Welcome to the Home of Fitness and Wellbeing

Exercise is as much a biological need, as much as Eating. If you have spent a total of 60 minutes for eating (Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner + Snacks) through out the day, it would be ideal for you to spend the same amount of time for your exercise.

Fitness should be your way of life.

Ideal Body Measurements


What should be your ideal measurements ?




Another General Guideline for Ideal Body Measurements


Muscle to bone ratios:
Arm size = 252% of wrist size
Calf size = 192% of ankle size
Neck Size = 79% of head size
Chest Size = 148% of pelvis size
Waist size = 86% of pelvis size 
Thigh size = 175% of knee size


    This formula is based on wrist measurement
    6.5 times your wrist gives chest girth
    85% of the chest girth produces the hips
    Take 70% of the chest girth for the waist
    53% of the chest gives the thigh girth
    The neck size is 37% of the chest
    36% of the chest produces the upper arm girth
    The calves come out a little less at 34%
    The forearms get 29% of the chest measurements



    Another example of Ideal Body Proportions
    Here's the another "Ideal" body proportions table.
    Instructions
    To use this chart first divide your bodyweight (in lbs) by your height (in Inches). This will give your weight per inch of height. When this is determined select the figure in the far left column that is closest to yours. Then, follow the figures straight across to learn your ideal proportions. (This chart is only really appropriate for men)]

    Ideal Body Shape for a Woman

    The ideal woman’s body shape would be one where the waist is slim and the hips are slightly wider and proportionate. Women who carry a lot of weight in their waist are at risk of heart disease and should aim at slimming down their waist.
    Use the waist-to-hip ratio to determine if your body is in optimal or bad shape. To determine this, you will need to measure the circumference of your hips as well as the circumference of your waist in inches. To calculate your waist-to-hip ratio, divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement and record your score. An ideal number would be a ratio of under 0.8. Take this reading on a regular basis, such as once a week and track your score.
    It is said that a woman who has a measurement of 36-24-36 has an excellent Hour-Glass figure, where the first 36 is the chest size, 24 is the waist size and the last 36 is the hip size. 
    There two body types for a woman: Apple and  Pear shape. See the illustration below:

    Look at these nice figures
