Before you begin to bring the body into ideal shape, you need to decide the question - what weight will be the norm. There are several conditional formulas for determining the normal body weight.
Instructions
Step 1
Use Broca's formula to determine your ideal weight. If the height is less than 155 cm, subtract 95 from its value, if the height fluctuates between 150 cm and 165 cm - subtract 100, with a height of 165 - 175 cm - you need to subtract 105, and if you are above 175 cm, subtract 110.
Step 2
Determine your body mass index (BMI) or Quetelet index. To do this, divide the weight in kilograms by the height squared in meters. For example, height 1, 8 m and weight 85 kg. Square the height in meters 1, 8 * 1, 8 = 3, 24, divide 85/3, 24 = 26, 2. Normally, BMI takes a value from 19, 5 to 24, 9. A parameter below 19, 5 indicates excessive thinness. Overweight - BMI between 25 and 27, 9. A reading above 28 indicates obesity.
Step 3
Find out your ideal weight limits. To do this, multiply the height squared by 19, 5 and 24, 9. For example, with a height of 1. 8 m, the lower limit is a weight of 63 kg, the upper limit is about 80 kg. Find out your body type by the girth of your wrist. With asthenic (thin-boned) type, wrist girth is less than 16 cm, with normosthenic (normostenic) - wrist girth from 16.5 cm to 18 cm, with hypersthenic (large-boned) type - more than 18 cm. In thin people, the ideal weight is close to the lower limit, in broad-boned ones - to the top.
Step 4
Measure your waist and hips. For a woman, the waist should not exceed 80 cm, for men - 94 cm. Calculate the ratio of the waist circumference to the hip circumference. In women, this ratio should normally be no more than 0.85, in men up to 1.
Step 5
Calculate the ideal weight using the Breitman index. Multiply the height in centimeters by a factor of 0.7. And subtract 50 from the result.
Step 6
Measure the circumference of your chest. Use Borngard's formula - multiply height in centimeters by the circumference of the chest in centimeters and divide the result by 240.
Step 7
Determine your normal weight using Negler's formula. For every 152.4 cm of height, 45 kg of weight is needed. For every 2.45 cm over 152.4 cm, another 0.9 kg is needed. That is, subtract 152.4 cm from your height in centimeters. Divide the result by 2.45, and then multiply by 0.9. Add 45 cm to this number. And then add another 10% of the result to this weight.
