Complete your fitness assessment at Home Nearly everywhere, you know where and when it comes to weight loss, which means that you have a basis for assessing eligibility. This may be sad for most people, because the results confirm what they are to be avoided: they are overweight, unfit, and a high risk of heart disease! But look at these people all wrong. Do not be depressed, it is focused! This could be one of the biggest tuing point in your life. You can be fitter, you can remove the fat, and you can reduce the risk of heart disease. It does not take much work. Only the commitment! Ok. Let's get in fitness evaluation. Need a pen and paper to write your measurements and a cloth tape measure (like sewing). Remember that you should be results, in order to protect itself from every 6-8 weeks. Level of the process: * Take shoes and socks. * Stand against the wall with your feet together. * Pull your shoulders back and look straight ahead. * Put a book in the head (make sure it touches the wall and at the same height). * Measure from the bottom of the book to the floor. This is the weight one hates everyone. Too much emphasis is put on weight and is not an accurate measure of how much excess fat you carry. You can bu 10 kg of fat, but the tables show only 5 kg lighter. It happens all the time. If you have not exercised much, and start a regular program, may be quite easy on a piece of muscle. So remember, the weight is only a measure of the density (and gravity sucks!). It should be weighed only every few weeks. You can more accurately measure your progress with the tape measurement. Process: * Take shoes and socks. * Stand on the ladder with their feet and evenly distributes the weight evenly on both feet. Heart rate at rest This is the number of times your heart beats per minute when fully rested. It 'best to measure the first time you wake up. Process: * Sit on a chair and use the first two fingers of his left hand to feel the pulse of the right wrist. Palm should come and hear you're on the right side of the wrist. * Count how many beats in 60 seconds. If your heart is healthy, it will be less than 80 beats per minute. As you are fitter, your resting heart rate decreases, which means that your heart is not so difficult to work. Your goal should be 50-60 strokes. Scope Measures Measure your life, belly and hips. Keep the tape business. This is what is measured improvements. The measuring points are located at these addresses: Waist: This is the smaller of the hips and chest to the stomach: In line with the navel. Hips: This is the largest extent on the dock. Body mass index (BMI), body mass index, in essence, measures the level of thickness (I know that I just have Word Up!). It is calculated using the following formula: BMI = (weight in kg / (height in meters) x (height in meters)). So, if your height is 1.73 meters (173 centimeters) and weight is 90 kg, one should multiply by 1.73 * 1.73. This corresponds to 2.99. Next divide that number into your weight (90). Therefore, the formula might look like this: 90 divided by 2.99 = 30 / 1! If you do not use the metric system, with this formula: BMI = (weight in pounds / (height in cm) x (height in cm)) x 703, although a little more body fat (26-27) not is likely to be very harmful to the health of most people with a BMI above 30 (obese) increases significantly the risk of a wide range of diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, osteoarthritis, and gallbladder disease. This is particularly true for people who have excess fat in the abdominal area. Waist-to-Hip Ratio This measures the risk of heart attack. She does an assessment of the distribution of body fat. The more the value of 1.00, the higher the risk of heart disease. A good result is
