Here's how to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR), and Target Heart Rate (THR):
1. Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight.
Formula: BMI = weight (kg) / [height (m)]2
or
BMI = weight (lb) / [height (in)]2 x 703
Steps:
- Measure your weight in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb).
- Measure your height in meters (m) or inches (in).
- Apply the appropriate formula above.
Example (Metric):
Weight = 70 kg, Height = 1.75 m
BMI = 70 / (1.75)2 = 70 / 3.0625 = 22.86
Example (Imperial):
Weight = 155 lbs, Height = 69 inches
BMI = (155 / (69)2) x 703 = (155 / 4761) x 703 = 22.88
BMI Categories: Source
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI 18.5 to 24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25 to 29.9
- Obese: BMI 30 or greater
2. Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR)
WHR is the ratio of your waist circumference to your hip circumference. It is used as an indicator of health risk.
Formula: WHR = Waist Circumference / Hip Circumference
Steps:
- Measure your waist circumference at the smallest point of your waist, usually just above the navel.
- Measure your hip circumference at the widest part of your hips.
- Divide the waist measurement by the hip measurement.
Example:
Waist = 30 inches, Hips = 38 inches
WHR = 30 / 38 = 0.79
WHR Categories: Source
- Men:
- Excellent: < 0.85
- Good: 0.85 - 0.90
- Average: 0.90 - 0.95
- At Risk: > 0.95
- Women:
- Excellent: < 0.75
- Good: 0.75 - 0.80
- Average: 0.80 - 0.85
- At Risk: > 0.85
3. Target Heart Rate (THR)
THR is a range of heart rates that you should aim for during exercise to get the most benefit.
Formulas:
-
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR): MHR = 220 - Age
-
Target Heart Rate Range:
- Lower end: MHR x 0.5
- Upper end: MHR x 0.85
Steps:
- Calculate your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) by subtracting your age from 220.
- Calculate the lower end of your THR range by multiplying your MHR by 0.5 (50%).
- Calculate the upper end of your THR range by multiplying your MHR by 0.85 (85%).
Example:
Age = 30
MHR = 220 - 30 = 190
Lower end of THR = 190 x 0.5 = 95
Upper end of THR = 190 x 0.85 = 161.5
THR Range: 95 - 162 beats per minute (approximately)
Note: These calculations are estimates. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
Here are two benefits of exercise:
-
Improved Mood:
Exercise can stimulate the release of endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and mood elevators. Regular physical activity can help reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression.
-
Weight Management:
Exercise helps burn calories, which is crucial for maintaining or losing weight. It also increases muscle mass, which boosts metabolism and helps the body burn more calories even when at rest. Consistent physical activity, combined with a balanced diet, can lead to effective weight management.
