2 the path to fitness is right at your own feet Figure Your Body Fat: Step On It America is a program based on the latest information about what works in weight loss. It also uses the newest body fat monitors to help you chart your progress toward losing unhealthy fat. The program consists of three steps to fitness: Take the First Step Figure your body fat, compare it to recommended ranges, and set realistic goals for improvement. Step On It Monitor your body fat regularly to chart your progress and as part of a routine personal fitness program. Step It Up Make changes in diet and exercise to change your body composition, not just your weight.
3 1Take the First Step assess your body Being overfat, or obese, has health risks. Obesity causes or aggravates a wide range of health problems from high blood pressure, to arthritis, to certain forms of cancer. The good news is that weight loss actually body fat loss can help prevent or control the development of many of these diseases. It s fat, not weight, that is a problem. Fit people come in all weights, sizes and shapes. Standard height-weight charts and Body Mass Index charts (BMI), that relate height and weight, may be misleading. Many experts believe that percentage of body fat is a better measure of physical fitness than weight alone. A person who is overweight according to height-weight charts does not necessarily have too much fat. The extra weight may be due to an above-average amount of muscle. On the other hand, a person can be overfat even if they are not overweight, if they have too much fat in proportion to the muscle in their body. Figuring your fat can tell you if you are truly overfat. Body Fat Measurement and Monitoring Until recently, measuring and monitoring body fat has been a complicated process. The most common methods required a trained technician, expensive equipment or uncomfortable procedures. As a result, it was not convenient for people to monitor their body fat on a regular basis, nor in the privacy of their own home. The latest body fat monitors from Tanita have adapted a technology known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). BIA is safe and accurate, and has been used in clinics for years. It is now available in home scale/monitors at an affordable price. These body fat monitors work by sending a low-level electrical signal through the body from two footpads on the scale/monitor. The signal passes more quickly through muscle than fat. Software technology in the monitor combines the readings from this signal with stored personal data (height, weight, gender, activity level). This information is converted to a body fat percentage number in a matter of seconds. Recommended Body Fat Ranges Once you have determined your body fat percentage, compare it to recommended healthy ranges: Tanita s Healthy Body Fat Range Under 30 years old Over 30 years old Males 14%~20% 17%~23% Females 17%~24% 20%~27% To determine the percentage of body fat that s appropriate for your body, consult your physician Healthy Body Fat Ranges If you re already in a healthy range congratulations and keep up the good work. Whether your weight remains the same or fluctuates over time, regular body fat monitoring can give you a more complete picture of your own body s fitness. It also can indicate how changes in your diet or exercise affect your body composition. If you need to reduce your body fat, a body fat monitor can be a valuable aid to help you track the results of your fitness program as you Step It Up.
4 2 Step It Up the plus and minus of the fitness equation Recent guidelines issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) confirm successful weight loss requires increasing physical activity and reducing calories. Changing your balance of diet and exercise can help you achieve a healthier balance of fat and muscle in your body. The Plus Side: Increase Physical Activity Exercise contributes to weight loss, and is most helpful in prevention of weight gain. It also can change overall body composition, by reducing fat while building muscle. In addition, exercise increases cardiovascular fitness. Start an exercise program with moderate activity, progressing to 30 minutes or more on most or preferably all days of the week. Exercise can be done in one session, or in short periods throughout the day that add up to 30 minutes. Choose physical activities you enjoy and can do regularly. Consistency is important. Walking is an excellent exercise because it is safe and accessible. Start at a slow pace, gradually increasing how long, how fast, how hard, and how many times a week you walk. In addition to planned exercise, increase everyday activities such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. It all adds up. 3 it s Step On It a way of life The Minus Side: Reduce Calories Most weight loss occurs by cutting calories in the daily diet. According to the USDA, you should restrict your daily intake of fat to no more than 30% of total calories consumed. To lose weight, the NIH recommends 1-2 pounds per week as a safe and effective goal based on an individually planned low-calorie diet. But the weight you lose will consist of muscle, as well as fat, unless you exercise. With proper diet and regular exercise you can lose the weight and increase your muscle mass. Monitoring body fat as part of your program can tell you if your exercise and diet goals are in step by showing how your proportion of muscle to fat improves. Even if your weight appears to remain the same from year to year, your body composition can change for the worse. The good news is that you can catch any change with the regular use of a home body fat monitor and make the necessary adjustments to your diet and exercise. Keep in mind that reducing body fat takes longer than losing pounds. Losing fat and keeping it off often requires permanent changes in eating and exercise habits. Monitoring body fat, as well as weight, can be part of those long-term changes, and tracking body fat percentage over time is the best way to measure any progress. So figure your body fat and step on it America!
