Health And Fitness For Life

There is a collective way of thinking when it comes to weight in America.  Some normal people are viewed as fat and are put into a category that don”t  fit them.  The average American women is 5′4″tall and weighs 150 lbs. with a BMI (measure of weight adjusted for height) of 26.3 and considered to be overweight.  However, sometimes data do not give us an accurate view and distort a picture of reality.  There are people who weight train, run or walk everyday and use a heart monitor watch to record all pertinent information concerning their exercise routine that  can also be listed as fat.  People who have BMI of over 30 can be considered as overweight, a BMI over 45 are thought of as obese and not fit. The BMI information is a tool that can be used as a wake up call however, some people who fall in that BMI category can be health and fit.  Some professional football player according to the BMI would be consider obese; some of the most fit quarterbacks could be put into the overweight category also.

We must accept the fact that know-one can not be heavy and fit while consuming foods that are going to produce body fat.  Also to think being fat is health, is not the appropriate way of thinking in order to solve a overweight problem.  There are very few successful methods of helping people to lose weight.  In stead of looking at a negative view of people who are overweight, let’s look at something people can do to help themselves.  Focus on eating a health diet and being more involve in a physical activity.  Exercise at home, in a gym or out doors and purchase a strapless heart rate monitor to help keep your workout session safe.  To be happier, more healthier and weigh less we need to think less on dieting, unfair data and obsessing with thinness.
