Measurements and scales are the most common tools we use to assess our body.
For many people it can be very frustrating to exercise and eat a healthy diet only to see the number on the scale stay the same. But body composition is more than a number unlike your bathroom scale.
A bathroom scale may be a good tool for measuring weight, but it may not accurately reflect your true health. Body composition takes your weight measurement one step further, figuring out what percentage of your weight comes from fat, muscle, and bone.
In this episode, we'll help you understand and review the basics of your body composition, what it means, and what you can do about it.
Tune in now and let's breakdown what your body composition is and how to improve it with these highlight topics for this episode:
So if you want to know "what is a good body composition," then, you have to tune in until the end of this episode.

If you are a regular at the common commercial gym and looking for a healthy change, OR, you're a complete beginner who is ready to start taking their first steps into their fitness journey, then listen on!
