WEIGH YOUR RISK WITH BMI OR BODY FAT MEASUREMENTS

 

Body fat measurement can be done in several ways.  In our office we perform infrared body compositions to determine body fat %.  This is used in determining a program that is right for you.

In general, males over 25% body fat need improvement or treatment.

In general, females over 30% body fat need improvement or treatment.
