The Pierian Spring eNewsletter:-
Welcome to our second last eNewsletter for the year.
In this issue, we will very briefly cover the topic of "the" Dreaded BMI Calculator.
We came across an article in the newspaper "The Sunday Telegraph" dated September 7, 2008.
The heading was titled BMI a 'fat' load of use.
They really say it honestly, and that is this system is accepted as the Gold standard id determining if we or our clients are "fat".
It also lists 13 professional sports people as being "overweight" and one as being "obese"
I personally would love to be overweight or obese if I were one of these people.
But on a serious note, how many of you had your clients premium loaded because they were overweight or obese?
How do you explain to a 'Mark Gassier' or a 'Barry Hall' that they were overweight? - Make sure you have your running shoes on!
Maybe if you did the calculation beforehand, you may be forewarned, and forewarned is forearmed.
