Body Analysis
T's provides body analysis measurements to assist you in recording and realizing your goal achievement progress. The body analysis breaks up your body composition in a few different ways. It will measure your fat weight compared to your lean weight (muscle, bone, blood and organs). This information is useful in your goal setting.
Taking this to the next level, your body analysis reading will show your body fat percentage; the percent of total body weight that is carried as fat. The following table, from the American Council on Exercise, explains the different ranges for body fat composition:
| Fitness Ranges | Body Fat % (women) | Body Fat % (men) |
| Essential Fat | 10-12% | 2-4% |
| Athletes | 14-20% | 6-13% |
| Fitness | 21-24% | 14-17% |
| Acceptable | 25-31% | 18-25% |
| Obese | 32%+ | 25%+ |
Your reading will also show your body's water percentage. To be properly hydrated, your body needs to be between 55% and 60% water. This is a very accurate way to determine if your weight loss is actual fat or just water weight.
The body analysis will finally provide you with an overall Body Mass Index (BMI) number. Your BMI reading is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
| BMI Categories | BMI Range |
| Underweight | < 18.5 |
| Normal | 18.5-24.9 |
| Overweight | 25-29.9 |
| Obese | 30+ |
If you're thinking to yourself, "There is no way I want to know my body composition!" Keep in mind the following: We are all unique individuals, with different body types, genetics and lives. Getting your body analysis taken is a great tool to determine your starting body composition and to track your progress on your personal health and fitness goals. Remember, it's not where you start, it's where you finish!
While performing your body analysis we can also take general body measurements and assist you in your weight loss tracking methods. We'll measure bust, abs, hips, arm and thigh. All measurements are confidential and are kept safe in your file. It's a great idea to measure yourself, especially if you are a scale reader. The number on the scale fluctuates day to day depending on your hydration levels alone - not to mention the weight levels vary at different times of the day, how long it's been since you last ate, the clothes you wear, etc. Keep in mind, when starting a workout program, you may even gain a few pounds because you are adding muscle - which weighs more than fat. The muscle, however, will soon eat up your excess stores of fat as your metabolism increases. This can misguide you into thinking that what you are doing is not working. The body composition analysis and measurements are better tools for properly assessing your true health and wellness levels.
