"You've put on some weight, Laura.
I think you're getting fat!" How many times have we heard this and agreed with the statement above? Did you know that putting on weight does not necessarily mean that the person in question is getting fat? You can tell if you are overweight or not by calculating your Body Mass Index.
This ideal body weight formula helps determine if you are overweight simply by dividing your weight with your height in meters squared.
Check your results.
If you achieved a BMI result of 18.
5 or lower, then you are underweight and need to pack on some pounds if you don't want to look like a skeleton.
If your BMI is between 18.
5 to 24.
9, then your body weight is ideal and you just need to keep up the good work.
Bad news though, for people with BMI between 25 to 29 as they are deemed overweight and will need to hit the gym for some serious fat burning.
If hitting the gym is not your cup of tea, you may want to opt for several belly dancing sessions.
Youngsters would perhaps prefer other dance classes such as hip hop and capoeira, but either way, these lessons are rather vigorous ones and would help in crafting slimmer waist lines and legs minus the chunky rolls of fat.
You may also want to start taking the stairs instead of using the elevators.
This will help you tone your muscles and shed away the bulk of your fats.
When seeking the ideal body weight formula, you need to try out a few techniques before combining the best methods and see what works best for you.
