Far too many of the worlds top fitness experts totally dismiss BMI and concentrate instead on body fat percentage. Personally I don't worry about my BMI, the last time it was under 25 I was 13 years old.

If you had a short person with a lot of muscle, his BMI would be quite high. That doesn't mean he's obese or has any health problems. That said, it's a good simple gauge for many, many people.

According to it, I'm overweight, with a BMI of 27. That's ridiculous, I'm in great shape, and hovering around only 14% body fat. Can having a little extra muscle be bad for your heart?

The BMI is concerned with your weight and height whilst your body fat percentage is concerned with the amount of fat your body is storing. My bad guys!

Yeah, it's the only way to get a six-pack, but it's a little dangerous.

I'm on the skinny side as it is but I'm still around 16%. My goal is to reduce my BMI to the 10% mark (more for vanity reasons than anything I guess).
