Body & Fitness

In the realms of fashion, automobiles and investment strategies, the modern ideal is an ever-changing proposition. So it is with body types. Without a doubt, the ideal body image for the new, twenty-first-century, metrosexual man is natural, lean and trim. The pumped-up, steroid injecting muscleman is out, and a healthier, slim physique is now in.

Art and Culture
