25.8

Even more informative would be BMI and body fat percentage. Takes more equipment tho.

With BMI all the chunkies will pretend they hunkies.

[Jimjam]

22 BMI here,

18.6% body fat, if the dodgey old scales are to be believed, which maybe they aren't as they had my hydration pretty low (I had 56% water content of someone above 50s and I'm not quite that old yet).

That basically says I'm in the healthy range, but maybe could do a bit more muscle mass? I've not studied fitness for a long time, any advice? I know we got some fitness freaks on the forum, even if a lot of them sound like bodybuilding baloon men.

I'm pretty happy with my body fat percentage; I drop kilos like panties when I'm ill so like to have that resevoire. Prolly should get back on the body weight exercises; when I was still in greece they had awesome park gyms (and the weather to use them). Being back in the UK exercising outside is unattractive, except for hiking where you can wear all weather gear.

22.5 bmi and around same body fat %

30.3

Guess I’m obese! 🙄

You can go the Physical Therapist rout if you have insurance. A lot of them basically just turn into personal trainers.

Your best bet is a credible personal trainer or some kind of exercise class. Yoga might add some muscle mass if you want to avoid barbells. But muscles are best developed with barbells IMO. But you need someone to make sure your form is good.

In the meantime Id just get comfortable with the squat motion because it seems most people that aren't active need to work on it.
