important, and sometimes a wake up call for some people. If it helps one person, then good post.

Note: before people point this out. BMI won't apply to you if you are a bodybuilder type person.

| Doesn't really apply to any athletic person at all. They are all about the money (Diet books, insurance tables, etc.). This takes nothing into account about lifestyle at all. I would stick to a BF% scale or a caliper test for now as a measure of health, from the outside. Otherwise get blood and stress tests if your concerned about the inside. | |

| yeah, im 6'4" and my BMI is 34. im definitly not obese. I am overweight (which i am working on), but i have a sick dense body structure. To be a 25 bmi which is the highest in the "healthy" range, i would have to weigh 205 lbs. When i was a senior in H.S., i weighed 225 and was ripped (like 6% body fat. I too, would look like a cancer patient. | |
