Great video to help people invert their flawed view of weight . body composition is much more important. also dehydrated muscles will make you look fatter even though you'll weight less.
i love this purely for the visual aid, i've lost 23lb so on my way to losing 5 of the 5lb body fat size chunks that's awesome to me and a great motivator! Thanks for that.
Congrats! Exactly what i have been trying to tell people for years! It's NOT what the scale says but how much fat vs. muscle one has. Two people can be the exact same height and the same weight, one may be "heavy set" and the other one would be toned. Another hint. Muscle is 70% water while fat is only 40%. Drink more water!
thank you so much for this video, really helped answer my worries. i've started this program p90x. i've work very hard and started to see muscles for the first time but i only use the scale for my measurement and my weight is still about the same. i was worry i did something wrong.
@jsmith2113abc I don't recommend throwing away the scale - we still use it as a measure, however a $27 fat monitor is based on your hydration status and is not a good unit of measure either. If you drank alcohol the night before or just drank coffee, you would be dehydrated and measure completely different. Body fat calipers done the same way and consistently is the BEST measure of body fat and health.
So, are you saying that if i work out on one part of my body and don't work the other, the one that i worked will be smaller than the one i didn't. Would this be called spot reduction?
@NubianPrince8 . No, you misunderstand. First, there are several factors here. What kind of "working out" are you doing? Are you resistance training (heavy or light), are you doing cardio, intervals, the list is endless. This is NOT spot reduction. This video is teaching you that fat takes up 1/3 MORE space than muscle. That exercise AND nutrition is key to reducing. As you develop more lean muscle, you will burn more calories OVERALL. There is no such thing as spot reduction.
Yes, i know its an old post but I just saw it. "exercise AND nutrition is key to reducing." And in all truth it is realistically about 75-80% diet and only 20-25% exercise.
Good! Here's another one for you - If you drink a pint of water (which weighs one pound), are you fatter? No, just less thirsty. Remember that the scale is just one measure to track but not a true measure of health! Have a great day.
is it possible (i no this a stupid question!) to gain more muscle in differnt areas of the body (perticularly the butt). Like for as example if i work my bottom half more then my top half isnt my bottom have suppose to get bigger then my top half?
Yes and no. First, you cannot develop muscle without doing anything. So, if you are not working your upper body, it will not develop muscle. Second, as you train your lower body you will develop muscle (which will burn more fat) and you will take up less space (fat takes up 3 x more space than muscle -see video again). Your bottom half will lean out (if you are eating clean and not high fat) and actually become smaller, not larger. Remember, nutrition is an important part of this.
I just joined the gym n i noticed that I put on 2 kilos and I look thinner thanks for this

Instead of "just" throwing away our scales, what about buying a Fat Monitor like the Omron HBF-306CN for $27 on Amazon
