To determine if you are a healthy weight and if you need to need to lose any. Calculate your Body Mass Index (B.M.I.)
BMI = mass / (height) x (height)
BMI = m / s x s
m = mass in Kg
s = height in m
For less the less technical, measure your mass in kilograms and your height in metres. Multiply your height by itself, (square it) then divide your mass by your height squared.
If you are still struggling, you can use a BMI calculator which does the maths for you.
Use the table below to interpret the figures
Body Mass Index
less than 18.5 - underweight
18.5 to 25 - healthy
25 to 30 - overweight
greater than 30 - OBESE
greater than 40 - MORBIDLY OBESE
If your BMI is between 18.5 - 25, you are a healthy weight.
If your BMI is greater than 30, you are obese. LOSE WEIGHT NOW
To lose weight you need to eat less and move more.
This usually involves following a sensible diet and an exercise plan.
If you want to lose weight, the most effective way to exercise is to train aerobically.
Examples of aerobic exercise include brisk walking, cycling, jogging, golf (carry your clubs) swimming and many others
A good indicator of whether any exercise you are taking is aerobic or not is the talk test. If you find it difficult to talk, you are probably working too hard. For aerobic exercise, you should be able to speak a few sentences, take a few breaths, then speak a few more sentences. If you can talk continually while exercising, you are not training hard enough.
