Body fat percent: While having too much fat may be unhealthy, having too
little can be just as unhealthy. Tracking your body fat percent lets you
know you're losing the "right" weight.
Visceral fat level: Visceral fat is found in the abdomen surrounding your
vital organs. Since it's not visible to the eye, it can go undetected.
Excess of visceral fat may lead to high cholesterol, heart disease and type
2 diabetes.
Skeletal muscle percent: The more skeletal muscle you have, the more
calories your body will burn. Why? Because muscle burns 22% of all calories
- more than anything else. So, while dieting and exercise is important,
maintaining or building skeletal muscle is important to prevent rebound
weight gain and maintaining strength.
Resting metabolism: Regardless of activity level, a minimum level of caloric
intake is required to sustain your body's everyday functions. Knowing your
resting metabolism will help you properly plan your diet according to your
weight loss or maintenance needs.
Body age: A great yardstick of overall body condition, this number
translates the fitness indictors into a measure of your body's physical age.
If this number is less than your actual age, you're doing great!
Body weight: Still an important standard of fitness, especially in
combination with other fitness indicators.
Body Mass Index (BMI): BMI is a number calculated from your weight and
height. Although it does not measure fat directly (like body fat percent)),
it can be used as a screening tool to identify possible health concerns.
