Answers:
the percentage of body fat you haveWww@Answer-Health@Com

Based on a height/weight ratio, its a arbitrary rating of your "fatness"!. Mine is 26!.4, indicating that I am over weight!. I'm 6', 195 lbs!. I play full court basketball 3 hours a week, jog and lift weights 2 hours a week!. I have 12% body fat, which classifies me as an athlete!. So according to BMI, I'm a fat athlete!. I'm not saying it's totally irrelevant, just that there are other, equally important factors to consider!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your body mass index is a ratio of your body wieght to the size of your body frame!.!. a simple way to tell is to wrap your index and thumb around your wrist bone!. if your finger and thumb over lap you have a small frame if they just touch you have a medium one and if they dont you have a large frame!. and your BMI is a relation to your frame and the amount of fat on you body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's a very broad tool used to calculate how much weight you should be in proportion to your height!. The idea is to be in the middle of 15-25, outside of that you are either dangerously underweight, or overweight, and 30+ is obese!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Since I started to work out I was looking for a good weight loss product (I only wanted something 100% natural)!. I was on a diet but I felt that I needed a little "help" so I decided to try this great detoxification colon cleanse and I had fantastic results!. You can check their website at

BMI is basically your weight in kilograms divided by your height in metres squared!. It is not a direct measure of your body fat percentage!. That means if you have a BMI of 22, that doesn't mean your body fat percentage is 22%!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the first link below shows what BMI is ,and the second link you can get your own BMIWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your body mass index!.
It's just another number, like weight, people fret over, though fairly accurate determining a healthy weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Body Mass Index!.
the number, derived by using height and weight measurements, that gives a general indication if weight falls within a healthy range!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its supposed to tell you if your the correct weight for your height!.!.!.

It is not very accurate i would use a body fat test instead you can get the test done in some gyms and schools!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
