    thanks guys - I'm going to go with you (and what was my gut instinct) and just carry on as I am

    I feel better than I have for years - with more energy than I have for years - so I can't see that I am unhealthy :)

    Thumbs up!

    PT needs to use his eyes and ears a little more, and his handheld BF device a little less.

    Those are highly inaccurate. If you use it then drink 32 ounces of water your body fat reading will change by up to 5% (depending on how hydrated/dehydrated you were the first time).

    she did it to me straight after a 1hr rebound session (35mins intense cardio - 10min warming up/cooling down - 15mins abs/derrier work)
    I'd also just drank 1L of water at the end of the session

    we so need a 'like' button on this forum ;)

    Exactly what health problems is it causing you?

    none - but when you get a slating/lecture from a 'professional' you do tend to panic a bit!

    Before you completely dismiss the concerns of the PT, could you at least seek the advice of your doctor?

    It may be easy to dismiss what she said and go with what a bunch of people on the internet say, but the difference is that she has actually seen you while we only have what you say and the picture you posted. And if you are on long-term hormone treatment, it may be masking whatever natural hormone changes there are in your body.
