Different Bicycle Exercise for Different Results

Depending upon your goals, try to fit in a cycling workout 3-5 times a week. 

If you are training for a particular event, cater your training to this event. However, if you are just looking to increase your fitness in the off season, focus on accumulating kilometers through longer, slower rides.

Long Slow Distance: a longer ride (1-3 hours) at a slower tempo. This is essential for acclimatizing your body to the endurance aspect of the sport of cycling. Incorporate at least one long slow ride into your schedule every week.

Tempo or Interval Training: These rides usually last 1-2 hours. Although the pace is slower overall, work in periods of 30-60 seconds where you increase the tempo to a more difficult level. This accustoms your legs to pedaling at a fast tempo.

Hill Training: Hill training is a good way to mix up your training, but does not interest everyone! It is more difficult, and the benefits may not seem readily apparent unless you plan on cycling in a hilly or mountainous region. Nonetheless, it is a challenging way to increase your fitness and proficiency with climbing!

Sprinting: People underestimate how fast you can go on a bike - but you don’t get fast by riding slow! On your next ride, practice a few intervals where, for 10-20 seconds, you sprint as hard as you can. This is great training for racing, but also helps your body get used to the muscular burning of lactic acid, a by-product of muscular effort.

6 Fashion Movies Every Fashionista Should Watch

By The Fash Hub

Whether you are an aspiring model, a designer in the making or a fashionista who breathes all-things fashion, you would love our pick of fashion-centric movies.

While The Devil wears Prada would be the obvious choice, there are so many that pans the fashion spectrum in their own shade of white black and grey – loads of grey.

From correctly timed rib-tickling scenes to a peek of the bad and ugly, here’s a list of movies that anyone serious about fashion should watch.

1. Mahogany
Mahogany is a 1975 American romantic drama movie directed by Berry Gordy

2. Unzipped

Unzipped is a 1995 American documentary film, directed by Douglas Keeve. It gives you a glimpse of what goes behind the scenes in a strategically shot documentary

3. Naomi Conquers Africa

When the documentary title has the name of one of the biggest supermodels of her era, you knew it has to be a fashion studded affair. Documenting Naomi’s trip with her supermodel friends – yes even BFF Kate – this movie would make you feel at once jealous and awed both.

4. Gia

Gia is a 1998 biographical HBO film about the life of model Gia Marie Carangi starring Angelina Jolie, Faye Dunaway, Mercedes Ruehl, and Elizabeth Mitchell.

5. Marc Jacob and Louis Vuitton

If you want to know what the fashion’s leading designers do this is the movie to watch. A word of caution for designing enthusiasts this would make you feel both insubstantial and hopeful at once.


If these are the people you want to emulate, you’d love this.

6. Mujrosa

The recent Lakme Fashion Week held a screening for fashion films where Mujrosa won an award. The brilliant cinematography, short narrative and palpable creativity makes this one a winner.

Tip: Determining Your Bicycle Saddle Height

Setting the right saddle height is essential for comfort, efficiency and avoiding injury. It's very important to set your seat for the maximum combination of comfort and speed. Your saddle should be high enough for your leg to straighten fully when pressing the pedal in the “6 o clock” position. Your saddle nose should also be very slightly raised to take some weight off your arms, though not enough to cause pain or numbness in the crotch.

Differential diagnosis for IBD treatment – Facts to know

The step-by-step scientific process that focuses on the causative factors of a disease, while subsequently comparing them with other diseases that might trigger the same symptoms, differential diagnosis helps distinguish a particular disease condition from many others  that trigger similar symptoms. As most of these symptoms are non-specific, diagnosis based on the visible symptoms alone can lead to serious misdiagnosis, the reason why differential diagnosis is widely recommended. It can also help eliminate imminent life-threatening situations with time-bound detection and treatment of fatal symptoms that can quickly deteriorate the condition of the patients. A set of generic symptoms can always make it difficult to detect the presence of a disease causing entity. Differential diagnosis brings in ease and clarity to the diagnosis process through time-tested systematic approach that focuses on all the relevant possibilities, thus leaving away little chances of misdiagnosis or wrong recommendation of treatments. As opposed to Crohn’s disease ulcerative colitis can be better diagnosed with differential diagnosis, mainly due to the affected area, apart from several other notable factors like being a perineal disease, development of fistulas and histologic granulomas and appearance of full thickness of the intestinal wall, as well as the presence of deep ulcers. The granulomas appear evidently in about 50 percent of Crohn’s disease patients, whereas the fistulas are found in among 25 percent of them.  Differential diagnosis IBD includes a very comprehensive medical examination and expert review of patients’ clinical history, apart from examining the results of various tests, including blood tests, stool examination, endoscopy, biopsies, and imaging studies, as they help identify and confirm the severity, of the disease condition, based on which personalized treatment methods are suggested to help patients achieve and maintain remission, and thus regain their health and wellness. IBD symptoms range from mild to severe and appears intermittently, followed by phases of relapses and slow disappearance.

Go Summery Shimmery with Metallic Tattoos

APRIL 2, 2015

Can you feel summer knocking on the door? More like billowing though every crack and open window.

We can complain all we want about the heat, summer still would be our favourite season. It’s a time to work that tan and rock awesome outfits. Bye bye layered up jackets and boots (though we’d miss wearing boots).

This summer is going to be all about metallic tattoos. Agreed they’ve been around for while but the increase in the number of celebs sporting metallic tattoos has definitely got them noticed.

Everyone from Beyonce, Alesandra Ambrosio, Sarah Jessica Parker, Vanessa Hudgens to Selena Gomez has tried the trend.

And metallic tattoos are a better alternative. Besides being versatile, it also comes minus the guilt and hassles of getting permanently inked.

Choosing the right metallic tattoo is important.

It’s best to get one that suits your general choice of accessory. No one’s saying you shouldn’t experiment but it makes sense to complement your gold wedding band with golden metallic ring tattoos.

You can always mix and match things up by opting for a pack of different metallic tones. Gold, silver and bronze look lovely together, especially if you’re going minimal with clothes.

Rock them at beach and pool parties or channel the boho chick in you by pairing these with wavy hair and flowy maxis.

Metallic tattoos do get a bit dressy. Think of it as wearing too many silver or gold ornaments since it’s primarily made to replicate the feel of metallic jewellery. If you want to wear metallic tattoos to weddings and occasions that require you to go big on bling, you might want to tone down wearing jewellery a notch.

Pair up these tattoos with a gold watch. Or only wear them as rings instead of the bracelets and arm bracelets too. Minimal is good.

Metallic tattoos don’t last that long, of course that was the intention but if you want them to last a little longer than they generally do, try not to wash that area often. I know gross but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!

You can also take a few drops of coconut or olive oil on a cotton swab and very lightly just breeze over the tattoo. This helps reinstate the shine but be careful as too much of oil can make the tattoo soggy which will subsequently peel off.
