Understanding your body composition is necessary in order to make informed decisions about nutrition and exercise programs and is one of the reasons people use the BOD POD body composition testing system.
Using the BOD POD regularly is a great way to monitor your progress toward achieving your health and fitness goals. Using a traditional scale just doesn't cut it.
Body composition (percent fat and lean) is one of the best indicators of health, reflecting both physical activity and dietary practices.
Body weight alone can be very misleading. The scale cannot tell the difference between a pound of fat and a pound of muscle.
Over time, people tend to gain fat and lose muscle without an obvious change in their weight.
Only by accurately measuring body composition will one learn the amount of fat and lean tissue that makes up their weight.
Many people follow a nutrition and exercise plan to become healthier. It's hard work and easy to get discouraged if you don't see results.
If your bathroom scale says you're the same weight at the end of the month that you were at the start of the month, you might ask, "Why bother?" But what if you actually replaced 3 pounds of fat with 3 pounds of lean muscle mass? That would be something to cheer about since you not only lost fat, but you gained muscle mass, which automatically means you'll be burning more calories each day because of it.
Don't just go by the number on the scale. Schedule a follow-up BOD POD tests to get the whole story.
