The Gentlemen’s Curb

Just like that! We are back. It’s The Gentlemen’s Curb a lifestyle blog where fashion meets fitness in a BIG way. Before you go on, make sure that you check out our last post all black everything. Feel free to contact us via email at kavah.king@gentlemenscurb.com. We would definitely love to hear from you. One of my favorite activities is a road trip so we compiled a list of accessories for road trips!

The Best Accessories for Road Trips

If you can’t wait to embark on your next journey and go on a cross-country road trip, it might be a good idea to start off prepared. There are plenty of great ways you can improve your long haul driving experience, safety, and comfort level. From driving assistance apps and tools to things that will keep you comfortable and help you avoid back issues or stiff legs, you can pick and choose based on your preferences. Find a few ideas below.

Seating Upgrades

When you are going on a road trip, you need to ensure that you are sitting comfortably for the hours you spend behind the wheel. There are some great cooling and heating seats you can install yourself, or covers that will do the same job at a lower cost. Best of all, you can even customize your seat covers at CalTrend and give your car the appearance it deserves and a personal touch.

Navigation Apps

When you are entering unknown terrain, you might want to think about upgrading your navigation system. Find out whether or not the maps you will need are included in your Satellite Navigation system, and if not, you will need to get a professional app. Some of the latest things you can get will let you know of temporary lights and speed limits, so you can make an informed decision on time whether or not to change your route.

Wireless Charging

If you are going on a road trip with your family, or are looking to drive hundreds of miles a day, you have to keep everyone connected and charged up. While you can get a USB or DC charger in the car for multiple devices, wireless charging in cars is one of the best technologies you can use. You will not have to deal with the multiple wires and handing over the devices taking your eyes off the road.

Portable Fridge

Guys appreciate having a cold drink all the time. If you are visiting a hot country, no air conditioning will save you from dehydration, especially if you take regular breaks without a shade. You can have a cooler box, but it is not going to last too long. A portable fridge that keeps your snacks and your drinks cold on a road trip will come useful when you are in the middle of nowhere and need refreshment.

Scenic Camera

To capture the scenery without getting distracted and creating a video of your trip, you might want to get a wide angle camera installed in your car. You can create hours of car footage, in high quality. Your regular dash cam might not provide you the resolution you really need, so invest in a professional model with long battery life.

Taking road trips is one of the best ways of unwinding and taking a step back from your routine. Make sure you are prepared and stay comfortable during the trip by accessorizing your car.

 Shake It Up! Gaining An Appreciation Of Sports When It’s Not On Your Radar

There’s more to sports than just improving your fitness. If you are someone who likes the idea of sport, but you don’t necessarily have an appreciation of it, especially when your buddies are all gathered round to watch the game and you could think of something better to do, are there any ways for you to gain an appreciation of sports?

Join A Local Team

Maybe you were someone in school that shied away from doing sports, but as you got older, it’s something that has piqued your interest. If so, and you are someone whose only form of exercise is going to the gym and being by yourself, joining a local team has so many benefits. Not only is it a great way to get out there and play some sports, but there are so many social and psychological benefits to joining a local team. If you’re someone who trains in isolation, you can very easily get into a funk, where you are hitting plateaus and not shaking up your exercise routine. Playing a sport forces you to think differently and you will naturally train other body parts, especially if you don’t focus on the more minor muscles in your usual workout

Don’t Look At Sports As A “Macho” Thing

There’s a lot going around at the moment relating to toxic masculinity. Sports can easily fall into that category because it’s, predominantly, “macho”. Look at the British female rugby teams, they are making a name for themselves. But also, if you were someone that shied away from sports as a child, it’s hardly a surprise that you’ve got this perception of it being a macho thing. By doing sports, you can get an appreciation for how the game is played and this can improve your appreciation of the sport. You could begin to make a few bets on sites like Betting.com or dive in and actually sit down with some friends to watch a game. By doing a sport, and then watching it on TV gives you a more comprehensive appreciation of how difficult it is.

Look At It In Other Ways

If you have a mental block when it comes to team sports, looking at it in other ways, and how it’s more than just a bunch of people running at each other in a field, can give you a better appreciation. It’s not just a physical game. In fact, any sport is a combination of brains and brawn. And as sports like football or rugby are as much about the mental game as it is the physical one, you could use this to your advantage and learn other plays within a specific sport. Think of it as a game of chess- but you’re also using your muscles. In fact, there so many benefits, psychologically speaking, when doing sports. The stress aspect is interesting because you can harness it for positive results. And in fact, this is something that’s not just used in sport, but it’s used in life and business. On InspirationalDevelopment.com you can see how leaders use stress to get better results. And purely from the social perspective, watching sports is a great way to get your heart pumping without even getting off the couch! So if you’re someone who doesn’t have much of an appreciation of sports but you like the idea of it because it gets you fit, learning to look at it in other ways can open you up to the various potentials.

Whether we are stuck in a rigid exercise routine or we feel intimidated by the idea of team sports (or bigger people in the gym), joining a team and getting an appreciation of sports, in general, is a great way to bring down those psychological barriers. This is especially true if you find the sport to be somewhat too masculine and you don’t find yourself in that category. To gain an appreciation of sport, it isn’t just about the physical aspects, but naturally, these are positive by-products. Getting an appreciation of sports by doing more of it can help you in so many different ways. Not just in terms of the physicality, but socially, psychologically, and tactically. Plus it’s just a great way to release some pent up aggression as well! Even if you were the skinny kid in school that was picked last in gym, don’t let your preconceived notions of sports hamper your enjoyment of them. Sometimes it takes a few decades for us to gain an appreciation of it, but you don’t know unless you get out there. So, you may have a great routine in the gym but to truly feel the physical benefits and the mental ones, you’ve got to shake it up.
