May Day, May Day….Mundo Unico has done it again!  What a wonderful start to kicking off the summer by sporting my first pair of swim wear for the season.  This occurred earlier in the week upon receiving these amazing, classic black swim briefs.  I took these out for a test run in the pool at my local gym and fell in love with these sporty briefs immediately.

Whether you’re looking for swimwear for water sports, simply walking on the beach, or lying out at the pool, these have you covered on all accounts.  First, the construction and fabrics used in these sexy briefs are what I’ve come to love about this manufacturer. These carry a blend of 84% Nylon and 16% Spandex.  This creates the perfect weight for ensuring these will keep their shape for seasons to come.

For me, perfect construction is a fundamental requirement of swimwear due to the relentless abuse and multi-function tasks that we require from a good pair of dependable swim briefs.  Simply stated, these won’t disappoint!  The elastic cord that ties in the front of the brief ensures these stay in place and serves well at creating a balanced look across the waistline. Finally, the companies “U” logo is embroidered in silver slightly below the hip on the front, left-hand side of the brief.  Get ready boys!  These are going to make you head to the pool early!

Hello, loyal UNBers and welcome back to my fourth installment of “Fitness Corner”.  My name is Darrin Miller and I’m the fitness staff writer for UNB.  Over the next three weeks, I’m shifting from focusing on the attributes required to set fitness goals and concentrate on the three main ways to leverage the goals you’ve set:

  • Goals As Building Blocks
  • Goals As Reflection
  • Goals AS Discipline & Willpower

Goals As Building Blocks

Goals can be whatever you want them to be, as such, one goal can be used to facilitate another.  Linking goals is useful to avoid the feeling of being overwhelmed.  For example, let’s say your goal is to be able to comfortably run 5 miles one year from today.  This is an admirable goal and for many people very realistic.  However, if you are not an avid runner or you do not engage in cardiovascular activity on a regular basis, as soon as this goal is posted doubt begins entering your mind:  “Five miles, that’s a lot, especially for someone like me,” you may think to yourself.  But fear not, the potential for goal failure can be alleviated by establishing smaller goals which will build upon one another to achieve the original goal.  One approach could be to break the year up into quarters and set a new mileage level goal each quarter relevant to the proceeding one.  In this scenario, you would have the following goals (using 15-Apr-2010 as a starting date for example purposes):

  • “I will be able to run 1.25 miles comfortably by 15-Jun-2010 increasing my running capabilities by 1.25 miles”
  • “I will be able to run 2.50 miles comfortably by 15-Sep-2010 increasing my running capabilities by 1.25 miles”
  • “I will be able to run 3.75 miles comfortably by 15-Dec-2010 increasing my running capabilities by 1.25 miles”
  • “I will be able to run 5.00 miles comfortably by 15-Mar-2011 increasing my running capabilities by 1.25 miles”

In short, one goal was built upon another goal and all of the achieved goals transformed an original dream into a reality.  So the idea is simple.  Take that big dream of yours and break it down into a series of smaller, more manageable, visions.

Now there are some people who might say “I could never do this.  I’m not that detail oriented.  Even at work, I’m known as the ‘big picture’ guy.”  This may be true.  Yet, sub-conscientiously you are already laying the fundamental building blocks for your fitness goals – whatever they may be.  After all, you did make the decision to start a getting back into shape ad you’re reading articles such as this one.  So there you have it.  With little forethought you have devised a somewhat vague big goal-improving your health, fitness, and well-being; and you are in the process of achieving one of the first smaller goals – increasing your knowledge about fitness.  All you have to do now is consciously develop your fitness goals building upon the initial blocks you have laid.

Remember patience is a virtue.  I’m pictured here in a Papi thin banned thong at 45 years old with a 30” waist weighting in at 162 lbs.  My current physique is a far cry from the 230 lb, 38” waist physique I had a 40.  Set and build upon your goals!!!

Most of us agree that there is good and bad in everyone and I suspect that 2Wink used this same concept to come with their new dueling pair of underwear; Cool Devil and Hot Angel.  As shown in the picture above, the Cool Devil is your basic white pair of underwear but with a catching red and yellow waistband sporting the 2wink signature across the waist band with red accented trim around the legs.  The arch nemesis, Hot Angel comes in blue with a white/blue waistband and white elastic around the legs. While the manufacturer classifies these as boxers, they’re cut high around the leg and at first glance appear to be briefs.

When first slipping into this mix of cotton and spandex undies, I was instantly impressed by the texture and weight.  It’s amazing at how little 8% of spandex can go a long way in a pair to create amazing comfort and spring back benefits.  I wore these all day while running errands and cleaning up around the condo.  While they are extremely comfortable, I found them a little problematic with staying in place around the leg, which is not typical of a traditional boxer.  I like the style, weight and stretch quality of these boxers, but not a fan of those that are cut this high around the leg; a total personal preference.

If you like this cut or interested in trying something close to a brief but without sacrificing the comfort of a boxer, these might be the idea pair for you.  The final dilemma is deciding if you’re evil’s defiance or the enemy of evil!
