       Ever wonder what the number on the scale actually means? The
       answer lies in your body composition.
       First, let's sort out the difference between body weight and
       body composition (not to be confused with body mass index, which
       is your body weight divided by height). Your body weight is
       simply your body's total mass. Body composition is what your
       weight is made of—muscle, bone, water, and fat.
       Sounds great, but why should you care? Knowing where you stand
       is the first step to getting where you want to go.
       What you gain by knowing your body composition:
       1.Body composition gives you a clearer picture of your health. A
       person can be in a healthy weight range but practice a sedentary
       lifestyle, which is more common than you may think. Over 150
       million Americans do not get enough exercise, leading to health
       issues like heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Body
       composition is a clear indicator of whether your body fat
       percentage is in a healthy range—10-20 percent for men and 18-28
       percent for women. This knowledge is important to determine how
       to reduce or prevent the risk of developing these diseases.
       2.Know your strengths and weaknesses. Everyone has muscle
       imbalances, and a body composition analysis, like the one
       completed on Asphalt Green's InBody scale, pinpoints your
       strengths and weaknesses.
       3.Body composition helps you determine the right approach to
       exercise. Fitness is personal. Knowing the amount of fat and
       muscle in each limb will help determine the most effective
       approach to exercise for you. For example, an individual with
       higher levels of body fat but average muscle mass would benefit
       from workouts that get the heart rate up (lower weights, higher
       repetitions). Conversely, an individual with average fat
       percentage and lower muscle mass would get more out of a
       strength-building workout (heavier weights and lower
       repetitions).
       You're convinced, now what? You can get yourself a BodyPedia
       Smart Scale to help you. BodyPedia Smart Scale has been proved
       to be the first accurate smart scale for body compositions. It
       can help you target improvement areas, develop effective
       training, adjust diet, set attainable goals and track changes of
       body composition over time for
       success.
