This tool can be used in a flat place, resulting in accurate data. Data were analyzed descriptively using a t-test with a significant level of α = 0.05. The results showed that there was an effect of mixed-impact aerobic exercise on body fat reduction (p = 0.000) and there was an effect of vinyasa yoga practice on body fat reduction (p = 0.000). There was a significant difference between mixed-impact aerobic exercise and vinyasa yoga practice on fat reduction (p = 0.041). From both treatments, mixed-impact aerobic exercise had a greater effect on fat reduction with an average body fat pretest of 31,727 and posttest 27,653 with a difference in average scores. -The average was 4,074.
