Bbody Mass Index
Body Composition | By. Cornelle Winfield | | |
Body mass index or (BMI) is a key index that relates a person's body weight to their height. The body mass index is a person's weight in kilograms divided by their height in meters squared. The National Institute of Health uses the body mass index to define normal weight, overweight and obesity. Overweight is considered is a person having a body mass index of 27.3% or more for women and 27.8 % or more for men. Obesity using the BMI index is defined as a BMI of 30 and above, which is about 30 pounds overweight. I’m lucky enough not to have that problem. I am six feet and four inches tall, and I weigh about one hundred and eighty-five pounds. So after calculating my measurements I got my BMI, and it is 23. According to the national institute of health my BMI is a normal and healthy one. And since I fall under a healthy range I will have reduced risks for weight-related illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and stroke. I also got my waist circumference. To measure your waist circumference, use a tape measure. Start at the top of the hip bone, and then bring it all the way around. Make sure it's not too tight and that it is parallel with the floor. And be sure to not hold your breath while measuring it. My waist circumference is 34, and that is considered a low disease risk. These are very good measurements for me and that’s because they all indicate a healthy weight ratio. Now that I have all my measurements I can get my target body weight. My target body weight is one hundred and ninety-eight pounds. That perfect for me, because I play football, and I wanted to get around two hundred pound, and as it turns out that weight range is a healthy one for me.
After going over my measurements and calculations I like to say that I feel really good about my body composition. My target body weight is the perfect number for me, because it is the weight I desire. I also don’t have a lot of body fat, so
