Body Composition Testing

Body composition testing is widely used to assess body fat percentage and muscle mass.

If you want to get in shape, what you are actually trying to do is 're-shape' your body. A body composition test accurately calculates your body fat levels along with your muscle mass.

Your Ideal Body Fat Percentage

Females Healthy range: 23-30%
Males Healthy range: 13-20%

Your Ideal Lean Body Mass (Muscle Mass)

Females Healthy range: 30-40% (Ideal is 40%)
Males Healthy range: 40-50% (Ideal is 50%)

When your body fat levels are high, this testing provides you with a guide as to how much body fat you safely need to lose.

Increasing muscle mass helps you get a lean, toned body. Also, a higher amount of muscle boosts your ability to burn body fat.
