Standard body weight scales provide a measure of total weight, but don’t determine the lean-to-fat ratio of that weight. Standing on most scales can tell you only if you weigh more than the average person, but not if that weight is fat or muscle. Based only on scale weight, a 250 pound athlete with 8% body fat may be considered “overweight” by a typical weight chart. Such charts are not a good indications of ideal body weight for general health or for athletic performance.

I have trained for two Ironmans, but I’m now starting not to enjoy the extended training time, plus I don’t really like swimming! I am now going to focus on some shorter races and start doing some more high intensity sprints and tabatas, etc. I have fat just beneath my navel that refuses to budge, so I’m hopeful this new approach will allow me to bust through a plateau I have had for the past three-four years. Hopefully, my genes will get the message! Thanks again for all of your advice via this blog!
