It is easy to see how fit she is, but the content creator recently shocked netizens with her body composition results!
In the fitness world, one’s body weight is not the only measure of how fit a person can be. One of the most popular ways of determining a body’s fitness is through BMI index or body composition testing, which measures not only your weight but also your skeletal and muscle mass.
