hey ang is there an easy way for us to measure our body fat? or do we need one of those fancy machines? Nick's mom and i are trying to do a "biggest loser" kinda thing with his whole family.. but the problem is nick strangely has a bmi because he is so skinny besides the beer belly lol (he needs to build muscle but keep his weight where it is). do you have any ideas of how we can get a measure of our health/fitness besides percentage of weight lost?
ReplyDeleterojo or i can measure your skin fold thickness to get an accurate measure of body fat composition. a caliper is used to grab folds of skin.(this isnt a fun test) there is a formula that we plug the numbers into to see what body fat composition you have. if you have a skilled person do it, the results are pretty accurate. you can do a before and after for a comparrison. also, you can measure with a tape measure the circumference of different body parts. ex. your waiste, hip, tricep, chest, calf, thigh. let me know if u want to set up a date to take measurements! =)
