When Bigger Isn't Better

Men seem to have bad perception. Lots of us think we're smaller than we really are.

And that doesn't just negatively impact our bedroom performance: Many guys fool themselves into thinking they're in good shape, and therefore don't work out and instead continue chowing down on cheese fries.

A new Australian study found that more than 60 percent of men were clinically overweight, but only half of these guys perceived themselves that way.

If you think you're fit, you're more likely to skip the gym and not make efforts to keep your weight on track. And you know obesity has been linked to a slew of health problems: cancer, diabetes, heart disease, early death, and more.

Think you're not overweight? Test yourself: Measure your waist-to-hip ratio. Surprised by the results? Then try our Power Training program—whether you have 2, 3, or 4 days a week to work out, you can add muscle, burn of fat, and get back in shape.

And the best thing about being smaller around the waist? You look larger below the belt.
