What Is Muscle Mass?
This function indicates the weight of muscle in your body. The muscle mass displayed includes skeletal muscle, smooth muscle
(such as cardiac and digestive muscle) and the water contained in these muscles.
Muscles play an important role as they act as an engine that consumes energy. As your muscle mass increases, your energy
consumption increases helping you reduce excess body fat levels and lose weight in a healthy way.
What Is Physique Rating?
This feature assesses your physique according to the ratio of body fat and muscle mass in your body.
As you become more active and reduce the amount of body fat, your physique rating also changes accordingly. Even if your weight does
not change, your muscle mass and body fat levels may be changing to make you healthier and reduce your risk of certain diseases.Each
person should set their own goal of which physique they want to achieve, and follow a diet and fitness program to meet that goal.
