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 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):
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!

If there is one brand that has the best chance to take designer underwear mainstream, it would certainly be Andrew Christian. To be honest, this is the first pair of Andrew Christians I’ve owned. Everyone I know that knows anything about underwear has a pair…if not multiple pairs. After a few times wearing my first pair, I can easily see why. This is truly amazing underwear. Truly amazing! I’m quite excited to write this review because it is underwear the whole world needs to know about.
Promises are something I value highly. When someone, or a brand, tells me something, I expect them to keep their promises. You may be asking yourself, “What promises in underwear are there?” I find it quite obvious. Though it really isn’t that big of a deal, I think it’s important for a brand to uphold their statements. That promise in this case is frontal support. Let me tell you, this pair keeps its promises.
You might be wondering what this awesome pair of underwear is created of and it’s kind of surprising. It’s made of 94% Rayon…from Bamboo. That’s right, I said it! Bamboo. The other 6% is Spandex. It’s so comfortable. Another promise AC makes is that it feels like nothing is there. They are right as you really forget you are wearing it. The front support is a dream. It’s really a whole package, pun or not. I put this underwear through the daily test and it passed. Through class, daily activities, and working out, it proved to be good, supporting underwear. If your drawer is lacking, you seriously need to buy this underwear. If it isn’t lacking, buy it anyway.

Candyman Fashions is one of the brands I have enjoyed working with the most during my span at Underwear News Briefs. Their unique take on styles, colors, and ability to push the boundaries of men’s underwear is amazing. They are probably one of the few companies that can make a pair of underwear look like plastic or leather and make them feel and wear like you have on your traditional cotton/spandex mix trunks.
I received the ”9526 Black/Red Boxer” in a size medium. Candyman Fashions often gets their ideas from role playing costumes and is probably better known for this unique take on underwear. Don’t get me wrong! I love a unique pair of undies. Sometimes, however, I crave something a little more subtle. Candyman has a great line of underwear that is just plain FUN to see and wear and you don’t have to get tied up in the whole costume look. The Black and Red boxer is one of those styles that’s not a costume…just simply a fun pair of undies. They feature a solid black front and back panel with a solid red 1.5” strip down both sides. Both the red and black have silver metallic specks woven into them to give these undies a unique shine and almost plastic or leathery look. This pair of Candyman also features a solid black elastic waistband with a contrasting white Candyman logo on the front.
These and many of the other styles from Candyman are great for daily wear, but these undies really shine when you wear them out on the town. The fit is great for all day wear, but the patterns, colors, fabric, and sex appeal are meant to be noticed. They are also able to add extra spice in the bedroom. I wouldn’t recommend wearing these to the gym or out for a run. I am not saying that you couldn’t, but I believe there are better undies for that. It would be best to let these eye catching undies be seen in the wild and not full of sweat while doing a squat workout.
Overall, I really enjoyed these undies. They add an element of fun and a little “something different” to my ever expanding underwear collection.

We gave away a ton of Andrew Christian jocks a few weeks back but they also sent us a jock to review. I really love the Almost Naked line. Michael is going to review the Almost Naked Brief and it’s amazing. We talked about it on the podcast. I got a chance to review the Almost Naked Jockstrap in royal blue.
As always when I put on something from the Almost Naked line, I wonder if it’s going to be too loose. So far, I have always been proven wrong. They really fit incredibly well. I don’t know how Andrew came up with this design or how long he worked on it, but it is my favorite of his lines. I put it on and wore it for another day full of errands. I usually wear review underwear while running errands in case I don’t like them and I can take them off on the go. I will wear them at a workday sometimes to give me a better feel for the undies. Sounds scientific doesn’t it? Not really! It gives me a quick impression of if I will like them.
My only complaint about the jockstrap is the leg straps get twisted. This is only a minor thing to me. For the most part, it was only noticed if I took my pants off. It was more aesthetic than function. With some jocks, if the straps twist, it makes for a really uncomfortable experience. If you are a fan of jocks, you really need to check these out. They are perfect for daily wear.
