Waist-Hip Ratio

Another day behind and I feel like I have been running around all day! I have been busy at work and after work. I have lots of studying to do as well and a big assignment that I will have start doing in the evenings.

This evening I went to the gym to meet a personal trainer who is going to make me my own gym program that I'm going to follow for the next 4 - 6 weeks. He also made me do a fitness test and we measured my waist-hip ratio. Test went okay, I had to do 500 metre rowing as fast I can. It took me 2 minutes and 5 seconds.

My ratio measurements were perfect! I was in the excellent category with my 0.74 result.

Interesting facts about the ratio,

A Waist-Hip Ratio of 0.7 for women and 0.9 for men has been shown to correlate strongly with general health and fertility. Women within the 0.7 range have optimal levels of estrogen and are less susceptible to major diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and ovarian cancers. Women with high WHR (0.80 or higher) have significantly lower pregnancy rates than women with lower WHRs (0.70–0.79), independent of their BMIs.
