Experts agree that
body fat testing is a better, more accurate method of determining
your fitness level. The anti-obesity initiative started by former
U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. C. Everett Koop, has issued an advisory
stating that one's body fat percentage is the superior measure
of healthy weight. This announcement follows new research supporting
body fat percentage as an indicator of health risk. Using the
caliper skinfold method, you can learn your body fat and lean
body mass levels. Mini-lifestyle consultation with exercise and
nutritional recommendations is also included.
COST: $10 - YWCA Members / $20 - Non-members
