Body Composition Testing

BodPod

BodPod Setup

I’ve always been curious to have my body composition test via an accurate method (water weighing, Bod Pod, etc) but could not find anywhere local….until today.

I did a Google search for “Bod Pod testing” and one of the results was an article from May 2009 that appeared in the Hamilton Spec newspaper.  It indicated that McMaster Univertisy has a Performance center with a Bod Pod, and that they do testing for the general public.  SCORE!

I called them up and I have an appointment on Monday Feb 8 @ 5:30 PM.  I’ll be bringing my OMRON Hand Held Body Fat tester with me.  Once I’m done in the Bod Pod, I’ll check with my OMRON to see what the difference is, then I can correlate between the 2 for future reference.

Currently, my OMRON is telling me around 24%.  I predict the BodPod will tell me around 26-27%.

Anyhow, I’ll report back on the experience & results Monday night. 8-)
