FIT Calculator: BMI

Ever heard of BMI?  No not the music organization.  BMI stands for Body Mass Index and it is a simple measurement of body fat based on height and weight.  If your not sure what yours is, use this handy BMI calculator.

 

Basically it’s a quick way to check in on your health and body in terms of weight.  Just want to remind you that a healthy attitude about your body is just as important as physical fitness.  I don't want to cause any unhealthy anxiety about having the perfect body.  This is simply a tool.

I also want to let you know that there are limitations to the index.  It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build since muscle weighs more than fat.  Plus, it can underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle mass.

An extensive questionnaire generated responses from more than 200 U.S. Herbalife Independent Distributors about their weight-loss programs and results. They reported weight loss ranging from 4 pounds to 167 pounds and a reduced body mass index (BMI) of 1.5 points to 24.1 points, suggesting that consumption of Herbalife® products is associated with weight loss and improvement in BMI in those ranges.
