(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 15, 2009 ) New York, NY – When people are trying to get in shape they often think solely about losing weight. A better way to track changing fitness levels is to track the amount of fat lost instead, as someone can lose fat but still put on weight or see minimal weight loss on a scale. This has to do with changing body composition where fat is replaced by muscle. Extreme Body Workout offers a body fat tester to help users of extreme home fitness programs like Tony Horton's P90X better track their overall progress in losing fat and developing muscle.

“Weight loss is an over-simplified way to look at improving fitness levels," said Nina Bertolino, President of Extreme Body Workout. “Intense exercise regimens are about more than burning calories and fat. Programs like P90X are often designed to help the user either build muscle mass or create longer, leaner muscles through toning and weight training. That muscle adds weight to the body as it replaces fat, but the individual will still look better, feel better, and be healthier even if their scale doesn't show much weight loss."

Extreme Body Workout recommends that P90X customers use a body fat tester to monitor their initial and changing body composition. A simple caliper-style body fat tester can be used easily by anyone to check body fat levels before and during use of the P90X program.

"P90X users don't only need to make sure they're losing fat," says Bertolino. "They also need to ensure that the weight they're losing isn't lost muscle mass. By combining a body fat tester with their traditional scale, they'll get a better overall picture of their changing body and health."

Users of the P90X home fitness program have the option to purchase a body fat tester as an accessory to their P90X system. Extreme Body Workout's body fat tester measures body fat in either millimeters or inches and retails for $14.95.
