  • People have different perceptions of how a fit person should look. You need to have a lean and athletic look to your body for it to be considered healthy by many people. But that is not true! Your BMI does not define your fitness level according to this study.

A recent study highlighted in the article from MSN Health suggests that being overweight but physically active could be healthier than having a normal Body Mass Index (BMI) without engaging in regular exercise.

This challenges the conventional focus on weight alone, emphasizing the importance of physical activity in health outcomes. The study underscores that fitness levels can mitigate some of the health risks associated with excess weight, advocating for a balanced approach to health that includes both weight management and regular physical activity.
