Body composition

Body composition is a collection of all of the tissues of your body.
Many people are concerned with body weight, but body weight is not the best way to determine health. A very muscular person could weigh more than a person who is overweight.
-Body composition measures percentage of body fat, that is how much of your body is made up of muscle and how much is made up of fat.-A typical person is about 15% to 25% body fat.-A male should be between 6% and 20% body fat.-A female should be between 11% and 25% body fat.
-Body fat over 30% for males and 35% for females is considered obese.
