Getting StartedGetting Started

• BMR (body mass ration)– weight/2.2 x 24 = Calories burned per day at

rest

• Dietary Analysis

• Activity Trackerhttp://www.caloriesperhour.com/

Body CompositionBody Composition

• Body Composition: Refers to the amount of water, fat tissue, and lean tissue that make up a person’s total body weight.

• Body composition is much more useful than weight in determining a person’s level of fitness.

Body FatBody Fat

• Recommended Ranges of Body Fat

• <30 Men 9-15% Women 14-21%

• 30-50 Men 11-17% Women15-23%

• >50 Men 12-19% Women 16-25%

Body Fat vs LBWBody Fat vs LBW

• Once % body fat is determined the amount of Body Fat / LBW can be calculated

• Fat Weight Calculation =– Body Weight x % Body Fat = Fat weight– (Ex) 172 x .18 = 31lbs of body fat

• Lean Body Weigh Calculation =– Body Weight – Fat Weight = LBW– (Ex) 172 – 31 = 141 lbs of LBW

Determining Muscle Gain or Fat Determining Muscle Gain or Fat LossLoss

• After a period of exercise or diet programs the measurements are retaken.

• Measurements are then evaluated.• (Ex) Female 145 lbs 27% body fat

– 145 x .27 = 39 lbs BF 106lbs LBW– After a low calorie diet she lost 18 lbs 25% BF– 127 x .25 = 32 lbs BF 95 LBW

• Results show she lost 11 lbs of LBW and 7 lbs of BF.

• Not a good program

Determining Muscle Gain or Fat Determining Muscle Gain or Fat LossLoss

• (Ex) Male 220 lbs 35% body fat

– 220 x .35 = 77 lbs BF 143lbs LBW– After a 3 month long exercise program etc..– 205 x .28 = 57 lbs BF 148 LBW

• Results show he has lost 15 lbs. • Evaluation of body composition shows he lost 20

lbs of FW and gained 5 lbs of LBW• Program was successful
