Helpful Exercise Tips:

• Set goals. Write down what you want to achieve in the short and

long term.

• Make exercise a habit. Choose a time every day – even 30 minutes

– and stick to it.

• Vary your workout. Mix up your activities to avoid burn out.
• Recruit a friend! Working out as a team keeps you both motivated.
• Keep a success journal. Write down your activity, weight and body

fat percentage.

Through regular exercise you can lose weight by burning fat. With diet
alone, you lose weight by losing beneficial muscle and bone tissue.

Monitor Your Body Fat

You’ve already learned how important proper body fat levels are for
total health and fitness. Now you’ll learn how to find your body fat
baseline and get the maximum benefit from your Professional Body Fat
Monitor and Scale.

Every body is different, and ever-changing. It’s not uncommon for your
weight to fluctuate by as much as three pounds throughout the day.
While this is normal – usually associated with changes in hydration - it
does change your body composition slightly. That’s why it is important
to establish your personal baseline before you set your fitness goals.

The first 7-10 days you use your Professional Body Fat Monitor and
Scale, record your weight and body fat % in this chart. You will use
these numbers to calculate your baseline.

Finding your baseline is easy! 

Just total your weight and body fat %,

then divide each total by the number of days.
Baseline Weight = Total Number of Days
Baseline Body Fat % = Total Body Fat % + Number of Days
Once you determine your baseline numbers, you’re ready to use your
Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale to reach your fitness goals!
