Bodyfat Test
I decided to get my bodyfat tested over the weekend as I hadn’t had it tested in a while. Last time I had it tested, the trainer used the calipers and my bodyfat came out to 7%, about 3 weeks before my competition. Wasn’t sure how I’ve been doing lately, so wanted to get it measured to find out…
They no longer use the calipers at my gym, so the only test available was the bodyfat scale, which I’ve found to be very unreliable in the past. But, as it was the only option I had the test done anyway. Got on the scale, my weight reading was accurate, and then the bodyfat reading came up as “LO”. The trainer said to me, “you should be hospitalized”!!! LOL!!! She said my bodyfat was too low for the scale to measure it. She looked it up in her manual and it said that a reading of “LO” indicates a bodyfat of between 2 and 4%. I HIGHLY DOUBT that I am anywhere near to being that low, but thought it was pretty funny anyway!
