Body Mass Index - Do you know yours?

BMI is a load of rubbish. In this country people are going too far with it even suggesting that perfectly healthy children are over weight.

Anyway, mine is now 23.0 but a few years back it was 18.0

Hubba hubba. Partaking in a bit of "leg rubbing" (ala Vic 'N' Bob).

BMI is a joke! It doesn’t take muscle into consideration, which is heavier than fat. I’m apparently overweight according that that useless indictor because I’m about 179cm and 80kg, yet I don’t have much fat on me at all. Skin folds is a better measurement. Or even body fat percentage. The latter two they use in professional sports to measure athlete’s weight and body compositions. They do not use the BMI.
