I actually work out more since having kids

Not at all – my health is one of my top priorities

I work out less, only when I can steal some time

I still work out, but arrange it around the kids’ schedules

Kids make it impossible to work out

Never had one to begin with

Overweight Men May Face Fertility Problems

 

Men who are overweight may face fertility problems... according to a new report. Researchers from the University of Aberdeen studied sperm samples from five thousand men who were categorized based on their weight. They found men who were normal weight, had significantly higher levels of healthy sperm, compared to men who were obese. Researchers say an increase in fat tissue influences sex hormones -- and the accumulation of fat could negatively impact the temperature in the sperm's environment. Researchers also found men who were underweight had the same problems as those who were obese.
