Health Management

What is the Term Weight Management?

Weight management refers to the strategies and plans designed to maintain an appropriate body mass index or weight balance. There are three primary focuses within weight management:

  1. Weight Control to Increase (Obesity)

  2. Weight Control to Decrease (Normal Weight)

  3. Strategies to Increase Low Weight (Underweight)

Effective weight management involves a long-term workout plan and dedication. Fitness trainers and yoga instructors can assist in both gaining and losing weight; however, weight control is not a simple task. It requires an investment of time, money, and energy.
