The Jockey name stands for high quality materials, fine workmanship, a unique design signature and ultimate comfort and is currently sold in more than 147 countries around the world.
Jockey was founded in 1876 by Samuel T. Cooper whose goal was to revolutionise socks and hosiery and invented the first men’s brief called Jockey Shorts, forever changing the underwear landscape.

Right on time for India’s biggest surge towards smart wearables, the all-new Fossil Gen 5E smartwatch series has now expanded its partnership with Myntra, arguably one of the biggest players in the e-commerce marketplace in India. The launch of the new Fossil smartwatch series on the Myntra platform will cater to the growing demand for wearable technologies in India as more consumers move towards a healthier and smarter lifestyle.
Myntra has a long-standing partnership with Fossil, the iconic watchmaker, and as such, the brand looks forward to continuing serving customers’ varied needs while enhancing user experience.
Tiny with a big attitude
The new Fossil Gen 5E smartwatch packs so much in such a petite frame. Its predecessor (the Gen 5) having received rave reviews, the latest Gen 5E series is set to deliver the same performance but in a more compact design and at a much lesser price point. It has everything the everyday average user could ask for. Most importantly, the ability to connect with Smart Home devices, lights, music apps, and much more, seamlessly and effortlessly.
Wellness features such as sleep tracker, heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, distance tracker, and more, are built-in for the more health-conscious user. Being both iPhone and Android compatible, the Gen 5E is a gift for people invested in both ecosystems and planning to keep things that way for a long time. Designed for both men and women, the Gen 5E has a top-shelf performance that works for the athlete, business professional or tech enthusiast and is complete with a sleek and stylish look.
As smartwatches continue to become an integral part of everyone’s lives, Myntra aims to bring this technology to customers across the country and elevate customer experience through this partnership with Fossil.
So, you’ve seen Shein.com ads all over the internet, and thought they were too good to be true…right? They have so many envy worth items, dupes from designer brands, and trendy pieces, for affordable prices. When I first saw Shein, I thought “there’s no way this isn’t a scam”.
But, being as willing as I always am to try out a sketchy site (lol) for the sake of cute, affordable clothes, I placed an order. I crossed my fingers that everything would be okay, and paid with Paypal to protect from any potential fraud. And alas, the clothes came in. My verdict? I loved them!.
Now, while I was excited about the purchase, I could definitely understand some of the bad reviews I read online prior to purchasing. Some of the sizing was a bit off, some material wasn’t what I expected, and I could see the potential for irritation. Once I learned that all of the info I needed in order to shop smarter was available on Shein, my orders have been virtually perfect ever since. Even though it takes a bit more time, I truly believe Shein is worth giving a try since it’s so budget-friendly and affordable. Let’s talk about what I love Shein for, and what I don’t think the brand is as good for.
WHAT SHEIN IS GOOD FOR:
budget-friendly style
trendy pieces you don’t want to invest a lot of $$ into
designer dupes aka look-alikes
small accessories like hairpieces, bags, and jewelry
statement pieces
WHAT SHEIN ISN’T GOOD FOR:
timeless pieces that will last for years
pieces you can put everyday wear and tear on and expect them to hold up
This is VERY important. In my experience, clothes from Shein run small. While this isn’t true across the board, 90% of the time I have found this to be the case. This is why checking the sizing is important. When you hover over a certain size on the page of the item you’re interested in, measurements come up. In this case, I’m not saying you have to measure yourself every time, I would just check measurements you’re familiar with. For example, if I know a Medium is regularly a 28-inch waist and I see that on Shein, a Medium is a 25-inch waist, I know to size up.
2) READ THE REVIEWS
One of the best things about Shein is that they allow their customers to provide reviews. This is great since it provides real, candid thoughts from people who already own the item you’re looking to purchase. Often times, reviewers leave photos of what the item looks like on, and provide sizing info for others looking to buy. I can’t tell you how many times reading the reviews have made or broken a sale for me. Sometimes seeing a piece on someone else is so helpful and makes you want to purchase, and other times if I see too many negative reviews I’ll move on from that item.
3) BUY THE SHIPPING INSURANCE
When you go to check out at Shein.com, there is an option to add on shipping insurance for $2.99. This allows you to return items for free, no questions asked. This always makes me feel a lot better when I make a big order of 10 or so pieces. I love knowing that even if half don’t suit me, I can send them back quick and easily for a full refund. Shipping info can be found: here.
4) READ THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM
There are 3 important things to look for here. The Fit Type, Details, and Fabric.
Fit Type: Shows if the item is slim, regular, or oversized.
Details: Provides info on the construction of the item.
Fabric: Tells the material of the item. This is really helpful when determining if something is going to stretch or not. If something has stretch, I will sometimes stick with my normal size, but if no stretch is provided, I size up.
5) LOOK FOR PROMO CODES
As if Shein isn’t already cheap enough, there are almost always promo codes floating around! I often find them on Retail Me Not and by simply doing a google search for “Shein promo codes”. I also use the app Honey, which automatically applies every promo code to your cart and determines if they are applicable.
& THAT’S A WRAP!
Those are the top 5 tips I use each and every time when shopping on Shein.com. I hope these tips are helpful for you guys when ordering, and feel free to let me know if you have any further questions! I would also love it if any of you have ordered from Shein if you could share your experience in the comments! I think it helps us all to have a little perspective from others.
Beards are what set men apart from boys. Beards make Chuck Norris the ass kicker he is, and Wolverine, the Sentinel destroying force of nature! While it is common knowledge that beards make you look tougher, while simultaneously making women weaker in the knees; they are also, actual, scientifically proven reasons why a beard is actually good for you. So without wasting any time, let the science enlighten you on why a beard will actually add health points to your life.
Beards offer sun and UV protection to your face:
Beards are like nature’s armour for a man’s face! According to a recent study by the University of Southern Queensland, a beard actually blocks out95%of the sun’s harmful UV rays, and protects you from basal skin carcinomas (one of the most common forms of skin cancer). The sun’s heat and UV radiation are also to blame for premature ageing and wrinkles. Little wonder then that bearded men, not only look intimidating, but also appear better looking, with healthy skin!
Beards make your skin blemish free:
This one’s actually a case against shaving. Razor burns, nicks and cuts, actually leave your skin exposed to the elements, leading to the growth and development of acne, razor rash and folliculitis (hair follicle inflammation). According to dermatological researchers, at the ‘Osteopathic College of Dermatology and the Ohio State Wexner Medical Centre, razors not only irritate the skin, but also cause the spread of bacteria responsible for folliculitis.
Beards build an aura of ruggedness and masculinity:
You don’t need science to tell you that the’thicker and more voluminous your beard, the fiercer and manlier you are perceived to be. Little wonder then that not too many people in their right minds cross a
Beards provide your face natural moisture:
Bearded men have a better natural moisturisation system on their faces, thanks to their well protected sebaceous glands. What a beard does, is in essence is protects the sebum (natural oil) that these glands produce and prevent you from rubbing it off by accident. Thicker the beard therefore, the more well nourished and moisturised your face. And for any extra moisturisation you may need, you can always check out our kickass range of Beardo Beard Oil.
Beards act as air filters:
In a study conducted by Dr. Clifford W. Bassett, Allergy and Asthma Care of NY, it was found that bearded men are less likely to contract asthma, breathing problems and other respiratory conditions, thanks to their man sprawls. Beards act as natural air filters, trapping allergens, pollen and other irritants that would otherwise inflame and irritate your airways!Beards are more than just nature’s way of saying, go out there and be awesome! They are a practical, medically and scientifically proven way of staying healthy and holistic living. No wonder Ayurveda, India’s ancient medical science, was conceived by silver bearded geniuses!

While cycling is a great low-impact activity, it’s also extremely repetitive and can often lead to limited range of motion.
To combat tightness and pain, it’s important for cyclists to maintain a consistent stretching routine that focuses on the muscle groups that contract concentrically (shorten) during pedaling and can limit the mobility of your joints.
1. DOWNWARD-FACING DOG
What it helps: Since power is generated from the core and lower back during cycling, these areas can become fatigued and tight. This stretch releases tension along the entire spine and opens the hips while stretching the calf and hamstring muscles.
How: Begin on your hands and knees. Raise your hips up by straightening legs, keeping your hands on the ground and slightly in front of your shoulders. Contract the quadriceps, and push your hips back. Concentrate on pushing your heels toward the ground and keeping your spine as straight as possible.
Reps: Hold for 20–30 seconds, and repeat 3 times.
2. DOORWAY STRETCH
What it helps: Because you never reach full leg extension during the pedaling motion, the hamstrings are in constant contraction. Hamstring flexibility and lower back pain often result. To counteract these common complaints, work on hamstring flexibility — particularly within 10–15 minutes of your ride.
How: Lie in a doorway with one leg flat on the ground. Place the other leg straight up on the frame of the door. Scoot your butt as close to the door frame as you can tolerate. Keep your back and hips flat on the ground.
Reps: Hold for 20–30 seconds, and repeat 3–4 times.
3. SEATED GLUTE/PIRIFORMIS STRETCH
What it helps: The glutes are your workhorses during cycling. You rely on your glutes to generate power during hard efforts like hill repeats. If these muscles become fatigued or tight, it could lead to lower back pain. This stretch will target the glutes and piriformis muscles, which attach to the backside of your pelvis.
How: Sit in a chair and cross one leg, with your ankle resting on the opposite knee. Keeping your back as straight as possible, bend forward at the hips so your shoulders fall toward the shin of the crossed leg.
Reps: Hold for 20–30 seconds, and repeat 3–4 times with each leg.
4. UPPER TRAP STRETCH
What it helps: Because of the bent-over position common in road cycling, the upper trapezius can become fatigued from the constant contraction needed to hold up the head. This stretch will help to loosen the muscles, which run from the base of the skull along the back of the neck to the upper shoulders.
The stretch: Sit in a chair with your head in a neutral position, and place your left hand behind your left hip. Place your right hand on the left side of your head, and apply gentle downward pressure, bringing your right ear toward your right shoulder. If you want to isolate the stretch higher in the neck, slightly rotate your chin toward your right shoulder.
Reps: Hold for 10–15 seconds, and repeat 3–4 times on each side.
5. REVOLVED BELLY POSE
How it helps: Lower back stiffness and pain are common complaints among cyclists, particularly after long or hard efforts. This stretch will help you relieve those symptoms by releasing tension in the lumbar spine.
The stretch: Start on your back with the knees bent. Stretch your arms straight out by your sides. Bring your knees into your chest, then lower them slowly to the right side. If you cannot lower your knees all the way to the floor, place a pillow on the floor, and allow your knees to rest there. Repeat on the opposite side. As you feel your lower back begin to loosen, you can increase the stretch by extending your lower legs so that your feet reach toward your outstretched hand after you’ve lowered your knees.
Reps: Hold for 20–30 seconds, and repeat 3–4 times on each side.
6. LUNGE AND REACH
What it helps: Another core muscle, the iliopsoas, can become tight from aggressive riding styles and the upstroke during the pedaling motion. This stretch will help to relieve tension on the front side of your hips.
How: Lunge your left leg, and put your right knee on the ground. Keep your back straight, and lift your right arm straight up in the air, reaching for the ceiling. Twist your torso away from the knee you’re kneeling on. Repeat with the opposite leg and arm.
Reps: Hold for 20–30 seconds, and repeat 3–4 times with each leg.
Energy is a resource which is vital for any runner. It’s something which helps to drive us forward, it offers us the ability to make a difference, and provides us with the tools to contribute to our community in meaningful ways. Energy is a resource which comes from within, it’s something we build up, something we should protect, and something to expel. A power which when harnessed, can push us further, way beyond where we thought we could ever go.
But it’s also something we can lose, a resource which when not protected, can begin to dwindle and run low. Amidst a challenging time or following a period of high energy, we as runners and individuals, can sometimes feel like we have no energy left at all.
We sat down with five of our adidasRunners captains and coaches from across the globe as they shared some of their favorite tips and tricks with us for gaining, storing and maintaining energy. Here’s what they had to say…
Mindset
“Boost your energy by giving your mind a timed power nap and wake up feeling fresh and focused. Get into your flow state by moving and breathing outdoors in the sun and with nature. Lastly, use water to move energies within and surrounding the body by hydrating, soaking in a bath or simply being close to a body of water.” – adidas Runners Manila coach Nikki Torres, on the topic of Mindset.
Nutrition
“One of our main sources of energy through food comes from carbohydrates. It’s important as athletes and runners that we incorporate carbohydrates into our meals not only to supply us with adequate energy, but in addition it aids in our recovery.” – adidas Runners NYC Nutrition Coach, Lottie Bildirici on the topic of Nutrition.
Movement
“Engage in other sports and practices so you can become more aware of your body and gain more energy; whether it’s powerlifting, basketball, football, yoga, capoeira, or even dancing. All of the above requires you to be on your feet and move in a variety of different ways, creating more connections within your body and the ground. Learn how to use your body and your energy and be explosive!” – adidas Runners Manila Captain, Jules Aquino on the topic of Movement.
Recovery
“There are many ways in which your body can recover from a powerful workout: you can meditate, stretch, lay down at home or even go for a walk! What’s important here is that you let your body recharge, re-fuel with good food, good thoughts and of course, rest! These are some awesome ways to recover and help to feel full of energy for a new day.” – adidas Runners Panama Captain, Marelissa Him on the topic of Recovery.
Gear
“What is your energy source? Is it the feeling of freedom, the silence, the speed? For me it is the connection of the world through the road. The feeling of confidence through a shoe is there to translate any surface and elevate the energy of any run into something different and something new. To recharge the body and soul with every step, bringing a whole new energy and feeling to a runners high!” – adidas Runners Dubai & Abu Dhabi captain, Lee Ryan on the topic of Gear.
Now that you have the tips and tricks from our AR captains and coaches on how to gain and maintain your energy, you’re all set to take part in the ULTRABOOST 21 Energy Challenge. Hosted on the adidas Running app, the challenge offers you the chance to energize your training, and give something back to the community.
