MEASURE YOUR BODY COMPOSITION

InBody devices utilize a special technique known as direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSM-BIA). In practice, this means they send small electrical currents through your body. These currents pass through different types of tissues, such as muscles and fat, at varying speeds.

By measuring the resistance to these currents, the device can accurately determine your body composition, including elements like your fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, and your body fat percentage. It's a quick and non-invasive way to get a detailed picture of your physical health.

The ideal body fat percentage depends on several factors such as your gender and age. For men, a rate of 10-20% is generally considered healthy, while for women, it's more typically between 18-28%. But remember, every body is unique, so it's best to consult your personal trainer to find out what's best for you.

To calculate your InBody score, the device uses a special formula that takes into account several key factors of your body composition. This formula assesses your total weight, the amount of muscle you have, and the amount of fat in your body. If you have a higher proportion of body fat, your InBody score will generally be lower compared to someone with less fat.

It’s an easy way to understand not just how much you weigh, but also what your weight is made up of.

To measure your body composition accurately and in detail, InBody devices are an excellent option. Here's how they work: you simply stand on the device and hold the handles. The device then sends low electrical currents through your body. These currents pass differently through various types of tissues, such as muscles, fat, and water. By measuring the resistance or impedance of these currents, the device can determine the amount of each type of tissue in your body.

These data are essential for understanding your overall health, planning diets or training programs, and tracking your progress over time. It is recommended to take these measurements regularly and under similar conditions (for example, at the same time of day) for accurate comparison over time.

To effectively reduce body fat, it is recommended to combine cardiovascular and strength training exercises. Activities like running, cycling, or swimming are excellent for burning calories and boosting metabolism. Concurrently, strength training helps build muscle, which increases resting metabolism and promotes fat loss. HIIT sessions (High-Intensity Interval Training) are particularly effective for burning fat in a short amount of time.
