Questions: Health & Fitness

Many people ask about whether they have or not the right BMI, but they don't know there is also an alternative.

To know if you have a healthy weight there are 3 formulas:

For females is (height in centimeters minus 45) divided in two.

For males under 170 cm (height in centimeters minus 40) divided in two.

For males 170 and above (height in centimeters minus 35) divided in two.

For example:

My height in cm is 174.

175-45=129
129/2=64.5

64.5 kg would be my ideal weight.

If you are 5 kg above or 5 kg below the ideal weight, don't worry, you're still inside the healthy range.

Continuing with my example, my weight can be between 59.5 kg and 69.5 kg. My current weight is 60 kg, so I'm still inside the range.



What about you, are you in the ideal range?

So today at the gym, I was called over by a guy at the gym and we talked quite a lot. At one point I tell him we can talk more often and he looks at me and says: "If you wouldn't be always wearing headphones." Is it really a thing, that headphones are a conversation block? I personally only listen to music because I don't like the music at the gym as much.
