An InBody scan is a non-invasive body composition analysis that uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to measure your body's fat mass, muscle mass, and water content, providing a detailed breakdown beyond just weight on a scale. It works by sending weak electrical currents through your body to measure resistance (impedance), which differs between fat and lean tissue, revealing important metrics like visceral fat, muscle imbalances, and basal metabolic rate (BMR) to help track fitness progress.  How it works BIA Technology: You stand on a platform and hold handles, sending harmless electrical currents through your body. Resistance Measurement: Tissues with more water (like muscle) conduct electricity easily (low resistance), while fat tissue offers more resistance. Detailed Analysis: The InBody device uses multiple frequencies to differentiate between water inside and outside cells, providing precise data on different body parts.  What it measures Muscle & Fat: Skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass, and fat percentage. Water: Total body water, with insights into intracellular (inside cells) and extracellular (outside cells) water. Visceral Fat: Fat surrounding your organs, a key health indicator. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Calories burned at rest, helping with diet planning. Segmental Analysis: Muscle and fat distribution in your arms, legs, and torso, highlighting imbalances.  Why it's used Track Progress: Monitor changes in body composition over time, proving progress beyond just weight. Personalized Plans: Helps create tailored nutrition and exercise programs. Health Insights: Offers a comprehensive snapshot of your health, used in fitness centers, clinics, and research.
