The ratio of height and weight in women. Norm by age. How to tidy a figure

It was always important for women to take care of themselves. Striving for perfect beauty, they try to constantly engage in gyms and eat right. Each woman has a clear idea of what reference weight and height should be. But this ratio has always been an individual affair for everyone.

How to measure growth

To determine your own height, you must:

• lean against the wall with your back straight;
• touch the crown of the head and mark this place;
• measure the resulting distance.

The following should be pressed against the wall:

• heels;
• calves of the legs;
• buttocks;
• shoulder blades;
• the back of the head.

From the results of your growth, you can find out the following:

• more than 5’8 foot – too high;
• from 5’5 – 5’7 foot – high;
• from 5’2 – 5’5 foot – medium;
• from 5 – 5’1 foot – below average;
• less than 4’9 foot – low.

Female physique is an important parameter on which the ratio of mass to height depends.

The following types are distinguished:

• Hypersthenic inherent in broad- bonded people.
• Normastenic. He is the most proportional. Women with this type of physique have medium parameters and a narrow waist with slightly wide hips.
• Asthenic is the lot of thin-boned and thin people. Their body parts are narrow and long.

Body type is determined by measuring the wrist. In asthenics, it has a size of 6’3 inch or less. In people with a normatic type, the wrist reaches a length of up to 18. 2 inch. Hypersthenics also have the thickest – more than 18. 2 inch.

What should be the normal ratio of height to weight in women: calculation according to the formulas

Such a determination of the exact correspondence of parameters takes into account various characteristics. There are several formulas for calculations, which are described below.

Brock’s Formula

It measures growth in inch, after which 110 is subtracted from the result, then multiplied by 1.15. These calculations are suitable for women with a normal physique. Broad-boned should add, and thin-bonded should be taken away from the obtained 10%.

Ketle formula

With the help of these estimates, the body mass index (BMI) is recognized: M: (P * P), where M is the mass in pounds; P – body length in m.

If it turns out:

• less than 18.5, then this is a shortage of weight;
• up to 25 – the norm;
• up to 30 – excess of the norm;
• up to 35 – overweight or expectation of 1 degree;
• up to 40 – 2 degree of obesity;
• more than 40 – 3 degree.

The Ketle formula is not used for:

• expecting a baby and breastfeeding ;;
• the elderly;
• involved in sports;
• children.

Nagler’s formula

The ratio of height and weight for women in this index is ideal. At a height of 152. 1’6 inch, body weight should be equal to 99 pounds. If the growth is greater, then for every 2. 21’3 inch (1 inch) add 900 g and 10% of the calculation result.

McCallum formula

This method of determining the conformity of the figure to growth is considered the best. Everything here is based on the measurement of the wrist.

• The chest girth is 6.5 times the size of the wrist.
• The hips are 85% of the chest.
• Waist is 70% of the chest.
• 53% of the chest circumference is the volume of the hips, and 37% is the neck.
• Biceps and lower leg are also calculated from the circumference of the chest. The first component is 37% of this parameter, and the second is 34%.
• 29% of the chest circumference is the volume of the forearm.

The McCallum formula with average values may have other options:

• The figure is ideal if the hips are 9’8 inch more than the waist and are almost equal to the volume of the chest.
• The proportional size of the waist is calculated by subtracting a hundred from a height in inch.
• With a voluminous chest and narrow waist, hips, the female figure looks like an “apple”. The “pear” type is when the chest and waist are much smaller than the hips.
• The waist circumference of women with average height is approximately identical to body weight in pounds.

Lorentz formula

This method is the simplest.

The application of the Lorentz algorithm is as follows:

• X-100- (X-150) / 2; X – height in inch.
• X / 2-25 (simplified formula).

But this method does not take into account, however, physique. Therefore, the Lorentz formula is considered not too accurate.

Breitman formula

The index is calculated using growth in inch. To do this, the measured height is multiplied by 0.7 and subtract 50 from the result. Breitman’s formula is best used for mature women.

BMI for height and weight

Body mass index is calculated in the same way as in the Ketle formula.

Women with perfect weight:

• do not suffer from cardiovascular diseases;
• Do not overeat;
• have normal cholesterol;
• less likely to get cancer;
• have a strong body and immunity;
• do not suffer from arthrosis and pressure drops;
• easier to tolerate physical activity.

The norm of weight and proportions of a figure in women, depending on the type of physique

Such a classification is more real and constructive.

Type A

It is determined by determining the ratio of the femoral girth to the chest volume. The indicator in this case is greater than 1.05. The figure in the form of the letter A is a typical “pear” or “triangle”.

In women with such a physique, there are:

• thin waist;
• narrow shoulders and chest;
• rather wide hips.

Since ancient times, the feminine silhouette of a type A figure has been considered the standard of beauty. Physical complexes on the hips and buttocks will help maintain the shape of such a body.

Type X

In girls and women, when dividing the waist circumference by the volume of the hips, and then by the circumference of the chest, the indicators are the same or less than 0.75 when the body type is hourglass or type X. The ratio of height and weight is not here. For such representatives of humanity, the top is approximately equal to the bottom.

An ideal body in the form of an hourglass can afford asthenics and normostenics. But for this they will have to sit on a balanced diet and properly exercise the abs and hips with physical exercises.

Type O

The “apple” physique is an indicator greater than 0.75. With the type of figure O, the legs are thin and long, and the body is full and round. A large abdomen is always present in the waist area. Busty beauties with slender legs and sloping shoulders will have to constantly engage in gyms to maintain normal proportions of a body like O.

They need to deal with:

• the press;
• breast;
• back muscles.

Type H

The figure “rectangle” when dividing the size of the waist by the volume of the chest has an indicator equal to or greater than 0.75. A body type H is equal in volume to the hips and chest. Graceful and stylish H-shaped figures also need to be carefully monitored: train the buttocks and shoulder girdle.

Type v

If dividing the size of the bust by the circumference of the hips gives a result of 1.05 or more, then the physique looks like an inverted triangle or type V.

In women with such a figure:

• big breasts;
• broad shoulders;
• narrow hips.

The natural silhouette of a V-shaped physique is also a kind of standard, and from ancient times. To save the beauty of such a figure will help dancing or cycling.

How to put a figure in order: methods and recommendations

The ratio of height and weight in women is well controlled by constant training of the body. It seems to girls that physical activity always leads to weight loss. In fact, only certain specific exercises help to get rid of excess weight. They should also be accompanied by cosmetic procedures and proper nutrition.

Squats are best started without weight. They must be repeated 20-30 times in 4 or 5 approaches. The breaks between them should be 30 or 40 seconds. Hips help to lose weight lunges with a small weight. You can strengthen your back at home without a simulator. To do this, they sit on a chair or sofa, bend over, lowering their hands with lightweight dumbbells down and resting their chest on their hips.

Next, the limbs with weight are bred to the sides and again lower them to their original position. The repetitions are the same as in the case of squats. Fans of push-ups from the floor will have to completely abandon them, since these exercises make the volume of the arms even more massive. The right alternative is a great alternative – the bar. It tightens the stomach well and strengthens the main muscles.

For weight loss you need:

• Combine strength exercises with cardio workouts.
• Each time, choose different training programs and new options for loading the same muscles.
• Perform loads with the smallest weight and a large number of approaches and repetitions with insignificant interruptions.

Special training will help you quickly get rid of cellulite and sagging skin:

1. Lying on the right side and resting on the elbow, raise the left leg to a distance of 11’8 inch from the surface. Frozen for a couple of seconds, they lower it. The same thing is done with the right foot. There should be a dozen leg lifts and 2 sets for each side.
2. They rest on the floor with their hands, taking the same position as when pushing up. One leg bent at the knee is brought to the chest. After that, it is straightened and lifted up 7’9 inch from the surface. Similar actions are done with the left foot. In total there should be 3 approaches with 8 leg lifts.
3. Any weighting compound is taken into hands, they stand directly with legs spread wide at shoulder width. Breathing slowly, they bend over, bending their knees. On the exhale rise. Exercise is performed 20 times in 3 sets.
4. Picking up weighting agents, they stand directly with their feet shoulder-width apart. Then they slowly begin to lean forward with their arms hanging down freely and their back straight. Leaning as low as possible, come back. All this is done 12 times in 5 calls.
5. Kneel down and lean on straight arms. The back should remain flat. Then produce push-ups from the floor with the raising of one leg up. Exercise is performed alternately for both legs in 2 sets of 15 repetitions.
6. The legs are placed slightly wider than the shoulders, and the hands are placed on the back of the head. After strongly jumping up, forming from the legs and arms like a star. Landing, take the starting position. There should be 20 jumps, and 2 approaches.
