Adjusts weight range based on bone structure
How to Determine Your Frame Size
Wrap your thumb and middle finger around your wrist:
- •Small: Fingers overlap
- •Medium: Fingers just touch
- •Large: Fingers don't touch
Weight = BMI × Height² (m²)
The healthy weight range is calculated using the BMI formula reversed. For a BMI range of 18.5-24.9, we calculate the corresponding weights.
A healthy weight range is the spectrum of body weights that are associated with optimal health outcomes for individuals of a given height. This range is typically determined using the Body Mass Index (BMI), which provides a simple relationship between weight and height. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a healthy BMI as falling between 18.5 and 24.9, which translates to different weight ranges depending on your height.
Understanding your healthy weight range can help you set realistic fitness goals and maintain a weight that reduces your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. However, it's important to remember that weight is just one indicator of health, and factors like muscle mass, body composition, and overall fitness level also play crucial roles.
Body frame size refers to the overall bone structure of your body. People with larger frames naturally carry more weight due to their larger bone mass and structure, while those with smaller frames may weigh less at the same height. Accounting for body frame can provide a more personalized healthy weight range.
Small Frame
Characterized by narrow shoulders, small wrists, and a delicate bone structure. Weight range adjusted 5-10% lower.
Medium Frame
Average bone structure with proportional shoulders and wrists. Standard BMI-based weight range applies.
Large Frame
Broader shoulders, larger wrists, and heavier bone structure. Weight range adjusted 5-10% higher.
