Finding Out My Body Composition With InBody At Hypoxi Knightsbridge
InBody is a detailed body composition analyser and recently I went along to Hypoxi Knightsbridge to get assessed. It was quick, easy, safe and painless but I found the results really interesting and helpful. After the age of 40 keeping one’s body in good condition becomes even more important and just knowing your weight and BMIÂ doesn’t particularly give an accurate picture of how healthy you are.
Your BMI (Body Mass Index) is the common method used to establish if you’re underweight, in the normal range or overweight and is calculated by dividing your weight by height. Though it has its uses it also has its limitations as it doesn’t take into account your muscle mass. This means that those on the muscular side can come out as having an unhealthy high BMI. On the flip side, you can get skinny-fat people who have a ‘normal’ BMI but their muscle to fat ratio is actually unhealthy.
BMI also doesn’t tell you if your fat is visceral i.e. deep fat that’s stored around your organs and thought to be particularly unhealthy or subcutaneous fat which is stored under the skin. Leading on from that your Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) is now thought to be a greater indictor of health than BMI.
InBody fills in the gaps that your BMI doesn’t provide and more. I had it done after a 6+ months of making a concerted effort to eat less and exercise more and I was really pleased with my results. Now, IÂ have a baseline to compare my future reading...
