BMI a waste of time, both very fit and very unfit can have an high BMI, better off spending time watching your heart rate and take note on how quick it drops back to your normal after exercising.

Agree. I only use BMI for idle curiosity

I find this topic depressing

More on the idle curiosity front -mum's BMI (5'7", 7 stone) would have been 15.3 - seriously underweight. In fact, until her last couple of years or so - she died at 69 - she was a bundle of energy, never still if there was the slightest chance of something needing to be done
