Skinfold Measurements
To accurately track your progress through this six-week program, it is necessary to take skinfold measurements.
By measuring yourself in this way, you will be able to determine your lean-body mass and your body-fat
percentage. The goal of this program is to increase your lean-body mass and decrease your body-fat percentage.
Please read this section carefully. Proper measuring techniques are essential to track your success. It is best to
have someone measure you. Measuring yourself can lead to inaccurate results.
