Height, Weight, & Age Tables

Divide your actual weight by your ideal poundage.

- If the result is below 1.00, you are under the ideal poundage.
- If the result is between 1.00 and 1.10, your poundage is ideal.
- If the result is between 1.11 and 1.20, you are overweight.
- If the result is between 1.21 and 1.30, you are obese.

And there you have it! (Age doesn't play a large factor in ideal poundage, it's 90% height.)

BMI is an acronym that stands for Body Mass Index. These days, far too much emphasis is put into the importance of just simply how much you weigh." The amount you weigh isn't important when it comes to health, your BMI (body fat) is what really counts. Muscle weighs much more than fat. Most exercises (running, swimming, cycling, etc.) build a lot of muscle, so you wont see your weight lower too much after continual practice of these activity's. Knowing your BMI is important, high BMI will almost always lead to heart problems, asthma, pneumonia, or other medical complications. Especially if you have a history of any of these illnesses in your family.

So how do you calculate your BMI?

Calculating your BMI won't be accurate with height/weight/age tables or a formula. You need to use the scale at your doctors office or purchase a BMI scale.
