3 Reasons to Ditch the Scale for InBody Scans

Still using the scale as an archaic measure of your health? InBody scans provide a detailed assessment of your actual health by tracking much more than just weight.

“We are often too worried about what that number is on the scale, and not what makes up that number,” says Nate Monticure, the Athletic Center’s Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor “InBody allows you to see what percentage of your weight is fat, muscle, or water and connective tissue. It also lets you see how hydrated you are, how healthy your cellular membranes are, if you are inflamed or holding onto too much fluid, and whether your fat is concentrated around your organs or muscles.”

Even more, members then receive personalized recommendations on how to maintain or improve all variables measured. Each member receives a complimentary InBody scan, and here’s why you should schedule yours right now.

1 .Weight reveals little about actual wellbeing

InBody scans use an electrode system to read not only muscle mass, body fat percentage, and muscle imbalances, but visceral fat levels, bone mineral content, inflammation levels, cellular integrity, and water balance. Visceral fat levels are especially important, because even folks with “healthy” weight levels can possess deep belly fat that can be a major risk factor for chronic diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. Knowing muscle imbalances can help with injury prevention, and having a grasp of water balance levels can reveal if dehydration exists.

2. Tracks your progress from scan to scan

Does your scale tell you how much muscle mass you’ve gained in the past month? Or if your hydration levels have improved? InBody scans do. With detailed tracking and easy-to-understand insights, InBody helps you monitor your progress and make smarter adjustments to your fitness and wellness plan.

3. Compares your results to others your age

For those curious how their fitness findings compare to others of the same age and gender, InBody scans can provide those details, which can provide motivation for maintaining or improving fitness and wellness programs.
