I can now measure your body fat using Accu-Measure bodyfat callipers.
These callipers will give you an accurate measure (within 1.1% of laboratory standard testing) of your overall fat percentage.
We simply take one skin fold measurement at your hip, just above the prominent bone at the front.
This gives us a reading in mm (or inches) which we can compare to a chart (see below). This chart adjusts for your age as well as sex and gives an accurate measurement of your overall body fat.
You will be able to find out whether you fall in the lean, ideal, average or over fat category.
Body fat measurements are much more accurate then calculating your BMI or taking your weight on scales.
Go to Accu-Measures own site if you want to know more!
***For those of you who are interested in finding out your body fat percentage please email me at office@theringwoodclinic.co.uk and we can arrange to take your measurement at your next appointment.***
