What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?
Do you know your BMI? Your Body Mass Index is a number that helps determine if you are at risk for weight-related diseases. While it is not a perfect measure, it is a helpful tool. BMI values from 18.5 to 24.9 are considered healthy. BMI values from 25-29.9 are considered overweight, and BMI values of 30 or greater are considered obese.
Calculate your BMI: 1) Multiply your weight in pounds by 703. 2) Divide by your height in inches. 3) Divide by your height in inches again.
So, what should you do with the BMI? Truthfully, just place it in the trash! Just start exercising and eat better. Most people analyze every number when really they should just start doing. Plus, if I were to keep record of my stats, it would be the body fat reading and weight.
Key: focus on lean proteins, organic fruits,veggies and greens plus lots of water. Perform 3-5 intensive workouts per week into your schedule and you should see a difference in your energy and appearance.
