Greetings!
If you are among the two-thirds of Americans who are overweight, shedding some pounds can save you substantial money on health costs. A recent study confirms that heavy people (as defined by their Body Mass Index "BMI") spend more on health care...and the costs increase dramatically with a higher BMI:
BMI Annual Medical Expenditures
25 $ 1,938
30 $ 2,086
35 $ 2,963
40 $ 5,510
45 $ 13,327
Not sure how to calculate your BMI? Here is the formula and an example to help you out.
BMI = Weight x 703
--------------------------------------------
height in inches x height in inches
For example a 6 foot (72 inches) 200-tall man who weighs 200 pounds would have a BMI of:
200 x 703
------------ = 27
72 x 72
Summer is a great time to get started on a weight loss program due to the nice weather and availability of fresh healthy foods. If you need to shed some extra pounds and correspondingly save some money on health care costs, we are here to help. With over 150 free group exercise classes monthly, personal training, small group training on the Crossfire, and our new Total Body Evolution large group training program, you have numerous options to help you get fit.
