Did You Move To Lose Today? Week 1 - Know Your Body!
Hey Everyone,
When working and losing weight it's always good to start at the beginning and have a plan. First thing to do is know your body
I know, I know some of you are saying do I have to 
?
Start by finding out your body fat percent. You can do this using several methods like:
Caliper/Skinfold Test - they are used to grab a fold of skin from 9 sites on the body
Waist to hip ratio - Use a tap measure and waist girth is divided by hip girth to determine a ratio
Men want to be 0.85 or below and Women 0,80 or below
Underwater Weighing - measures the density of the body
Bioelectrical Impendance (BIA) - electric current goes through the body to measure fat percent
Dexa - accurate X-Ray to measure your bone density and can also measure body fat percent
MRI - very expensive but accurate
BMI - common but inaccurate way to measure body fat
Tomorrow we will discuss more steps you can take to GET TO GOAL!
So my friends, Did You Move To Lose Today and or Maintain? Come on in and share and inspire and get it DONE
I will be doing a ton of yard work and getting the back yard ready for summer so lot's of bending, squats, lifting and a great workout with nature!!!
Take care,
Kathy

Kathy,
I walked today at lunch with a co worker; did not feel like it as the weather was wet and cold. I ran 3 miles yesterday and did a water aerobics class in the evening; I am feeling alittle tired today!
I did a body fat test at a womens health fair a few months ago; I do not remeber the exact number but was in the healthy range. I do not know how accurate it was as I am 187 pounds, active but still thought the number I got was probably not terribly accurate.
