BMI Calculator

Your BMI (Body Mass Index) is defined as your body weight divided by the square of your height. This is a useful tool to get an idea of how lean you are or may need to be, in order to remain healthy. Here is an in-depth Wikipedia explanation of BMI.
 
But it’s just a starting point
 
The index, as it was originally designed, does not take into account your age, sex, or muscle mass. So, don’t become overly concerned about the number you get when you measure yourself.

The chart we’ve provided below does account for age and body composition and gives you an illustrated example of what your build is now and what it can look like when you enter the desired BMI.

The resulting picture gives you a better idea of where you’re at and where you want to go.
 
It’s a mapping device, really
 
You have to know where you are in order to begin any trip and you have to know where you’re headed, in order to plot the best way to get there.

To not know either of these things before training will result in aimlessness. That can lead to wasted effort and time, which can eventually lead to demotivation and lack of enthusiasm, which may then cause you to stop training – something we never wish for you here at the MAC.

So, use the handy tool below to start building your fitness goal map. Then speak with one of our many certified fitness trainers to learn the best way to attain the numbers you prefer.
