How To Figure Out If You're Fat
By Calculating Your BMI ( Your Body Mass Index)
Once you've calculated your BMI you can decide if you need to lose weight or gain some.
- First measure your weight - W eg. 180
- Then your height in inches - H eg. 70
- Multiply your height by itself (HXH) - eg. 70x70 = 4900
- Divide your weight by this number (#3) - eg.
W / HXH = 180/4900 = 0.367... - Multiply #4 by 703 = eg. 0.367 x 703 = 25.824
- RESULTS: Below 18.5 is UNDERWEIGHT
- Between 18.5 to 24.9 is HEALTHY WEIGHT
- From 25 to 29.9 is OVERWEIGHT
- Anything above 30 is OBESE
So now you know accurately if you're overweight, or not, and how much you need to gain or lose to reach your optimum weight for your height. No more guesswork! Once you have an idea of how much to lose it makes it easier to reach your goal because you can focus your efforts to hone right in to reach that SPECIFIC TARGET.
