What is body composition
Body composition is the percentage of the human body's bone, fat, water, and muscle mass. Using these percentages, it gives a broad range of information about听the state of your body and how to set up goals to potentially prevent and/or maintain your body balance. With the analysis of the body's composition, it gives an in-depth insight听into your听overall physical wellness through the break down of each segment of the body.

Why is it useful?
Some individuals may be the same weight and size but have different activity levels. Take for example an听infrequent exerciser and听a weekend warrior. A BMI test may show the same scores, but the weight may consist of more muscle or fat.
This shows that they have different:
- Exercise needs;
- Nutritional needs;
- Health risks; and
- Fitness goals
By knowing your body composition you听can use it for motivation, accountability and/or doing more exercise whilst measuring your body fat percentage and muscle changes.
It gives you a snapshot of your current state and a measure of your overall health and wellness.
