|  | The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure that uses height and weight to indicate total body fat and gauge health risks due to carrying too much weight. The BMI is only one factor in determining a person’s health risk. A BMI in the "healthy" range does not necessarily mean that you are fit and healthy. BMI does not take into account lean body mass or body frame. A muscular, large-framed person’s BMI could falsely indicate that person is overweight.

Let’s start doing something about it. Check out, Finding Time For Fitness: Part 1 to start changing your fitness profile today!
