Ideal Weight From Body Frame

Not sure on if you are on a good track with your ideal weight loss goals? What many don't know is that a good way to determine an ideal weight is to refer to you body frame size. Body frame size is determined by a persons wrist circumference in relation to their height. Based on this one can determine if they have a small, medium, or large body frame and this is definitely something to consider when determining ideal weight ranges. To determine the body frame size measure the wrist with a tape measure and use the following measurements below to determine frame size:

Woman:
If your height is under 5"2: A small frame would have a wrist size less than 5.5"; Medium frame 5.5" to 5.75"; Large: A wrist size over 5.75"
Height ranges from 5"2 to 5"5: Small frame is less than 6"; Medium frame 6" to 6.25"; Large frame: wrist size over 6.25"
Height over 5"5: Small frame: less than 6.25" Medium frame: 6.25" to 6.5" Large frame: Over 6.5"

Men:
Height over 5"5: Small frame: wrist size 5.5" to 6.5"; Medium frame: wrist size 6.5" to 7.5"; Large frame: wrist size over 7.5"

For years people have looked up their ideal weight using charts. Although the method works, having knowledge of your body frame size and then using this in your calculation of ideal body weight is an more accurate way of determining ideal weight.
