Body Mass Index Chart

Before starting any exercise program, it is best to know where you are at before you started, and where you want to be - your goal. This can easily be done by jotting down your basic body measurements and your weight. Then along the way, at regular intervals, say once a week or once a month, jot down your measurements again. This will help you track your progress.

Another tool that you can use before you start is to find out where you are in the BMI Chart. This will give you extra information to refine your goals. The BMI Chart is used by many physicians and researchers in the study of obesity. It uses a mathematical formula that takes into account both the person's height and weight.
