A BMI Calculator, or Body Mass Index Calculator is used to determine body fat percentage, relative to height and weight.
The Body Mass Index Calculator is useful when trying to treat and reduce cellulite. If you have a high BMI then you are more prone to cellulite in common areas of the butt, thighs, arms and stomach.
Though skinny and overweight people alike can have cellulite, you want to try to maintain a healthy BMI to make the reduction and elimination of cellulite more easily attainable.
