BMI active level?

[Rhys00]

Hey all so i am a bit confused on my active level for bmi. I am unsure if i am moderately active or very active.

I work 2 jobs and go to college. And the odd trip to town

Hi Rhys. When I look at the NHS BMI calculator, it says 'Moderately active' is between 30 and 60 minutes a week and 'Active' is 60 -150 minutes a week.

It describes physical activity as anything that makes you breathe faster and feel warmer. It could be:

- brisk walking

- running

- cycling

- swimming

- dancing

- an active job

- pushing a lawnmower

- tennis

- football

I hope that helps you work it out

I think I would suggest Moderately active Rhys00 to be on the safe side Best wishes

I know what you mean with the confusion Rhys. I do 60+ mins of activity a day but it doesn't make me out of breath as non of it is fast/brisk due to my knee. I always choose moderate for that reason. xx
