How to Identify Your Ideal Weight

So how do you go about identifying your ideal weight? Well, its not really so difficult as long as you know a few personal statistics of yours. Start with your height, as that’s always a good place to start. Then you need to take into account your build. these two vital statistics are a good place to start.

If you’re a man, you can probably go ahead and work out what your ideal weight is with just those two statistics as other factors such as your muscle density to fat volume as it stands will change after a few weeks on an exercise program as you will build more muscle and lose fat as you go.

If you’re a woman, then there are other factors that may contribute to your final ideal weight. This will entail taking into consideration your hip size, bust size, body shape (ie apple or pear) in addition to your height and build.

Say you’re 5 feet 6 inches with a slight build, pear shape, small bust size and medium hip size. There’s an ideal weight that will match your overall body type. You will have to find what it is and make that your absolute goal to achieve.

So make an appointment to see your own health professional. If you don’t know one, ask your doctor to recommend one to you. This is the safest way to do this and they will also be able tyo advise you on diet and exercise that best suits your build and body shape.
