BMI takes into account 2 things: height and weight. Since you lift weights, and I'm assuming that means you're fairly muscular, you'll be relatively heavy (as muscle is heavy). A waist under 30 inches is very slim, ignore it.

For men aged 20-39, the healthy range for body fat percentage runs from 8% to 20%, and for men aged 40-59 it’s 11-22%.

Of course being superlean but not exercising may be less healthy than a small tyre and exercising, so, it's only a factor of health.
You seem to walk/run/do sports a lot I wouldn't worry! :)

Thanks. I haven't started working out my body fat yet - is this the same as the BMI figure? If so, something is wrong somewhere - I'm carried a bit of weight around my midriff but none elsewhere - no abs yet!!!
