Do you think this Bod Pod testing is accurate?
I posted this in the woman's forum with out any response so I thought that I would ask here.
I went yesterday to have my body fat tested using bod pod. There is a place close to our house and it was inexpensive($75 dollars for 2 sessions) and I just have not been able to get the scale to move, so I wanted to know how lean I really was. My thinking being, maybe I am really not going to drop anymore weight b/c it would be muscle.
Well, I was fully prepared for results any where from 25-20% Body Fat. I was totally shocked when the results came out at 10.6% I watched them calabrate the machine prior to the testing and they actually inputed my info twice running 2 seperate "testing sessions" b/c the opperator didn't think it sounded right. EVERYTHING I have read makes me think "no way this is correct" Woman at their leanest are somewhere around 15% bf
What are your thoughts???
Do I call them and ask about the accuracy of the machine??? (in general the machine is +/- 2%)
Ask them to test me again??
Don't worry about it and chalk it up to "just a number"?
