Forget BMI. Mine is 29.5 and I am fit, and take a UK 14 a US 12. It is very distorting.
The most useful is simply waist measurement (weight can go up during diet and exercise regimes ) as it directly links to diabetes.
If your ankles etc are not great go for the cross trainer and also buy a pedometer. Aim for 10k a day. When that's easy push it up by 2k. At 15k weight loss tends to follow and it's really good for just generalised fitness.
