What is with the BMI, that thing is garbage :angry:....I am 5'11" 215 and it says that I am "hefty". Just messing with the thing says a good weight would be 170, haven't weighted that since I was in H.S.:laugh:

Its a very poor indicator. Even a lean individual at a heavier weight would weigh in poorly on that thing.

Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.

Yep, it is based on age, height, and weight. It does not factor in muscle, so bodybuilders would be "obese" according to the BMI measurements.
