#53 - The Better Indicator of Health: BMI vs Body Fat %
Description
In this solo episode, Coach Vinny dives into the debate between BMI and body fat percentage as indicators of health. He breaks down the origins and uses of BMI, explaining why it was never intended to assess individual health but is still widely used. He then highlights the benefits of using body fat percentage for a more accurate and personalized understanding of health, especially for athletes, bodybuilders, and anyone focused on improving fitness.
Coach Vinny shares his personal experience with body fat tools and explains why he believes body fat percentage gives a clearer picture of health risks like cardiovascular disease and diabetes, while also providing better progress tracking for fitness goals.
