I’m so glad you shared your example, because that’s exactly what it is all about!

I have heard so many people falling for this trap, and a person that is perfectly healthy and in great shape, all of a sudden thinks she is overweight (according to BMI).

BMI shouldn’t be used as a measurement method, period! Spread the word about this!

For your record, 15% body fat for a female is in the range of athletic standard, so I wouldn’t worry if I were you ;)

Thanks for sharing,
Jonas

A friend of mine is an exercise physiologist and gave me a BMI exemption a few months ago. BMI put me at 24...but my body fat was 15% (female). If I'd just looked at BMI I was on the verge of being overweight and would benefit from losing a few pounds. Going by calipers I really didn't need to lose anything at all unless I fancied a career in figure competitions! Thanks for this!

With tape measurements and scales used altogether, you’ll get accurate and good results!

Keep it up!

Because I learned something. BMI is out and tape measurements and scales are in..thank goodness! I thought I was doomed! I really liked this article Jonas. Because I learned something.
