$1 Body Compositions - Let a certified personal trainer determine your percentage lean mass and fat mass using the three-site skinfold test. It is important to maintain or build lean body mass while minimizing fat mass. The advantage of monitoring body composition as well as body weight is to see what kind of weight you are losing or gaining. The goal is to reduce the percentage of body fat, not necessarily just body weight. This method of testing is both an easy and accurate method for monitoring your progress. The test takes less than 5 minutes and will give you a good baseline measurement or show improvement.
