Who – or What – Am I? Why should I get my body fat/composition tested?
Body composition isn’t easy to discern by sight. Is that a flabby muscle or extra body fat? The answer may vary according to where to decide to get your information; your spouse, the mirror, your performance in the gym or in the game.
Your percentage of body fat and muscle influences much more than your appearance. It also influences your health. Surplus body fat accumulated within the body can make it harder for your heart and lungs to work. Fat and extra body weight put additional strain on the entire cardiovascular system. Reducing your caloric intake will affect this fat… but also your muscles. Reducing your muscles will make you feel weaker. All muscles are affected, including your heart.
How can you save muscle while losing fat? Your lean tissue body mass is the best indicator of just how much protein you need in your diet to keep your muscles strong and healthy while you burn off extra fat. Muscle is your body’s machine that burns calories whenever it works.
I accurately test for your body composition using the most precise technology available in a clinical setting. This assures us of getting the best results with the program I create with your input.
