Moving.Realize Your True Potential

By Joel A. Cummings

Correct!BMI, is a way of calculating weather or not you are over weight for your height. There are two ways of calculating BMI, as shown below.

Metric System FormulaBMI = weight in kilograms / height in meters squaredIf you only know your height in centimeters, then simply divide your height by 100 to determine your height in meters. For example, if you are 170cm tall, then divide 170 by 100, which equals 1.7m. As an example, using this formula, if you weigh 75 kg and are 1.7 m tall, your BMI is 75 / 1.7², which equals 26.0 when rounded to the nearest tenth.Standard System FormulaBMI = (weight in pounds / height in inches squared) x 703For example, if you weigh 175 lb. and are 5 feet, 6 inches, or 66 inches, tall your BMI equals (175 / 66²) x 703, or 28.2 when rounded to the nearest tenth.

Moving.Realize Your True Potential

By Joel A. Cummings

Correct!More exercise means Increasing cardiovascular activity, which will help to reduce atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries; which can lead to a stroke, angina or heart attack) as well as lowering your heart rate. Exercise will also raise your blood pressure for a short time, however when you stop, your BP should go back to normal. The quicker it does, the fitter you are, and with more exercise the time it takes to go back to normal will decrease.

Exercise helps to metabolize hormones and causes the release of neurotransmitters which alleviate pain, both physical and mental.

Moving.Realize Your True Potential

By Joel A. Cummings

Correct!Many activities can be done by yourself, and require neither technical expertise nor much in the way of equipment or expense - just your willingness to give it a go.

Walking is the simplest and cheapest of all exercises, and making it a regular activity and focusing on the intensity or distance covered can greatly increase your fitness. Walking improves the condition of your heart and lungs (cardiovascular fitness) and works the muscles of the lower body. It's a weight-bearing activity, so it may improve bone density, yet it's also low impact, putting less stress on the joints than some other forms of exercise.

Moving.Realize Your True Potential

By Joel A. Cummings

Correct!Correct!• Adults should do a minimum of 30 minutes moderate-intensity physical

activity, five days a week. They don't have to do the whole 30 minutes in one go. Your 30 minutes could be made up of three 10 minute bursts of activity spread through the day, if they prefer - it's the total that matters.

• People who are at specific risk from obesity, or who need to manage their weight because of a medical condition, need 45-60 minutes of exercise at least five times a week. For example, if you have diabetes, it will be much better controlled if you exercise like this.
