golf ball. Many older golfers have proven over the past several years that an increase in swing speed is possible.
There are training systems to help you get your game to the next level and distance is arguably the fastest way to make this happen!
My number one recommendation is to check out SuperSpeed Golf and their protocols to help you find a safe way to increase your swing speed.
I spent many years wondering how I can increase my swing speed. When I was playing junior golf, we weren’t fortunate enough to have some of the training aids and knowledge that is now available. Smart people have studied the golf swing and have created training aids and protocols to help all golfers increase their distance!
At around the same time, the statistics from the PGA Tour have become more clear and the importance of speed is acknowledged by many to be a key to being the best on the PGA Tour.
Within the past several years, there have been several products hit the market to make speed gains possible. While many people for many years waited for the latest driver to come out to gain an additional 5-10 yards, you can now do this even with your current clubs.
Did you know that with the SuperSpeed Training System you can gain 5-8% increase in swing speed as early as the first training session? This would allow you to gain somewhere between 10 and 30 yards depending on your current swing speed.
The SuperSpeed Training System is based on three different swing speed sticks all weighing at different weights. There is a green club that is 10% lighter than the average driver, the blue club which is 5% lighter and the red club which is actually 5% heavier!
Following their prescribed protocols the golfer completes the training every other day. The total time to complete most of their protocols is between 10-15 minutes. Most people can find the time to make this happen. The golfer will also need a swing radar to measure their progress.
The science behind the SuperSpeed Training System is based on overspeed training. Overspeed training has been around for several decades now and has been used by olympic athletics in the sport of Track and Field.
The science behind this overspeed training is based on the premise that your brain will only allow your body to move as fast as it feels it can stop safely! So, you get to work and swing the clubs as fast as possible, retraining your brain to allow you to swing your driver faster.
For more permanent results, the golfer should continue these training protocols for several months. The initial 5-8% is great and can become more permanent with the right length of training. The golfer can expect to continue to break down barriers every several months at a 1-2% increase.
My own experience has been an increase of 7-10 miles per hour on average from between 98-101 all the way up to 106-109. My goal is to hit the PGA Tour average of 113 mph in the coming months. I will continue to train every other day and watch in amazement as I am hitting drivers longer now than ever before!
Phil Mickelson (a senior golfer now) has been known to increase his swing speed in the past year or so and is close to 120 miles per hour in his swing speed. There are potential results for golfers of all ability levels and age!

Common Swing Fault Areas and What to Explore
Slice or Hook
I would highly recommend checking out your alignment, grip and swing path. Those are numbers 1, 2 and 8 below.
Lack of Solid Contact
In addition to working on the low point control drill above, I would recommend checking out a swing where your weight is a bit more forward at setup to help control that low point better. This is number 9 below.
Lack of Distance
I would highly recommend the SuperSpeed Training Protocol above. It really is a game changer and worth checking out. I would also look at a stronger grip and faster tempo. These are numbers 2 and 7 below.
Lack of Consistency
While most golfers never feel consistent enough, most golfers want to hit their best shots more often and the worse shots less often. This starts with all three of the skills above. I would recommend reviewing how often you are working on those basics and check out our mental game resources linked below in number 10.
I would also consider ways you can play golf year round. I went with a Golf Simulator build in my garage which was a game changer for me and my game improvement. I have a bunch of frequently asked question resources linked at the bottom of this post.

My Secret To Golf Improvement
Let’s face it, in order to get really good at golf, we must practice frequently. About three years ago, I made the leap and invested in a golf simulator build for my garage. I went with a SkyTrak Launch Monitor and the TGC software and can now play over 100,000 courses including Augusta, Pebble Beach, Bethpage Black, Whistling Straits. St. Andrews and many other of the top 100 courses in the world.
This golf simulator setup, which is more affordable that you might imagine, has been a game changer. I can now play golf everyday of the year regardless of rain, snow, cold weather or time of day. I can practice or play rounds of golf. I can stand in the 11th fairway at Augusta and with the auto-rewind feature I am able to practice my approach shots from various differences.

Golf Clubs – Golf Balls – Golf Bags
So your thinking about some new clubs, or maybe even your first set of golf clubs? It’s important to get the right fit and feel for the clubs to really help your swing deliver.
Men’s vs Women’s Golf Clubs
In general, Women’s golf clubs are no different than men’s. There’s really not a huge amount of difference between men and women’s clubs aside from the weight, length, angle of club and possibly look.
Plain and simple –
… if ANY club is properly fitted for you it will be right, it doesn’t matter what heading it comes under.
Performance and feel are important.
There are a ton of ladies who play with “mens clubs”, and do so very successfully! WHY? … because they were “made up” and specifically fitted for them. That is the ideal! Fitting takes length, swing weight and club angle into consideration, all of which play a role in the proper address of the ball and swing follow-thru. Beyond that, a comfortable “feel” is what you’re after and there are many brands to choose from.
Of course, “golf club fitting” is a bit more expensive than clubs bought “off the shelf” so to speak for obvious reasons. But most can get a pretty good fit by buying women’s golf clubs that are made for women, because the majority of necessary changes are already built in so the chances of finding the right fit is relatively easy.
And anyone can bring their golf clubs up to your local pro shop and have them “tweaked” to give a more appropriate fit, so no need to worry.
We’ll highlight and review a wide variety of women’s golf clubs and ladies golf club sets for you to consider in your search.
In the end it will be your swing technique and delivery that gets you results. Yes, your golf clubs are extremely important, but if you don’t get the basic mechanics of the golf swing down, all will be for naught.
Golf balls can do a whole lot more than just looking pretty. Yes, those pinks, greens and yellows are irresistible, but it’s what they do for you that should be the focus.
Golf balls are designed for distance, loft/lift and roll.
There are as many golf ball manufacturers as there are golf clubs it seems. The choices just keep getting wider and better, and with new technology the choices are awesome!
Pure function here! … with a little style added.
With new materials now-a-days, you can get exactly the golf bag you are looking for without sacrificing weight and movability. Keeping your “sticks” safe while maintaining easy access to the right club is important too.
We’ll be checking out all kinds of ladies golf clubs, golf balls and bags, along with a whole slew of other women’s golf equipment and accessories.

Pitching machines for commercial use should focus on durability for prolonged daily use and allow for large ball hoppers to increase the number of balls that can be thrown per session (hopper size). The large hopper machines typically have the arm style throwing mechanism that only allows for fastballs to be thrown but the trade off is they are more consistent in pitch placement and can throw large quantities of balls due to the hopper size.
- You will want a machine that has a large hopper or a side containment apparatus that holds a large quantity of balls. The hopper allows balls to be auto-loaded into the throwing mechanism negating the need for the machine to be manually loaded (putting the ball directly into the pitching mechanism).
- Many large hopper machines have the an arm-style throwing mechanism.
- Most machines can be converted for both baseball and softball use.
- MasterPitch is one of the leading commercial use pitching machine manufacturers.
Pitching machines for residential use should focus on mobility and function. Pitch speed requirements will depend on skill and amount of usage. One factor to keep in mind is that you may not have the exact distance required for little league (46′) or high school and above (60’6″) mound distances. There are several resources available in order to calculate the speed adjusted to a custom distance. For example during the Little League World Series, you’ll often see the pitch conversion speed as adjusted to a major league distance. Which means a 70 mph pitch from the little league mound distance of 46′ would feel like a 92 mph pitch from a mound distance of 60’6″. Here are some things to consider for little league or youth pitching machines:
- Pitch speed
- Distance that the machine will be setup from the hitter
- The skill level or age of the hitter
- How easy will the machine be to move
- What types of balls will the pitching machine throw (e.g. real baseballs, poly balls, dimpled balls, etc.)
The types of pitches thrown will depend on the age of players. Younger players may only need to see fastballs to work on their contact skills while it would be highly recommended for older players to use machines that can throw breaking balls (curveballs, sliders, etc.). For older players it is also important to be able to see those different pitches so the hitting session doesn’t become too easy or basically allow the hitter to “just go through the motions.”
There are tons of differenct choices in machines available and the purchase is a long term investment. We’re always here to answer any questions you have on any machine.

Should women buy a woman’s road bike. It depends.
In this issue:
1. Women’s road bikes. What’s the difference? Do you need one?
2. Today’s quick tip
In the past a bike was a bike. They were made for men, and just men. Women were expected to ride bikes in a dress, and so they didn’t have many options if they wanted to do any more than that, and women’s bikes merely realigned the top tube to allow for the dress, and to allow them to mount the bike without lifting the leg too much.
But as we all know women are different to men. Men will have, as a general rule, a longer torso, longer arms and wider shoulders than women. Some women will have longer legs than men.
And when women were buying a bike they were forced to try and adapt a bike designed for a man to themselves. So they tried to find bikes with smaller frames and make them fit.
However at the end of the day a frame is a frame, and whether you put a shorter stem on the frame doesn’t change all that much. As a result women often rode bikes which were the wrong shape for them and which were uncomfortable.
But now there’s women’s bikes
Thankfully, over the last few years, bicycle manufacturers have seen the light and are now making bikes with frames specifically designed for women. However this is not the same for all bike manufacturers, many still make bikes just for men.
But what is the difference between a woman’s bike and a man’s bike? And does it matter?
Although there are many differences, there are probably 2 that are the most important. The first of these is the length of the top tube and the second is the saddle.
To allow for the fact that women tend to have proportionately longer legs and shorter torsos than men a bike designed for a female will have a slightly shorter top tube reducing the distance between the saddle and the handlebars.
And as a woman’s bone structure, where she sits on the saddle, is slightly different, women will benefit from a different saddle than men, and women’s bikes usually accommodate this need offering slightly different saddle shapes.
As a general rule women’s saddles are slightly wider than men’s.
There’s other differences between a woman’s bike and a man’s bike
Other differences include slightly narrower handlebars to accommodate the fact that a woman’s reach is slightly less than a man’s and her shoulder width is slightly narrower.
The intention of this different geometry is for the female rider to be in a comfortable seating position without having to stretch too far or to hold her hands too far apart.
And of course women have smaller hands, so groupset manufacturers are now beginning to understand that they should design their equipment to suit the needs of women as well as men. SRAM levers, for example, can be adjusted inwards to allow women with small hands to use them properly.
And of course a lot of this comes down to marketing, and shrewd bike manufacturers are now catering to the growing numbers of women who are road riding by introducing a range of colours and designs specifically intended to appeal to the female rider.
After all girls, colour is important.
But at the end of the day it’s completely impossible to design a bike for men or to design a bike for women. Millions of men ride road bikes, and they vary in size from short to tall, long legs, short legs, long arms, short arms and so on.
And the same applies to women. Like men women vary enormously in shape and size. And for this reason there are many women who are entirely comfortable riding a man’s road bike.
So if you’re a female, and looking to buy your first road bike, what do you do?
What you do is look for a quality bike shop that understands how to select bikes that suit their customers, both in budget and fit.
A good bike salesman is not someone who sells you the most expensive bike. A good bike salesman is someone who discusses your requirements with you carefully, takes note of your budget, looks at your physique, experience and equipment and can select a range of bikes for you to try out.
A good shop should always allow you sufficient time riding a bike before buying it. You should have the opportunity to ride a number of different bikes, so that you can feel the differences between them for yourself, and decide which one suits you. Not because it’s a woman’s bike, but because it’s comfortable.
And a great bike shop may even offer you the opportunity to ride with different saddles, handlebars and even different crank lengths so that they can tailor a bike exactly to your needs before you buy it.
So yes, girls, there are differences between women’s road bikes and men’s road bikes, but don’t just assume that if you’ve bought a bike designed for a female it’s a great bike.
Make sure you’ve bought a bike, whether it’s a man’s or a woman’s bike, that fits you and is comfortable. That’s the most important consideration.
Today’s quick tip.
Never buy a road bike without riding it first, and not just for 10 minutes either.

Summer is a season of longer days, warmer weather, and an opportunity for all athletes to take their training outdoors. As an athlete, it’s crucial to optimize your nutrition to support your performance and recovery during your training sessions. Let’s take a look at 10 nutrition tips specifically tailored for athletes to thrive during the summer months.
Hydration is essential for maintaining optimal performance and preventing dehydration. During summer workouts, you’ll lose more fluids through sweat, so make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after training. Consider adding electrolytes to your water to replenish essential minerals lost through sweat.
Consume Sufficient Carbohydrates:
Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for high-intensity workouts. In the summer, your body may burn through carbohydrates faster due to increased activity and heat. Prioritize whole food sources such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to provide sustained energy throughout your workouts.
Emphasize Electrolyte Intake:
Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium play a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Include foods rich in electrolytes such as bananas, leafy greens, avocados, and coconut water in your diet.
Optimize Protein Intake:
Protein is essential for muscle repair and recovery. Aim to consume an adequate amount of high-quality protein sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, and plant-based alternatives. Spread your protein intake throughout the day to support muscle protein synthesis.
Prioritize Nutrient-Dense Foods:
Fill your plate with nutrient-dense foods to support your overall health and performance. Include a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats in your meals. These foods provide essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber.
Control Portion Sizes:
Maintaining portion control is important to avoid overeating or undereating. Listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues to fuel your workouts adequately without feeling overly stuffed or deprived. Consider tracking your macros and calories only if it aligns with your goals.
Consume a balanced meal or snack containing carbohydrates and protein about 1-2 hours before your workout. This will provide you with sustained energy and help prevent muscle breakdown during intense exercise. Experiment with different options to find what works best for your body.
After a challenging workout, prioritize post-workout nutrition to kickstart the recovery process. Aim to consume a combination of carbohydrates and protein within 30 minutes of finishing your workout to replenish glycogen stores and promote muscle repair.

The F_1 is a Formula racing fin that was initially developed in 2011 and since that point of time successfully used in different national and international competition around the globe.
We optimized the carbon layup year by year and can offer different fin characteristics depending on the customer requirements.
The fin allows excellent performance over a wide range of conditions and is inducing perfect control into the board-fin-system.
The F_1 has very high torsion stiffness and we can offer a bending stiffness range from super4-soft to super2-soft generating sufficient vertical lift to de-load the board and reducing the surface friction drag between board and water.
The board gets a very stable planning position and can be fully sailed on the rail and fin. We designed the carbon layup orientation and geometric twist in a way that the fin still allows very good control in the upper wind range.
The F_1 is produced with high-end carbon types like IMS65 and TeXtreme. These materials are the base for long-term performance and soft but durable fins.
We produce in length, rake and stiffness based on the requirements given by customer.
Available in length of 66 to 75cm in DT. Sizes bigger than 70cm are cut at the tip so that the overall length is 70cm.
A detailed surface area chart can be found in the “About fins” section.

If you already knew how to play golf properly, you wouldn’t be here reading this, and you probably wouldn’t need the advice from this article. You are reading these tips, and hopefully you will discover some very valuable advice that will prove to be the key to greater success of your game!
When you swing a golf club, put your whole body into it. Use your entire body to generate the power for your game, not just your arms and legs. Utilize all of your body’s muscles to get maximum power as you swing your club. This can help propel the ball further so that you don’t have to swing the arms too hard.
A smart piece of golf advice is to pass on renting a cart, instead of renting a golf cart. Walking will also keeps your muscles loose and during play.
One way you can ascertain if you potentially have faults in your golf stance is to utilize an easy toe-wiggling exercise. If it is difficult to wiggle your toes when preparing to swing your club, this indicates you are leaning too far towards the ball. A golfer should lean back to the point where their feet gives them proper posture.
One of the most important things you need to learn a golf is proper club grip. Try to use a soft, yet firm.Hold the golf club as though you would hold a small bird.
Wiggling your toes helps you figure out the correct posture as you are getting ready to swing the club. Your feet should have restricted movement to ensure you are leaning properly. You should lean into the ball so that your feet can move just a little bit, but not excessively.
Use your entire body for power your golf swing. Beginners often mistakenly believe that the arms power the swing, but using the arms alone makes for an clumsy, unbalanced swing.
If you are faced with a very long putt, you should devote most of your concentration to the speed with which you hit the ball. Don’t shoot for the hole; shoot for a target just short of the hole. This will help you to moderate the speed and direction of your putt, preventing a painful overshot or too short of a shot.
One can find possible problems with their golfing stance is to utilize an easy toe-wiggling exercise.If it is difficult to wiggle your toes when preparing to swing your club, the golfer is leaning in to the ball too far. Golfers should lean back far enough to have the ability to wiggle their feet to get proper posture.
Play with more experienced or skilled players and pay careful attention to what they do every time they take a shot. You will definitely benefit from watching a better player. Any golfer who’s more skilled than you can help you. A golfer at a professional level isn’t required. Try to pay attention to how they play and get new ideas for your game.
Wiggling your toes can help you much about your posture is before you are getting ready to take a golf swing. If your feet have freedom to move around without any effort or resistance, then you need to reduce the angle at which you are leaning relative to the ball.
Learning to keep score is a very useful skill as it pertains to golf. Knowing your score is helpful for determining your status as a player. Each hit on the ball is called a stroke and each stroke is recorded. Once you have completed a hole, you add up how many strokes it took you, and you then have the total score for that particular hole. Your goal is to land the ball with the least amount of strokes possible.
Focus 100% on how you will proceed with the next shot. Dwelling on past mistakes will only beget more of them, so just focus on the present.
Put your entire body into your swing to get a powerful shot. Your body should swing along with the club and you should use your legs as a source of power.
When you are gripping the putter and standing over the ball, it is important to have your hands slightly ahead of the line between your head and the ball. Maintain this position throughout your swing.
When teeing off, make sure the back edge of your leading foot is parallel to the ball. If you are going to swing, the ball should be placed between your feet. The exception for aligning the ball at a center point between your feet is when you’re making a shot from a slope.
If you have to putt a ball across a large green, you need to focus your concentration to speed when hitting the ball. This ensures you don’t overshoot the best chance of success for your putt.
In order to improve your golf skills, make sure you are standing in a proper position. Your position can influence how far the ball goes. The ball won’t go far if you are slouched too much or too little.
If you know some good golfers, play with better players than yourself and be mindful of their techniques. You can learn a lot from a seasoned golfer. You need not engage a pro to get help from a superior player.
Mental preparedness is as critical in a good game of golf, as is physical preparedness. Put all other stresses in your life out of mind and focus on the game.
To maximize swing strength, your entire body needs to be involved, from your torso all the way down to your legs.
Stay in the right stance. If you’re not sure if your posture by the ball is good or not, then you can test yourself simply by wiggling your toes without moving the feet. With a small amount of effort, tapping your toes should not be a problem. If you are angled too far forward, this will be tough. If you can do it very easily, you need to lean forward a bit more.
During any swing but the drive shot, the golf ball should be almost dead center between your feet when you swing. The only exception to this stance is when the ball is lying on a slope.
Before hitting the golf ball, take a nice, deep breath. By doing this, you will help yourself calm down and be able to focus more on how to properly address your ball. Take the time to visualize the destination you want your ball to go to, and take your swing. Any tension you have will be removed through deep breaths.
Be sure you are using appropriate posture to maximize the right golf swing. Your position can influence how far the distance the ball goes. The golf ball won’t go far if you slouch too much or too little.
If you limit how far you back swing, you will maximize your power to the golf ball. Pulling back the club will have a negative effect on your posture. This will result in poor accuracy, and possibly cause you to get injured.
The handle must rest on top of your palms while your thumbs pointing down. Both hands should be touching each other on the club. Choke up to put more power behind your club when you want the ball to go farther.
Beginners should be aware of tee height. Your drives will suffer in efficiency if the height of your tee is improper. The golf ball should always be just above half the face of your club.
Contrary to what most people say, maintain the same ball position for all shots. This helps you maintain the same stance and adds consistency for each shot. When you need loft in the clubs, bring your back foot toward the front and increase the height but keep the ball in position. This approach will help you choose the proper club for any situation that you may encounter.
Focus on the short game when you don’t have much time to practice. Strive to become a better putter, and work hard to improve your chipping. The higher your skill levels are on the green, the better your scores will be. Find more time to work with wedges, 7 irons and more wedge shots on a short range for a perfect routine.
Take a deep breath before hitting the golf ball. Doing this can clam you find your calm and allow you focus on the ball. Take time to imagine where you desire the ball to travel. Deep breaths could also remove tension when playing competitively.
Paying attention to things is essential to good golf. You should always be ready, when it it your turn, to take a shot. There will be fellow golfers waiting to play on the hole that you are at, and they will not appreciate long delays due to you not being ready to take your shot.
Don’t stiffen when you go to swing your club. This is a common problem that will impact your game.Make sure you don’t tee off stiff!
A good grip is absolutely necessary for perfect manipulation and stroking of the golf ball. Having a good grip on the club will allow you to hit different types of shots. The foundation of a good grip is the positioning of your top, non-dominant hand, as proper placement will increase your overall accuracy.
Concentrate on practicing your short distance golfing skills when you have small chunks of time. Focus on perfecting your chipping abilities and putting skills. If you aren’t as starved for time, begin with wedge practice, then switch to your 7-iron for some mid-range shots, then head back to the sand trap for more short-range shots.
Practicing on a miniature golf course can help you a lot by improving your game for the next time you hit a regular golf course. By practicing on the putting obstacles, your short game is tremendously improved. Being able to put through a windmill and over hills may be a little whimsical, but it is really helpful on the real green.
Learning lessons from the golfing mistakes that others have made is a lot easier on your spirit than continually making them yourself. The tips presented here were hard-won through the trial and error of countless golfers that have come before you. Build upon their experience and use these tips to improve your game without so much pain.
If you take the time to practice, you can keep yourself from making common errors like slicing. It occurs when the front of your club strikes the ball at an off-angle. Line your entire body up in a fluent stance that is parallel to your target, from your shoulders to your toes. On the downswing make sure your hands are out in front of your body and try not to let yourself get ahead of the ball.
