Body Mass Index (BMI)

There are some fitness gurus who don't think BMI is a good measure of fitness. It does have some disadvantages (particularly for big, muscular men) but generally speaking it is a piece of information to know in your pursuit of wellness. Here is a handy calculator from Healthy Widgets to find out your personal BMI:
