Question

your friend emily has just started a new fitness program and wants to know if a scale is a good way to track her progress. give your opinion and justify your response with examples from this lesson.

Explanation:

A scale can measure weight, which is one aspect of fitness progress. For example, if Emily aims to lose fat, a decrease in weight on the scale can indicate progress. However, muscle weighs more than fat. So, if she's building muscle through strength - training in her fitness program, the scale may not accurately reflect her overall fitness improvement as she could gain muscle mass while losing fat, resulting in little to no change or even an increase in weight. So, a scale is a limited but useful tool for tracking fitness progress.

Answer:

A scale can be a useful but limited tool for tracking fitness progress. While it can show weight changes which may indicate fat - loss in some cases, it doesn't account for muscle gain and other aspects of fitness like increased strength or endurance.
