To find out if you are out of shape,
1. Use a calculator to calculate Body Mass Index @ BMI.
BMI = weight (kg) /height(m) x height(m)
metric conversion: weight in pound/2.2 = weight in kg
weight in inch x 2.54= height in cm
If your BMI is over 23 (overweight), ask your healthcare professional for a safe and effective
way to lose weight and keep in shape.
BMI > 40 : very obese
27.5-40: obese
23-27.5: overweight
18.5-23:healthy
<18.5:underweight
2. Waist/hip ratio: Men should not more than 1. Women;not more than 0.85
Therefore, please make sure your waist/hip ratio is within healthy level.
