• Storing energy as Body Fat is an biological survival trait for frequent times of famine and leaning.
• However, maintaining excess Body Fat long term is a factor in heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, bone disease, low self image, pre-mature aging, and other unhealthiness!
  
  
• Body Fat Testing is Early Warning alerting you to avoid disease and measure improvement.
• Storing excess energy as Body Fat is a slow process so consider your Test and Report seriously!

• This method of Body Fat Testing is for people without experience and/or equipment.
• This tape measurement method is 3.5% (+ or -) as accurate as a hydrostatic water tank test ($50 to $100) and .7% (+ or -) as accurate as a multi-site skin caliper test ($15 to $25).
  
  
• All methods of testing Body Fat, including the Hydrostatic Water Tank, are estimates!
• Any changes in your Body Fat percentage (gain or loss) between two tests are accurate if you use the same test method consistently!
• A 1/4 inch is important to the accuracy of the BioFitness Tape Method!
• To be accurate you must take the tape measurement on skin and not over clothing!
  
  
• A high Body Fat percentage is a health risk and low fitness indicator. However, Body Fat does not indicate the cholesterol in blood or the plaque in arteries and over fat "fit" people have low risk factors.
