Measurements has is the keystone to modern science. For something to be successful, it must be measurable. Otherwise, how could one know if things are improving or otherwise.
My resolution this year is to be more healthy and to loose at least 4 inches off my waist line. Not a great achievement, but it is something realistic. So, to measure my success, a measuring tape will do. Happy to have one.
I have also been on a look-out to purchase a scale to measure percentage of body fat. I have searched the internet many times, to no avail. Visited some shops in 1U, Summit and Mid Valley - no, no such luck either. Could this be more elusive than getting another fuck buddy?
What bugs me is this. In Malaysia, there is a health craze. Gyms are mushrooming. Everyone wants to be on a diet, wants to look good. Well, that's actually good. Malaysians shall be healthier. So then, why isn't a scale to measure body fat be easily available? Surely, these people must be serious with what they do.
Or is this a simple example - some people do things for the sake of doing it, rather than why they do it? So many have complained - we work out hard, but we put on weight. To me, that's true. And that's right! Why? Simple - muscles have higher density than fat. So, the harder one works out, the more muscles they have, and the less fat. Naturally, that will mean that body weight will go up.
Body weight will also increase if we eat too much and build up fat. So, how do we know if we are on the right track? Measure weight and percentage of body fat! Please, I've seen friends going to first class gyms, but no one informed that. All those buff personal trainers failed to inform them what really matters.
Measure up! Wise up!
