As recommended in Body-for-LIFE and endorsed by the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation, Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Testers have gold standard accuracy to within 1.1% of underwater weighing results!
Since the majority of fat on the body is located directly under the skin, a very efficient and practical way to measure your body fat percentage is skinfold measurement - the scientific approach to the time-honored "pinch an inch" method and the most tried and trusted method of measuring body fat. The Accu-Measure caliper is designed to make this a very simple and accurate procedure that you can perform on yourself privately (or have someone perform for you, whichever you prefer). Skinfold measurement is technically simple to learn and perform. Here are a few tips:
Measurement Tips for the Accu-Measure Caliper:
~ Take all measurements on the right side of the body.
~ Measurements should not be taken in broken, damaged or unhealthy skin.
~ To grab the skinfold easily and correctly, make sure that your skin is dry and lotion
free.
~ Do not take measurements after physical activity or when you are overheated. The added
fluid under the skin may increase skinfold thickness.
~ Always use the same Accu-Measure caliper, and take the readings at the same time of the
day, for consistent monitoring of body and composition changes.
~ If you are female, avoid measuring during the menstrual cycle when there is
significant or noticeable weight gain.
~ Practice until you get consistent results.
