Free meal plan, detox: Join our January workout challenge!

In less than 48 hours, the new year will arrive and we'll be alive to welcome it, God willing. I'm pretty sure loads of people already have their "new year resolutions" and they're waiting to activate them by January 1st.

Research has shown that most people add alot of weight during the Christmas and New year break and some go on to include weightloss in their new year resolutions.

BODY MASS INDEX: IS YOUR WEIGHT NORMAL?

Before embarking on a weight loss journey, or any workout routine, it's essential to know your weight and health status. Are you overweight or underweight? You can determine this by calculating your BMI(body mass index).

BMI is a measurement of body fat based on your height and weight. BMI applies to both genders between ages 18-65 years. Calculating your BMI will help you know if your weight is normal or not. According to some health experts, a healthy BMI result is between 18.5-25.
