Body composition is what you see when you look at someone. At Digital Barbell we believe that improving your body composition is important to your health and longevity... after all, a healthy "looking" body is usually a thriving body. We control body composition by manipulating two variables: muscle and fat. In today's episode, we dive into the five pillars that you can use to improve your body composition and thus improve your well-being.
