From my point of view as a personal trainer, it is important to have a clear indication of a person's body composition, for setting a suitable training programme and for monitoring progress over time. I find that many of my clients may not change weight immediately, but there will be a marked difference in their body fat percentage as fat is gradually replaced by muscle. This helps to keep them motivated, and it also reassures me that the programme I have set is working. It is also particularly important to monitor hydration levels when you are trying to lose body fat or when starting a new fitness programme. De-hydration can be misleading. You will lose weight on a crash diet, for example - but it will be mainly water you lose rather than body fat. Hydration should be monitored as carefully as body fat to ensure that the body has a natural and healthy balance. Tanita monitors provide a really useful guide to this balance, and a good indication of health as a result. (Posted on 30/07/2010)
