BODY FAT TESTING PROCEDURES: You will totally submerge yourself in water for only a few seconds. Simply count from one to five while underwater. You are in complete control. You need to bring a swimsuit and a towel. No T-shirts, leotards or thongs should be worn. Eating within 2 hours before the test may affect your results by up to 1 1/2%, but no more. Therefore, we advise you not to eat within two hours before the test. Working out and drinking water is okay. You should try to use the restroom and take a shower if possible. Also, please do not have large amounts of makeup, or hair gel on when taking the test. The water is heated to between 89 degrees and 94 degrees, depending on the season. The water is also chemically treated for cleanliness to meet all local swimming pool and hot tub requirements of the local health department. We also replace the water every night. A trained technician will be with you every second of the test. We have a private dressing room on board. For your comfort the lab is air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter. You may have a friend in the clinic at the same time if you wish. This simple 10 minute test provides you with a repeatable, observable, measurement giving you a realistic baseline. The test will be repeated in 12 -weeks!
