Henry David Thoreau

The human species tends to achieve what it wants; the trouble is knowing what we want. We must have directions and goals and know where we are going or we will surely fail.

Health & Fitness: Are You “Skinny Fat”?

March 15th, 2009 by Khristi in Khristi, Red Tag Crazy, exercise, health, red tag crazy blog

A very common issue with young women today is that they are “skinny fat.” We live in a time where manual labour is rarely done, machines and computers take care of everything for us. Therefore women who are blessed with naturally being thin never feel the need to work out and end up “skinny fat.” This problem is also common amoung women who diet without also working out and with women who do purely cardio as their exercise.

Health and Fitness: Your Ideal Body Weight

March 14th, 2009 by Khristi in Khristi, Red Tag Crazy, exercise, red tag crazy blog

Your ideal body weight cannot be described with a “magic number.” This “magic number” does not exist.

I’m sure you’ve heard the “100lbs for 5ft, 5lbs each inch after that” rule. This is not necessarily ideal. Ideal body weight varies person to person. The ideal weight is ultimately where you are happy with yourself. However, most people are not, and this will be discussed in a later blog. For now, if you must have a “magic number” it would be more like a “magic range.” To get this range, take that rule above, and subtract 10 from the number, then take the original number again and add 15. For example at 5ft3 my “ideal range” would be 105lbs – 130lbs.

But, I stress, do not take this too seriously.

But first, what is your body composition, well it is exactly that, what your body is composed of. When having it tested you are measured for body fat and lean body mass, your lean body mass includes your weight from your muscle, water weight, bone mass, and all of the other nasty stuff floating around inside of you.

Health and Fitness: Why Measure Body Fat?

March 10th, 2009 by Khristi in How To..., Khristi, Red Tag Crazy, exercise, red tag crazy blog

Most of us use the scale to measure our weight; we have seen it go up and down numerous times. We view the scale as a barometer of our appearance, cheering at low weights, frowning at high ones. The scale has nothing to do with the way we look, it’s only use should be as a gauge on our battle in the war with weight.
