Follow these steps for accurate body composition measurements.

3.1 Taking a Measurement

1. Preparation: Ensure the scale is placed on a hard, flat, and level surface. Avoid carpets or uneven flooring. For best results, measure at the same time of day, ideally in the morning before eating or exercising. Ensure your feet are clean and dry, and avoid applying lotion before measurement.
2. Step On: Step onto the scale barefoot, placing your feet on the designated electrode areas. Stand still with your feet aligned.
3. Hold Handlebar: Grasp the handlebar firmly with both hands, ensuring your thumbs are on the thumb electrodes and your palms are on the palm electrodes. Keep your arms straight but relaxed, not touching your body.
4. Measurement Process: The scale will begin the measurement. Remain still and quiet until the measurement is complete. The display on the scale will show your weight, and the full body composition analysis will be sent to your InBody app.
5. Review Results: Open the InBody app on your paired device to view your detailed body composition report, including weight, skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass, and more.

• DOs:
  • Measure at the same time of day.
  • Use on a hard, level surface.
  • Stand still and keep your feet aligned.
• DONTs:
  • Measure right after exercise.
  • Use immediately after eating or drinking.
  • Measure with wet or lotion-applied skin.

3.3 Understanding Your Results

The InBody app provides a detailed breakdown of your body composition. Key metrics include:

• Weight: Your total body weight.
• Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM): The amount of muscle attached to your bones. Higher SMM is generally desirable.
• Body Fat Mass (BFM): The amount of fat in your body.
• Body Mass Index (BMI): A measure of body fat based on height and weight.
• Percent Body Fat (PBF): The percentage of your total weight that is fat.

The app allows you to track changes over time, set personal goals, and gain a deeper understanding of your health and fitness journey.
