Body analysis
What is a body analysis?
This test determines exactly what your starting point is as well as an excellent tracking tool to insure you are losing or gaining properly. (E.g. body fat, lean muscle, water, basal metabolic rate, impedance).

Interpreting your printout
- BMI
Body Mass Index is a height to weight ratio, and is calculated by the following formula: Weight (kg)/ Height (m2) Desirable Range 18.5-24.9 Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the most accurate ways to determine when extra pounds translate into health risks. BMI is a measure which takes into account a person’s weight and height to gauge total body fat in adults.
- BMR
Basal Metabolic Rate represents the total energy expended by the body to maintain normal functions at rest such as respiration and circulation. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in the post-absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about twelve hours of fasting in humans). The release of energy in this state is sufficient only for the functioning of the vital organs, such as the heart, lungs, brain and the rest of the nervous system, liver, kidneys, sex organs, muscles and skin. BMR decreases with age and with the loss of lean body mass. Increasing muscle mass increases BMR .
- FAT
A person's total body fat percentage is the total weight of the person's fat divided by the person's weight. The resulting number reflects both essential fat and storage fat.
Essential fat is that amount of fat necessary for maintenance of life and reproductive functions. The percentage for women is greater than that for men, due to the demands of childbearing and other hormonal functions.
- FFM (Muscle)
Fat Free Mass is comprised of muscle, bone, tissue, water, and all other fat free mass in the body.
- DESIRABLE RANGE
Healthy range for FAT % and FAT MASS. This range is printed only when standard mode is selected.
- TBW
Total Body Water is the amount of water (expressed as lb., kg or st.lb) retained in the body.
- IMPEDANCE
Impedance reflects the body’s inherent resistance to an electrical current. Muscle acts as a conductor of the electrical current, adipose tissue acts as a resistor.
- FAT %
Essential fat is 2–5% in men, and 10–13% in women. Storage fat consists of fat accumulation in adipose tissue, part of which protects internal organs in the chest and abdomen.
The minimum recommended total body fat percentage exceeds the essential fat percentage value reported above
. - TBW
TBW is said to comprise between 50% -70% of total body weight. Generally, men tend to have higher water weight than women due to a greater amount of muscle.
A significant fraction of the human body is water.
Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water by weight.
Blood contains 95% water.
Body fat contains 14% water.
Bone has 22% water.
Your skin also contains water.
The human body is about 60% water in adult males and 55% in adult females.
