Have you ever been frustrated at how little fitness apps and scales can tell you about your own incredible and unique body?

A 2016 study reveals a close relationship between increased abdominal fat and a higher risk of developing chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease. If you are focused on shedding some weight to improve your health, you should keep a close eye on your body composition. Your body composition is the percentage of core components in your body, such as fat, protein, minerals, and body water.

One of the best ways to have honest and productive conversations about a client's overall health is to show them an analysis of their body composition. This analysis determines how much of their body is fat and how much is muscle. The results of these analyses can be used to create personalized fitness plans that drive the results that your clients want to see. 

Do you really know what you are made of?
