Determine your body fitness = calculating your BMI "In my opinion"
so what is BMI ?
Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used to indicate if you are overweight, obese, underweight or normal. It will, however, overestimate fatness in people who are muscular or atheletic. Because of these problems, this body mass index calculator shows extra statistics to help you be informed and judge your own body compared to others of the same height and age.
How can i determine My BMI ?
you can determine it with easy step with bmi calculator sites like this one >;>;>; body mass index
My BMI is ..... what about it ?
Women tend to believe they look their best at values between 20 to 22 and men are usually satisfied with a BMI of 23 to 25. If your BMI is between 17 to 22, your life expectancy is longer than average. You don't need to lose weight.
If your BMI is between 23 and 25, you are not considered overweight by most people. But if your BMI is 26 or more, that's not good. But you knew that already.
what about BMI world statics ?

I would really advise against paying any attention to BMI, it is not an accurate representation. It takes no account of somatotype (basic body shape), bone density or composition of the body. As such most bodybuilder, american football players, rugby players will be classified as clinically obese, when they are obviously in good shape.
agreed with u but i think that is an approximation and funny way to see ur status not more
