Ready for a Better Body Composition Assessment?
BMI is just the starting point. Let's get a complete picture of your fitness with proper body composition analysis and create a plan that works for YOUR body.
Why BMI Has Limitations for Fitness:
- Doesn't distinguish muscle from fat: Muscle is denser than fat, so athletes often have "high" BMI
- Ignores body composition: Someone with 15% body fat could have the same BMI as someone with 30%
- No consideration for bone density: Some people naturally have heavier bone structure
- Age and gender differences: BMI doesn't account for natural variations
- Better alternatives exist: Body fat percentage, waist-to-hip ratio, and fitness assessments
Better Health Indicators to Track:
- Body fat percentage: More accurate representation of health and fitness
- Waist circumference: Better predictor of health risks than BMI
- Fitness performance: Strength, endurance, and flexibility improvements
- Energy levels: How you feel throughout the day
- Blood markers: Cholesterol, blood pressure, and metabolic health
