Undress for a Sexy New Year!

With the holidays and all their accompanying frenzy behind you, now is the perfect time to exhale and relax, right? Wrong. Now is the time to make sure you're sticking to those crazy resolutions you made! Do you know what ranks in the top three for resolutions in 2008? That's right, it's on your list, too: getting fit. Get back to your high school all-star race weight or just get your body ready for the swimsuit days of summer.

Never fear, the Underwear King is here to make sure you're dressed right when you walk into the gym. I'll have you in the perfect underwear for your workout and the rest is up to you.

Several different types of athletic underwear may be ideal for you. Your choice depends mostly on the type of workout you do, and your personal preference. Click the photos at right to see four distinct athletic styles in gorgeous detail.

Jocks are for jocks
A jock strap is going to be the most supportive yet minimal piece you can wear. Any jock strap is great for running, playing soccer or other team sports, and high-intensity gym workouts. What makes this C-IN2 Bamboo Mesh Street Jock so special is that it's made from a super soft bamboo fiber that's naturally anti-microbial and moisture-wicking. (Hello, non-stinky gym bag!) Plus, the mesh construction makes it breathable and the cool colors make it fun.

Don't ever change
If you're a brief guy every day, there's no reason why you have to switch to jock straps or trunks when you walk into the gym. Plenty of athletic briefs offer the performance benefits you need with the comfort you're used to. The soft cotton Body Hip Brief by Calvin Klein has an ergonomic fit with high-cut leg holes that give you unrestricted movement, so it's perfect for stair-climbing or the elliptical machine.

Bigger than briefs
Trunks are the gym underwear of choice for guys going in to lift weights. They offer great support and fit just right under your track pants. DKNY's Sport Hip Trunk has an ergonomic mesh design that offers great ventilation and follows the contour of your muscles. Plus, it's made from a moisture-wicking microfiber -- so you won't be "that guy" who leaves a pool of sweat on every machine he touches.

Maximum Performance
If you're ready to go all out and maximize your performance, Russell's NXT Compression Short is just the ticket for you. For court sports, running, weight-lifting and more, this ideal base layer short is specifically designed to aid circulation, reduce fatigue and allow your muscles to perform their best.
