Most people think weight tells the whole story.
It doesn’t.

Two people can weigh exactly the same…
…and have completely different:
• Muscle mass
• Body fat levels
• Visceral fat
• Strength potential
• Health risk profiles

That’s why we use the InBody scan at SPRY 365.

The scan measures:
✔️ Skeletal Muscle Mass
✔️ Body Fat Percentage
✔️ Segmental muscle balance
✔️ Body water balance
✔️ Visceral fat levels
✔️ Muscle imbalance patterns
✔️ Progress over time

And one of the most important things we track?
Muscle loss.

Because losing weight while losing muscle is NOT a win.

The InBody specifically helps identify:
• Whether weight loss came from fat or muscle
• Whether lower body muscle is underdeveloped
• Whether someone may be at higher fall risk

This is especially important after 40.

Because maintaining muscle is one of the keys to:
• Bone support
• Metabolism
• Balance
• Independence

The scale can’t tell you that.

The InBody can.

Facts About the InBody Grip Strength Test

One of the strongest predictors of healthy aging…
isn’t body weight.

It’s grip strength.

Research has linked low grip strength to:
• Increased fall risk
• Reduced mobility
• Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss)
• Loss of independence
• Even increased overall mortality risk

That’s why we use the InBody Grip Strength

Test at SPRY 365.

And here’s what’s interesting:

Average grip strength for women declines steadily with age:
• Ages 35–39 average ~67 lbs
• Ages 55–59 average ~59 lbs
• Ages 70–74 average ~52 lbs

The AWGS Sarcopenia Assessment considers grip strength below:
• 62 lbs for men
• 40 lbs for women
as a major warning sign for muscle loss risk.

This is why grip strength matters so much.

It’s not just about your hands.

It reflects whole-body strength and functional aging.

And the good news?

Grip strength can improve with intentional training.

Small test.
Big insight.

Have you ever tested your grip strength before?

Most people stretch their IT band incorrectly.

They twist.
They force it.
They lose alignment.

At SPRY 365, we keep it simple:
• Tall posture
• Controlled cross-over position
• Gentle lean
• Let the vibration assist

Because the goal isn’t intensity.
It’s effective positioning.

When done correctly, this improves:

Hip alignment
Stride efficiency
Lower body comfort

Small adjustments…

Big difference.

When you stretch, do you feel it in the right place… or just “somewhere”?

Sitting changes everything.

Especially your hips.

Tight hip flexors can lead to:
• Poor posture
• Lower back discomfort
• Shortened stride

So we focus heavily on this stretch.

On the Power Plate, we coach:
• Tall posture (no leaning forward)
• Gentle forward shift
• Glutes engaged
• Let the vibration deepen the release

This isn’t about forcing the stretch.

It’s about restoring natural position.

When hips open up…

Movement becomes easier.
Posture improves.
Walking feels smoother.

How much of your day is spent sitting?

The back of the arms is often overlooked.

But it plays a huge role in:
• Pushing strength
• Stability
• Everyday function

On the Power Plate tricep hold, we coach:
• Hinge position with control
• Elbows fixed in place
• Full extension and hold
• No swinging or momentum

Again — it’s not about reps.

It’s about control under tension.

That’s what builds real strength.

And over time, that strength shows up in daily life.

Pushing yourself up.
Stabilizing your arms.
Feeling stronger overall.

Do you notice weakness more in pushing… or pulling movements?

Most people rush through bicep curls.

We slow them down.

Way down.

On the Power Plate, we use isometric holds:
• Elbows stable
• Controlled position
• No swinging
• Constant tension

Because holding creates a different kind of stimulus.

More muscle engagement.
More control.
More connection.
And the vibration amplifies it.

This isn’t about momentum.

It’s about intentional strength.

Have you ever tried holding a position instead of moving through it?

Pushups on the Power Plate aren’t just harder…

They’re smarter.

Because now your body has to stabilize constantly.

We coach:
• Strong core before you start
• Neutral spine (no sagging)
• Controlled tempo
• Full-body tension

This isn’t just an upper body movement.

It’s a total-body stability exercise.

More muscle activation.
More coordination.
Less time needed.

That’s the difference.

Pushups aren’t about how many you can do.

They’re about how well you can control them.

Do pushups feel strong… or challenging for you?

This one can be uncomfortable.

But it’s incredibly important.

A tight IT band can affect:
• Hip movement
• Knee tracking
• Overall alignment

On the Power Plate, we coach:
• Controlled positioning on your side
• Supporting your body (not collapsing)
• Letting the vibration gently work the tissue

This isn’t about forcing pressure.
It’s about allowing the tissue to release gradually.

Over time, this improves:
Stride
Comfort
Movement efficiency

It’s not glamorous.

But it’s a game-changer.

Have you ever worked on your IT band before?

Your calves do more than you think.

They help control:
• Walking
• Balance
• Shock absorption

And when they’re tight?

Everything above them compensates.

On the Power Plate calf massage, we focus on:
• Full contact with the muscle
• Relaxation (not bracing)
• Slow, controlled breathing

The vibration helps increase circulation and release tightness.

Which leads to:
Better ankle mobility
Improved balance
More fluid movement

Small muscle.

Big impact.

Do your calves feel tight by the end of the day?
