Conversely, there are a lot of very healthy people with a BMI over 30 as well.

My BMI was 26 or so I think. Over 25 years ago. in the military and I maxed every PT test I took. In fact I maxed 2 iPYT tests in a row back to back but worked out 2 hours a day then. I was considered overweight but had a 32 inch waist and 18 inch neck. I remember they used to measure my neck, wrists, waist to determine if overweight because at 6 feet 205lbs was 30 lbs over ideal weight.

BMI ok as general indicator for those who don't work out much
