bmi only really works for people that don't do any deicated exercise that is why it ranges from 18!.5 to 24!.9 as healthy IMO health is obvious i don't need a bmi or % to tell me if im fat or not a mirror can do that jobWww@Answer-Health@Com
BMI is flawed - it doesn't take into account muscle (which weighs more than fat by volume) and your frame!. I would go with fat percentage!. I work out 6 days a week and consider myself very healthy, but my BMI says I'm overweight due to the muscle on my frame so I ignore it and try and get my % fat down instead!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Always go by body fat percentage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
