Time For Some Soul Fitness---LAUGH!



The phone rang at
the motor pool and an authoritative voice demanded to know how
many vehicles
were operational. Paddy answered, ''We've got twelve trucks, ten
utilities,
three staff cars and that Bentley the fat-arsed colonel swanks around
in.''
There was a stony silence for a second or two.
''Do you know who you are
speaking to?''

''No,'' said Paddy.

''It is the so-called
fat-arsed colonel you so insubordinately referred to.''

''Well, do you
know who you are talking to?''

''No,'' roared the colonel.


''Well thank goodness for that,'' said Paddy as he hung up the
phone.






Are you obese? Alot of people wonder because the sterotypes in the media
really get people thinking about thier appearance and if they are fat these
days.


The general definition of obesity is if you are 30 percent over your ideal
wieght. This is where most people would like to know just what thier ideal
weight is!:-)


Your ideal weight is a subject of much hoopla to me (I'll put my view points
on this after). Most doctors involved with obesity or weight loss deem ideal bodyweight
as " A body mass index (BMI) of 25 up to 30 kg/m2."

The centers for
disease control and prevention list the following details for BMI and where your
stand:


  • Below 18.5 Underweight
  • 18.5 - 24.9 Normal
  • 25.0-29.9 Overweight
  • 30.0 and Above Obese


    So in order to know if you are obese you should supposily know if your your
    BMI is around 25 to 30 kg/m2. Lets figure out BMI then: ( if you would like an
    automatic BMI calculator to see if your obese the Obesity Control and
    Prevention


    Here is how you figure out your BMI by math:
    BMI = (YOUR WEIGHT IN POUNDS
    divided by (HIEGHT IN INCHES X HIEGHT IN INCHES)) all mutiplied by 703


    GOT IT DONE? GOOD! So where did you end up? Are you
    obese?

    Okay, lets break for a second. Take a breath and let me tell you
    the low down.

    My Resluts From Begin At The Gym I'm a personal
    trainer, here is my picture as I am now. I'm 5'9'' and 182 pounds. I'm usually
    around 10-14% bodyfat. AND I HAVE A BMI OF 26.9! GUESS I MUST BE
    OVERWEIGHT
    and close to obese!!


    So whats the deal then? Well like I said earlier, I have a little beef with
    BMI and obesity as most people would quantify it. I think being overweight or
    obese should be guaged by your bodyfat percentage. WHY?

    Well normal BMI
    readings are taking into account your whole body, bones, muscle, and fat. So
    even if you have barely any fat and can see your abs they think you are obese,
    just like me.


    Now Body
    Fat percentage
    tests are a differant story. The only thing looked at here is
    how much fat and muscle you have by percentages of your overall bodywieght.
    Obesity this way states that above 25% bodyfat for men is obese and above 32%
    bodyfat is obese for women.


    Cool! This way, we are not looking so bad now!
