Post What is a quick way to estimate a healthy weight?
Hello Friends....

Healthy Weight For Women

* Allow 105 pounds for 5 feet.
* If you are taller, add an extra 5 pounds per inch.
* If you are shorter, subtract 5 pounds per inch.
* The healthy weight range will be about 10 per cent either side of the final figure.

Healthy Weight for Men

* Allow 110 pounds for 5 feet.
* If you are taller, add an extra 6 pounds per inch.
* If you are shorter, subtract 6 pounds per inch.
* The acceptable weight range will be 10 per cent either side of the final figure.

Thanks

Hi
A lot of us get really hung up on that number on the scale. But weight doesn’t tell you much about your health and fitness status, or even how you look! A crucial part of determining how much you should weigh has to do with what makes up that weight. For example, is your weight made up of a healthy ratio of muscle, bone, and fat? Knowing this can help you interpret your scale reading.

A lower body weight is not necessarily the goal to improve your health or enhance your appearance. Have you ever heard it said that muscle weighs more than fat? What that means is that muscle is more dense than fat. A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat, but muscle mass is more compact and only takes up 1/3 the space! If you go on a healthy weight loss program, which includes regular exercise, you will almost certainly gain muscle and lose fat. The scale may stay the same or may even go up, but you lose inches, since muscle takes up less space.

Thanks

Hi
Quick Weight Estimate - Women

- Allow 100 pounds for 5 feet.
- Add 5 pounds per inch over 5 feet, OR deduct 5 pounds per inch under 5 feet.
- To find your healthy weight range add and deduct 10 percent.

thanks
