Body Mass Program:
Body Mass Index (BMI) - Is a scientific measure that uses a ratio of height and weight. It is a general measure of health risk, but does not take into account lean body mass. As a result, a healthy muscular individual with very low body fat can be classified as over weight. The following are general ranges of BMI measurements:
Below 20 | Lean - if you are not an athlete you should consider gaining weight | |
through good diet and exercise. | ||
| ||
|
| |
Between 21 and 24 | Ideal - indicates a healthy amount of body fat and the lowest inci- | |
dence of serious illness. | ||
| ||
|
| |
Between 25 and 29 | Slightly Overweight - increased risk for a variety of illnesses. You | |
should find ways to reduce your weight through diet and exercise. | ||
| ||
|
| |
| Overweight - indicates an unhealthy condition with a higher risk of | |
Over 30 | heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, gall bladder disease and | |
some cancers. You should focus on losing weight by changing your | ||
| ||
| diet and increasing levels of exercise. | |
