"Body Mass Index" ("BMI") is a measure based strictly on height and weight. On our website you can imput your heright and weight and get your BMI. A BMI below 25 is normal, 25-30 is overweight and above 30, obese.
I do not like this parameter as a measure of weight issues because this does not take into account muscle mass. For example, an NFL running back, 5 feet 10 inches , 220 pounds will have the same BMI as a 53 year old doctor 5 feet 10 inches 220 pounds. Obviously, the former example is a sculpted athlete who would not be seen as "overweight" and the latter an obiously obese man. (Hey...I am NOT that example)
Our new Inbody device definitely provides much more detailed information about muscle mass, fat composition etc and is a better tool to provide valuable information. If you are not currently in the program, stop by for a free evaluation with the Inbody device
