estimating amount of fat on your body?

[Guest guest]

In the past I have read of some things that can tell you how much of your body

weight is fat. Unfortunately, due to early dementia, alzheimers or just plain

senility I forgot how to do it. I need your help in figuring it out. Do you use

some kind of calipers? float in a tank of water? or what? How do they figure it

out?

I hope some one here knows, and is willing to spread the news back.still

thinking, but need more information, Harry

BMI is the body mass index, which is supposedly a single measure of how near

you are to your ideal weight. I remember a simple formula to get the BMI.

Multiply your weight in pounds by 409, a constant, then divide the answer by

your height in inches. Now you divide that answer by your height in inches once

again.If you have a BMI of 25.0 you have achieved your ideal weight. If it is

under 25.0, then you are below your ideal weight. If you are over 25.0, then

you are overweight. If you are 30.0, then you are definitely fat.You definitely

need to loose weight. If you are 35.0 or higher, then you are morbidly obese,

and you are in need of a serious weight reduction program, since you are now a

candidate for serious obesity complications like heart trouble and such what

ever those complications may be. Your living existence is seriously in question,

so take the numbers seriously, and get on the ball to get to 25.0 or as near to

it as you can. I believe the formula works for both males and females, but I am

not for sure. You could always check out your BMI on the internet using a BMI

calculator located there.If you find a link to it let us know.

I got a note from a guy named Greg in the Blind Weight Watchers group and he

said my BMI was 29. I am not sure how bad that is.

I guess I better do something before it gets to be too late.

Well ,

You are still in the overweight category, but only 1 point away from the fat

category. That is only 3 or 4 pounds.

I found the above web site useful in calculating my BMI. Not only does it

calculate your BMI, but it gives your percentile related to others your

height and age.

I think I'd do exercises and then the swim.

But I don't have a pool.

Krunches is the way to go

it's what I do every morning after my swim

I have a crunch bench, where I lay almost upside down on my back and my feet are

underneath a bar, so I force myself up.

oh the soarness I feel the next day, it even hurts to walk, ouchie, but a good

hurt you know?

anyways tryy laying flat on your back and only go as far as you can up with your

head and chin up hands behind your head and just do small reps at a time, at the

end you will feel it.

I used to be able to do sit-ups on our bed. But I have been sleeping and

sitting in this rocking and reclining chair a year now ever since we had to

get the hospital bed in here for . Last week I put a sheet on the

floor in our hallway and laid on it, and by golly I could not bring myself

up with my hands behind my head. My back hurt like the devil and I could

not come up by myself. I put my arms forward and barely could make it up

and touch my knee with the opposite elbow. In high school and college it

was no problem to get up to a sitting position from being on my back.

what if while you sit on the chair, you try to do leg lifts?

this works the bottom part of your tummy, or for some we call " muffin "

it's hard but even a little helps.

sorry you are struglling with that.

yes, you sure can, just sit there and lift both legs up as high as you can go

and hold your tummy in while doing it, remembering to breathe and it sure does

help

No, don't bend your knees,

if you have arms to your chair it would work best.

hold on to the arms and lift both legs up as high as you can and do this for

several reps

do them daily or whenever you get a chance, it builds strenghth on your legs,

and at the same time it is helping the lower Ab muscles work.

good luck

yep, it is best if you have arms on the chair, so you can support yourself,

other wise it is going to be hard.

sit up straight, don't slump and lift as high as you could.

you will feel the burn

Is it straight out or upward?
