Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

NOTE

Body Composition vs. Weight Scale

The number on a scale does not accurately represent changes in body composition. Losing weight may not always indicate progress if muscle mass is being lost, which can negatively impact health and appearance. Losing muscle slows down metabolism, making it easier to gain body fat and increasing the likelihood of becoming ill. Body composition, including muscle and fat percentages, is a more important indicator of progress than just weight alone. Monitoring body fat percentage in addition to weight can provide a clearer picture of overall health and fitness progress.
