Well done Gift & co, another global recognition after Nokia invited you to their HQ! You’re slowly laying the foundations for Bulawayo to become the tech & creative capital of Zimbabwe.
well done
Well done but…BMI it’s only semi accurate for the average sedate person. BMI is not accurate if you lift weights and carry above average muscle mass. If you carry above average muscle mass, it will say you are overweight.
Yes Sean, you are very right. BMI was made for the “average sedate person” which is most of us.
