Daily Activity & Body Fat

Today I went for a jog on my lunch hour. It’s amazing what 15 degrees and a nice breeze does to your perceived exertion. Today felt much better than last week! I went with my two friends and they are much better runners than I and kept up with them and was able to actually talk while jogging. That is an accomplishment!

The woman I jog with told me this morning she calculated her body fat with calipers and came up with 19% +- 4%. Prior to using the calipers she was using one of those body fat scales and it pretty consistently told her she was 30% body fat. i could tell by looking at her she wasn’t and would have put her between 20-25%. Those body fat scales are USELESS!

Now I want to get me some calipers!
