What to measure at the gym

Key indicators of the gym body test:

1, BMI:

BMI, also known as the body mass index, weight/height squared (kg/m2) to get the results, which combines height, weight, to determine the degree of fat and thin we are the basis of the standard. As long as you know your height and weight, scan the BMI calculator to calculate.

Normal BMI: Taking Weight Loss Jun as an example, with a height of 167cm and a weight of 56kg, the BMI is about 20.1, which belongs to the normal range.

Obese BMI: Take the starting point of the second level of obesity 32.5 as an example, the same height of 167cm, weighing about 181 pounds.

2, waist-hip ratio:

As the name suggests, waist-hip ratio is the waist/hip circumference to get the number, healthy men generally waist-hip ratio <0.9, women <0.8 .

Waist measurement: the soft ruler navel as the center of a circle, that is, waist circumference.

Hip circumference measurement: the soft ruler around the hip week, up and down a little movement, to find the largest value, that is, hip circumference.

The waist-to-hip ratio is a reflection of the accumulation of abdominal fat, which is related to the amount of visceral fat. If the waist-to-hip ratio exceeds the limit, there is a serious risk that you should pay attention to strengthening your abdominal area during regular exercise.

3, body fat rate:

Body fat rate is the key to affect the body fat, obesity is mainly to see the body fat rate, we lose weight is also to lose fat, reduce the body fat rate. Body fat rate = fat weight / weight, under normal circumstances, a healthy level of men between 14 to 24%, women between 21 to 31%.

4, basal metabolic rate:

Basal Metabolic Rate (Basal Metabolic Rate, also abbreviated as BMR) refers to the number of calories a person needs to consume to maintain the minimum number of calories needed for life in a stationary state. In short, it's the number of calories you burn every day lying down and doing nothing.

Male: BMR = 10 * weight (KG) + 6.25 * height (CM) - 5 * age + 5

Female: BMR = 10 * weight (KG) + 6.25 * height (CM) - 5 * age - 161

5, lean body mass

Lean body mass refers to your body's muscle mass. The more muscle mass you have, the higher your basal metabolic rate. People of the same weight with more muscle burn more energy without having to move than those with less muscle, which is why everyone wants to build muscle.
