The truth lies in your Body Fat %!
February 9, 2010
Here at BodyForm we believe that your success starts with properly assessing your fitness levels and fitness goals. Sometimes it takes a reality check to make sure that these are realistic and appropriate.
I often find that a client will come into my office with their goal being to weigh a certain number of pounds without regard for their body fat %. After I gather the information to show them their body fat % and specifically how many pounds of lean muscle they carry they start to realize what is realistic.
For example:
I may have a female client weighing 210 lbs that feels she would like to weigh 135 lbs like she did back in high school. That is great but after measuring her body composition we see that she already carries 110 lbs of muscle.
If her goal to be healthy is to have a body composition of 25% fat and she does not want to lose muscle in her weight loss process. (Losing muscle decreases your metabolism and your bodies ability to burn fat.)
She will only be able to get her weight down to 137.5 lbs. If she loses weight by exercising and diet she will likely gain muscle in this process as well so her new healthy goal weight at 25% BF would be about 140 lbs.
This is difficult for some people to hear because we are all so focused on the scale.
The truth lies in the BF%.
Next time you start on a fitness program you should get an assessment including your body fat % to set realistic goals!
