Body Composition & The Difference Between Health and Fitness | Amir Mofidi

Todd is joined by Stark’s director of personal training, Amir Mofidi. Amir has been in the health and fitness industry for over 24 years, and during that time he’s acquired an eclectic and diverse body of knowledge, including on the topic of today’s episode: body composition. America has a severe body composition problem. We don’t know what a healthy body composition percentage even looks like, most people don’t have access to a good way to measure it, and our sedentary lifestyles do nothing but disrupt whatever progress we try to make. Together Amir and Todd encourage listeners to invest in measuring their body composition—using that as a starting point to achieve their health goals. They wrap up their conversation by outlining the ideal body composition percentages for males and females, giving listeners concrete goals to shoot for as they take this aspect of their personal health and turn it into a skill.
