So what’s normal when it comes to weight loss and a healthy weight? One of the most common measures worldwide is the BMI (Body Mass Index) which is a measure of a person’s weight in proportion to their height. This is the Australian Government’s main measure of determining if you are at a healthy weight for their new multimillion dollar “Get Active” campaign. You know the ads with Pat Rafter jumping around asking “how do you get your 30 minutes”; you can check it out at www.your30.qld.gov. As a Personal Trainer I believe the Get Active campaign is a great concept as it points out that exercise can be anything that is fun and active, it doesn’t have to be a scary Gym.
