InBody - Find Out What You're Made Of ...

Why Body Composition Matters

The scale doesn't lie, however it can be misleading.

Muscle is far more dense than fat. So if you change your body composition by losing fat and gaining muscle, you may actually gain weight. Therefore it can be a mistake to focus solely on how much you weigh. It's what your body is actually composed of that really matters!

Also, even at rest a pound of muscle burns 2 to 3x more calories per day than a pound of fat. That's why strength training to develop lean muscle mass is often such an important component of fat loss. And that's another reason why understanding your body composition - and how it changes over time in response to your workout and nutrition habits - can be such a powerful tool.

The InBody 570 Body Composition Scan

In less than a minute, the InBody 570 will provide you with a results sheet that details not only your weight, but also your percent body fat, bone mass, basal metabolic rate (BMR), and more. It even provides detailed analysis by body segment.

This will allow you to get an accurate body fat measurement that uses a formula of dividing body fat mass by your weight. This is more accurate than the body mass index (BMI) calculation of only height and weight, which can label people obese when they are not.

Your first InBody scan will provide you with an extremely insightful baseline that will tell you what you're body is made of now. That first scan can then serve as a baseline you can use to gauge your progress over time to see how your body is responding to your exercise and nutrition habits.

And it's completely non-invasive, with no pinching or prodding. All you need to do is stand there and the machine does the work.
