Aerobic exercise health check fat BMI

This Friday June 13, 2008, Pathmanathan will bring a machine to measure body vital health statistics like body fat, BMI (body mass index) or Quetelet index. BMI is a statistical measure of the ratio of the weight of a person scaled to his or her height. BMI was invented more by a Belgian by the name of Adolphe Quetelet. Body mass index is defined as the individual's body weight divided by the square of their height. The formulas universally used in medicine produce a unit of measure of kg/m2. Body mass index may be accurately calculated using either of the formulas below.

BMI SI unit	weight (kg)/height2(m2)
BMI US units	[weight(lb)x703]/height(in.)

Aerobic exercise will be from 7 - 8am as usual. Measurement of vital body health statistics like BMI will be after 8am.

Aerobic exercises for this week shall be

Wednesday 26 March 2008, 7am to 8 am

Friday 28 March 2008, 7am to 8 am

Computer classes facing a bit of a glitch. Mr. Beh, the one in charge of the Residents Association Pondok (hut) is very sick, but hopefully will recover soon. Regarding classes, he said to wait till after AGM (Annual General Meeting) which normally would be in April, but now the secretary has been reported as saying not fixed yet, perhaps in May?

Plus the computers use the open source Linux which will be a little bit different from Windows or Vista. However, I don't think it is a major problem, depending on what you want. I have seen the computers, but yet to see what is available inside the computers.

Petaling Jaya SS3, aerobic exercise led by K. Pathmanathan

Above is a photo of K. Pathmanathan, 68 year old and really fit. Mr. Pathmanathan was a former Sports Ministry personnel and now volunteers to lead aerobic exercise sessions in various places and one of them is at the covered basketball court, next to the community hall of Section SS3. The exercise sessions are livened by music using his own audio system comprising a P.A. (public address) system, microphone and portable player, costing RM7,000 which he bear himself.

Mr. Pathmanathan designed the series of aerobic exercises himself and according to theStar Sunday Metro, 15 July 2007, was reported to have said that people who had frozen shoulders, joint and lower back problems have found relief through his series of aerobic exercises.

Mr. K. Pathmanathan also conducts fitball exercises in Sri Setia, Sungai Way every Wednesday. I have seen a small group of people exercising early morning while still dark, with a large, bouncy ball which I guess must be that fitball exercises, at the same basketball court before the star of the aerobic exercises. According to Mr. K. Pathmanathan, these fitball exercises strengthen the muscles and improve the blood circulation in the lower back by 30%.

Below is a photo of one of the aerobic exercise session:
