“I don’t care about the numbers on a scale, I just want to be leaner and have a healthy amount of muscle.”
This is a common statement I hear from people when discussing their health and fitness goals. While I agree that it is the proper actions and mindsets that determine results, there are certain numbers that DO matter.
A body composition assessment, as simple as stepping on a computerized scale, provides vital measurements about your health status and the effectiveness of your current fitness and dietary routines. In addition, the data offers critical insight to help you set realistic goals, monitor your progress and adjust your routines and diet as needed.
Whether you are trying to lose weight, gain or maintain muscle, or simply looking to better understand your current status, a body composition establishes an important baseline for the following:
- Body fat mass
- Muscle mass
- Percentage of body weight from fluid
- Estimated average daily caloric intake and BMR (basal metabolic rate)
- Visceral fat (the deep belly fat that poses the greatest health risk)
The fact is, numbers tell a story. What does yours say? Contact me to schedule your appointment and let’s find out!
