Is form really that important? And BMI for BAME

from The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast · host Peter Lap

Send us Fan MailPeter waffles on about the importance of form and Range of Motion when exercising. He argues that personal trainers tend to care too much about form, that they don't pay enough attention to how an individual's body moves naturally and that there should be more focus on range of motion and time under tension.He also briefly talks about the problem with BMI and BAME people in this BBC article. He argues that the problem isn't necessarily that people of colour, including Latin-American, are not included in BMI research but that BMI completely ignores bodytypes. This, means that, when it comes to approving medical operations, it is nowhere near an accurate enough stand-alone measurement. So the problem here isn't really a White/Non-white thing, the problem is more with the measurement itsself.Visit healthypostnatalbody.com and get 3 months completely FREE access using coupon code "3months" because Post natal health is a right, not a privilege.Email [email protected] if you have any questions or comments You can support HPNB, and the charity  Wellbeing of women, by going to this blog first and clicking on the Amazon banner in it before you give Mr Bezos your hard-earned money.
