Forget Body Mass Index (BMI)… your weight number hides more than it reveals!
Will Dahlgren of InBody USA, Amy Hudson, and Dr. Fisher explain why body composition is the real key to your health, why strength training is essential as you age, and why personal training should be guided by data, not just the scale.
-
Will Dahlgren kicks things off by sharing his backstory and what InBody USA focuses on.
-
For Will, BIA, or Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, tends to be the least invasive and fastest way to get a body composition measurement.
-
While a conventional scale gives you that one number (your total weight), body composition devices break down the different parts that make up your weight.
-
Will and Dr. Fisher discuss the "honeymoon period" of muscle-building and strength training.
-
Many people don't realize that being too skinny is a problem too. Being too low on body fat may cause several issues, including hormonal disruption and sleeping problems.
-
Will points out that the most common body type they see in America is the "over fat", though there's also an "over muscle" population.
-
Dr. Fisher points out that maintaining muscle and strength is our independence as we age and that engaging in strength training is absolutely the best thing you can do to maintain a healthy body composition.
-
There are instances where a body composition has strength improvements but their muscle mass doesn't go up – Will explains why that may happen.
-
Any small inflammation reduction, muscle gain or fat loss should be looked at positively.
-
BIA devices aren't about diagnosing but tracking, says Will.
-
Will, Amy and Dr. Fisher talk about factors to keep into consideration when tracking, as well as what to do to take your strength training efforts to the next level.
-
As we age, even just maintaining muscle mass is a huge win.
-
In Will's opinion, anybody who's looking to make a health change or make a change to their lifestyle should look at data beyond just their own weight.
-
Will lists some of the qualities InBody has compared to other BIA devices.
-
Amy sees body composition as a test that should be at the top of tests one could take to predict their future health and to assess kind of where they're at.
