Advantages of Cloud Smart Body Fat Scale

Here are nine reasons every one can benefit from owning a cloud smart body fat scale:

Set and track workout goals

Tracking your progress helps you stay motivated and keeps you focused on achieving your workout goals. It’s so much easier to get results when you set goals – especially when they are specific, measurable goals based on your body composition (i.e. gain 5 lbs of muscle or lose 5 lbs of fat). If your goal is to lose weight or gain muscle, using a body fat scale to monitor your muscle mass and body fat will help ensure you're at an optimal state.

Monitor body fat

Increased training often results in the loss of body fat. While most of us can benefit from losing some body fat, you want to be careful not to lose too much. Too little body fat can result in muscle weakness, lead to fatigue, leave you prone to injury, and may cause amenorrhea in women.

Maintain muscle mass

Ideally, you want to lower body fat and increase muscle mass while training. If you’re muscle mass is decreasing, you should reevaluate your exercise program and add in strength training and/or plyometric exercises.

Optimize daily water intake

Body water ratios are higher in lean tissue than fat tissue. Knowing your stats is a good indicator of how healthy your body is. This is especially important for fitness lovers as they train because dehydration greatly impedes performance.

Properly hydrate on long runs

With a body fat scale, you can determine your optimal hydration for workouts. Simply step on the scale before and after your ecercise to monitor changes in your body water percentages. If you have lost a considerable amount of water after your exercise, consider sipping a sports drink during your workout to increase water retention.

Optimize calorie consumption

Proper fueling will keep you energized during the workout and help your body repair after strenuous workouts.

Track bone density

High impact workouts help build and maintain bone density. If your bone mass is reading lower than it has previously, it can be an indication of a problem.

Monitor weight

Somewhat surprisingly, one side effect of strength training can be weight gain. An increase in activity can cause an increase in appetite as well. If your weight is going up and your muscle mass is not increasing, it’s time to look at your nutrition plan and figure out what changes could be made.

Oversee your health from home

Having a scale in your home that measures your body composition saves you from trips to the gym or a lab to have your results taken. No appointment is necessary.
