Body Composition Analysis

Because I am Military I have access to a lot more resources than most others, recently I had a body composition analysis done. I found out that I am sitting at 24.2% body fat and I should be at 8-14%, and 75.8% Lean body mass. My goal weight should be 198lbs to put me at 14%, this is how I determined my goal weight. I am going to go back in 3months and get another test done to see my progress. If any of you get get access to having one of these tests done it is worth it.

 

Do those tests get done at the base and is it something that a military wife would be able to access? I would love to see my number- even though I ma sure it would make my want to vomit-!!! LOL

 

 I know that here at CFB Gagetown, any one who has a rec membership has access to this service. If your husband is Canadian Military than I would imagine he has a family package at the base fitness center. Otherwise I would call the fitness center at your husbands base.

It is great that you have access to that kind of analysis.  Its interesting and a good way to set a weight loss goal.  Make sure to keep track of this info so you can look back at all the progress you have made!  Good luck!! :)

I had one of these done when I was taking part in a research study.  Based on my composition they said I should weigh between 157 and 165 - which is a bit more than the average 5'6.5 person.  So, I agree - it was very informative!
