Obesity and Your BMI

Tuesday, 08 January 2013
Team Physio

The Body Mass Index is a handy little formula taking into account your height and weight in order to rank you for determining obesity. It's not perfect because if you're an athlete carrying extra muscle mass then you may find yourself in the obesity range but in fact you're just heavier because of all that extra muscle.

The BBC offers a handy calculation tool to check your BMI and compare you to the averages in your own country.

Calculate your BMI now here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18770328

If you're higher than you should be and want to get started on a low impact exercise routine then consider joining one of our Pilates programmes, more details - https://www.mmphysiopilates.com/

Or, simply squeezing in a 30min walk each day could do you wonders.
