Hello, loyal UNBers and welcome back to “Fitness Corner”. My name is Darrin Miller and I’m the fitness staff writer for UNB. This week, as brought to you by Gary Gonzalez of NorCalBodz, I’m wearing thin banned, padded briefs by GoSoft briefs. These undies are wonderful for keeping you cool when working up a sweat due to the absorbency of the padded crotch
Over the next 2 to 3 weeks I’ll be exposing you to the world of visualization and self-affirmation.
As far as improving your fitness level, there are three aspects to focus on – the physical aspect, the mental aspect, and the spiritual aspect. The physical aspect entails cardiovascular activities and resistance training. Within the mental aspect comes resistance training as well. Bottom line most people are mentally resistant to do the things required to achieve goals – hard work, staying motivated, and making a commitment. Therefore, just like pushing that barbell to improve your physic, you will need to push your psyche everyday by exercising visualization and self-affirmation. After all, your roadway to improved health, fitness, and well-being will not go beyond the horizon unless you visualize it doing so and tell yourself that it can go that far.
Visualization is the act of seeing yourself where you want to be. This could be achieved by closing your eyes and envisioning yourself 20 pounds thinner, possessing a rippled abs, crossing the 5K finish line, etc. However, “a picture is worth a thousand words” (perhaps thoughts too?). Pictures motivate and encourage. My suggestion for an easy method of practicing visualization is to find and cut out photographs that inspire you and personify your fitness goals. Want to loose weight, cut out pics of thinner people. Want to tone and build muscle, cut out pics of guys with killer pectorals and washboard abs. Want to improve your running abilities, cut out pics of people running or tennis shoe ads. Obtaining images that inspire you is simple. Visit any super market and purchase two or three fitness magazines or download images from the web (UNB is a great place for this!!!). After you have cut out/printed the images that inspire you, paste these items onto various poster boards. These poster boards and images are now an inspirational tool for you, a reminder of what you aspire to be. They have become visualization posters. Place your newly created visualization posters in your workout area. If you plan to join a health club, then take just one or two images which inspire you and display them somewhere where they can be seen everyday, perhaps the inside of a locker or on the treadmill as you run or on your home bathroom mirror for example. If you have a home based gym, study these photographs between exercises and visualize yourself as the subject of the photographs.
I have taken the liberty of creating a series of 12 inspirational posters for you, complete with a tag line and an image. If you do not care for the images provided, 12 identical posters, which are void of images, are included. Click here to download your inspirational posters.
 First off I want to thank Chat H. in the Facebook page for posting this. This is an ad that 2(x)ist wanted to run in various magazines. They included Details and Men’s Health. But they two magazines rejected the ad for being too racy. How ever the ad has run in the June/July of Out Magazine.
This brings me to something that has been going through my mind. Why is it men’s underwear ads are a lot more conservative then women’s. There is a TV Commercial about bra and how it fits plus sized women, Victoria Secret models wearing thongs and the list goes on. While the world of men’s underwear advertising is basically non existent in the main stream media. The only place I have seen magazine ads have been in the gay publications, Out, Advocate, and Instinct.
This has not always been the case thought, back in the 80′s, Baseball Hall of Fame player, Jim Palmer often graced the pages of People, Time and others in his bikini briefs. Let’s hope we get some mainstream media exposure for the brands we cover!
What do you think? Do you think there is a double standard when it comes to mens’ underwear ads? (I hope this makes since, still sick but trying to be coherent )

SKMPEEZ was launched by two best friends in the summer of 2008. One, a designer, the other a businessman both with a love for fun in the sun and travelling. In preparation for a trip down south, the two searched high and low for the perfect swimsuit that not only made a statement but was still classy and fit well. After hours of searching store after store and then online, only one came home with a less than perfect suit. Following their trip, the two decided that with their skills they could design and produce their own swimsuits that were unique, fun, stylish and sexy. SKMPEEZ was born!

Go Softwear™ ushered in a new era of men’s undergarments in 1996 with the introduction of men’s padded underwear. Before the word metrosexual was in vogue Go Softwear undergarments were becoming a favorite among young, image and body conscious males.
Since then Go Softwear has introduced a range of underwear, workout wear and swimwear “with an edge”. The most popular style of underwear is the introduction of the “low rise brief,” inspired by the popularity of the lo-rise jean trend. The contour European fit with bold comic book colors and playfulness have become a favorite choice in men’s fashion underwear.

 Celebrity Fashion Designer Andrew Christian is finally coming home – after a whirl-wind past two years – to fulfill his biggest dream yet, opening up his own boutique. For the past two months Andrew has been hidden in his secretive bunker setting up shop. From the store layout, to the color scheme, to the mannequins diving from the ceiling, to the cash register that doubles as a “bar” it all came from Andrew. Don’t believe it, check the exclusive 3-D architectural renderings that have never been seen before publicly, until now.
If you’re still thinking this is simply an “Andrew Christian” store – then you couldn’t be farther from the truth. Besides carrying his own line, Andrew has also “cherry-picked” various lines from other designers that will be featured in the store that compliment his design philosophy.
Additionally, each month will feature a different outfit styled by a famous face in the fashion or entertainment industry. The first month will feature celebrity stylist Marcellas Reynolds from E! Entertainment’s “Perfect Catch” and Style Network’s “How So I Look”.
  
Moreover, Andrew will be stopping by the store quite often to host the numerous special events such as free Boot Camps and Yoga sessions to get you in shape for summer! Check the store or website for future details.
The Andrew Christian Flagship Store will have a soft opening on Monday, May 24th at 11AM, with the official Grand Opening on Saturday, May 29th at 11AM. As a thank you, Andrew will be sending out a secret word via his Twitter and Facebook – the first 100 people through the door on May 29th, with the secret word, will get an Andrew Christian Limited Edition canvas shoulder bag filled with surprises!
Andrew Christian Flagship Store
8943 Santa Monica Blvd.
West Hollywood, CA 90069
