When racing or taking the bicycle for an extended ride, one needs protection. It’s not just about which protective gear you wear, but also the kind of product you smear on sensitive body areas. This is what’s called chamois cream.

It’s something with a thick consistency to help in reducing friction effectively. It’s specifically applied in areas susceptible to chaffing and ending up with saddle sores. Hot spots can result in continuous rubbing of the skin, either against another part of your body or the saddle. This can lead to painful sores eventually.

Golf can be a great sport. There isn’t much better than hitting a towering drive off the tee that lands just on the fringe of the green on par four. Then an easy chip and put for a birdie. The problem is that between those perfect holes, you’ve got to suffer a few (or a couple dozen for some of us) not so great holes. What can you do?

The secret to golf, as is the trick to any other activity, is imagination and visualization. Ask any professional, and they’ll tell you that a gigantic part of their success is genuine, steady, visualization. When you imagine something, you are giving straight instructions to your subconscious mind on how you want to function.
