The bodyfat analysis
How to reach your ideal body type and improve your health
Being fit has many advantages, from helping you to control your weight to giving you a better night
sleep. Most important of all, there is impressive and mounting evidence that people who exercise regu-
larly, and in the right way, are less prone to killer diseases such as heart attacks and strokes and live
longer than people who do not exercise.
To reach the ideal body type for your personal health pay attention to the part of fat in your body.
Fundamentally you can say someone with a lower body fat is healthier and has got more endurance.
Naturally it is possible to exaggerate here. A figure with not enough body fat is in the same way un
-
healthy as it is a person who has got too much.
If you watch your body fat you can reduce or increase your weight according to measured values by
taking in more or less calories (ask a specialist for more information).
Therefore it is important to watch continuously the pulse frequency during your exercise
To reduce the body fat you must do your training in an aerobe zone. (this means within 50%-70% of
the maximum pulse.
Usually the individual part of body fat will be given as a percentage of the total body weight.
Weight reduction should happen by reduction of body fat and not by reduction of muscle mass or water.
