PERFECT PROPORTIONS
Are you well-proportioned? Try on yourself these simple tests used by artists. For instance, you should be able to span your thigh with- your your two hands. Your height should be about seven and half times the measurement of your head from crown to chin; eight times is considered ideal, but is rare; Thus, with a nine-inch head your height should be five, feet six inches or five feet seven inches.
Here are some more height tests. When your arms hang by your sides the elbows should be level with the waist and the finger tips reach to about the middle of the thigh. The span of your outstretched arms from middle finger tip to middle finger tip, should exactly equal your height. And if you don’t pass these tests, then exercise regularly till you do!
