getting a dexascan and learning your vo2 max and resting metabolic rate can give you a much bigger picture of your health than the number on the scale ever could 👀
a dexascan looks at your bone density muscle mass and body fat distribution which can help you understand your risk for bone loss and how your body composition is changing over time 🦴
your vo2 max is essentially a measure of how well your body uses oxygen during exercise and is one of the best indicators we have of cardiovascular fitness and overall aerobic health 💚
your resting metabolic rate tells you how much energy your body needs just to keep you alive and functioning at rest including things like breathing circulation and keeping your organs working
these numbers are not about chasing a perfect body or obsessing over measurements
they are tools that can help you understand your health identify areas to improve and track progress in a way that goes far beyond weight alone💪
knowledge is power and understanding what is happening inside your body can help you make more informed decisions about your fitness and long term health🧠
