BMI 429341021 Measuring Tape with Stop/Belt Clip, Red/White, 3 m x 16 mm

Product Information

This section of The Tape Store is dedicated to what we call 'metric only' tape measures; those tapes that feature only metric graduations along their length. Put simply, millimetres, centimetres and metres. The BMI calculation divides an adult's weight in kilograms (kg) by their height in metres (m) squared. Find the bottom of your ribs and the top of your hips and place the tape measure around your middle at a point halfway between them (usually just above the belly button). Keep an ongoing record of your measurements to monitor progress, every two weeks is usually sufficient frequency. Place the tape measure directly on your skin. You should not wear more than one layer of light clothing.

Using at least three spots on your body – chest, abs and thigh are often used – pinch the skin, pulling the muscle away from the fat and measure the fold with the calipers. Being underweight could be a sign you're not eating enough or you may be ill. If you're underweight, a GP can help.
