2) Use your height to your advantage and strengthen your core

Big Potato may be vertically-challenged, but that also gives him plenty of opportunities to get a core workout when he climbs up to on a wall trying and watch a live game with his pals.

3) Relax on the beach

One sure way to get thin is to lose the water weight!

You could go spend a nice time drying out under the sun with Big Potato. He got skinny real fast with this trick! We recommend this method as a last resort, since it's important to stay hydrated. Plus the sun's UV rays are bad for you, so bring some sunblock!

4) Shake off the flab!

Big Potato learns that using a shaking machine really does jiggle the fat away! Those 1950's vibrating belt machines may be making a comeback soon as researchers discover they could be good for your health. Considering strapping one on adding a few minutes of shaking to your fitness regiment per day.

B. Beat the Competition

Getting fit doesn't happen overnight. In the meantime, Big Potato will show you some tricks that he uses when he faces an athletic challenge.

1) Use your head (and your hair)

Potato's arms may be short, but that doesn't mean he can't balance upside-down! The hairs of his head are surprisingly strong, and the top of his head makes a great flat platform.

2) Get Pumped Up!

Don't have a 6-pack yet, but you still need to show off your guns? Easy, an inflatable suit will do the trick.

3) Crush those Weights

Not only is Big Potato's hair made of steel, apparently so are his teeth. His teeth already have a good fitness routine with all the eating he does. Now he can show off their strength in the weight room.
