Well, I went and had my body fat tested using the Bod Pod. It was really pretty cool.

I had the Bod Pod and a fitness assessment.

My home scale with body fat measuring said that I was 36% body fat. I am extremely pleased to report that the scale is not accurate. The Bod Pod measured me at 29% body fat! Yippee!!!!

I'm still not satisfied with that number. I am hoping to get closer to 20% BF.

I highly recommend finding a Bod Pod near you if you want to find out your real BF%.

The fitness assessment showed that my aerobic fitness is "excellent" but I "need work" in flexibility. All-in-all very informative.

I plan on going back in 6 months or so and getting re-tested.

    Thanks AshBear.

    The Bod Pod test was $50 plus $30 for the fitness assessment. I've seen where a lot of universities only charge around $30 for the Bod Pod. To me it was worth it.
