Exercise Advice - Monitor Your Body Fat Levels For Results!
 A
very important aspect in really finding out if you're on the right
track or not, is to monitor your body fat levels. Go to your local
sports store and buy some body fat calipers to test your fat levels.
Record these levels along with your body weight each week and start
to monitor these changes. You want to make sure you're building
quality muscle mass and burning that extra body fat.
By monitoring the changes of your lean body weight, you will be
able to tell whether or not you are replacing adipose tissue (fat)
with hard earned muscle. Lean body weight (muscle) can be found
by subtracting your body weight with your body fat weight. You body
fat weight is calculated by multiplying your weight with your body
fat percentage.
Tips on measuring your body fat levels:
- Take all measurements on the right side of your body.
- Carefully identify and recall your measuring site for accuracy.
- Take the measurement when skin is dry and lotion-free.
- Do not measure immediately after exercise due to shifts in body
fluid.
