Episode description

When it comes to evaluating body composition, measuring tape and skin fold calipers don’t provide a full picture. Your BMI doesn’t, either, because what we really want to know is what makes up the weight you see on the scale, where your body fat is, and whether that body fat percentage is healthy or unhealthy. In this episode, JJ explains how to more accurately assess your body composition, including the tools to use, the markers to look for, and ideal numbers for men and women.
