What is considered to be the optimal weight for someone that is 5'2''?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You decide: The "ideal weight" charts are subscience / entertainment & even "body mass index" was a measure of post-wwii populations, not people. A person's best weight is whatever looks and feels right to that person while he / she is able to keep up with peers at the fitness activities that he / she enjoys. I hope you've chosen a smart, fitness-focused lifestyle.
