1.BMI Personal Classification
Please measure your height in inches and weight in pounds — so that you can determine your personal BMI value. Also, you may (or may not) have the ability to measure your waist circumference.

Compare your BMI measurements to the classification table in 18.1 (see page 354) and waist circumference to the standard waist measure on page 354. Based upon these measures, please write up your results and estimate your personal caloric needs (use Table 18.2 on pg 359) and estimate how many calories you will use for various exercises (see page 93)
