Reducing Excess Body Fat

The body is composed of fat and fat-free mass (such as bone, muscle, tissue, water). Total body fat is composed largely of stored fat and a small amount of "essential" fat that makes up cell membranes, nerve sheaths, as well as fat padding vital structures. Excess body fat is stored fat which does not support the body’s normal functions and can degrade one’s health and wellness. Excess body fat has been linked to various health risks, including; high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Additionally, excess body fat reduces one's physical performance by detracting from endurance, speed and stamina.

Reducing excess body fat is best accomplished with a comprehensive approach including healthy nutritional habits coupled with physical activity. Although not required, weight loss is often associated with body fat reduction.

Military Physical Fitness and Body Transformation

U.S. Armed Forces physical training policies and strategies are key ingredients in the design and development of the Flab-to-Fit Total Body Transformation Program. These military policies are designed to:

• Support combat readiness
• Establish and maintain service member’s level of physical fitness
• Achieve acceptable body fat and weight management standards
• Improve service members’ overall health and wellness
• Reduce unintentional illness and injuries due to poor physical fitness

With the exception of “combat readiness”, the remaining aforementioned policy goals can pertain to anyone and everyone. Just scratch out “service member” and insert your name and you’ll have relevant and viable health and fitness goals.
