Trifit machine for diet control

[anthonyL]

So guys, is this machine really accurate to improve your fitness program? it's like a computer that measures your fat percentage, how flexible you are and also blood pressure, even your strength and stamina, some schools use it for their athletes in sport programs, have you guys heard about it?






Something like this would be awesome to monitor your body daily and keep a tracked log of the results.

a good physical trainer will be able to give you a good guestimate as to your body fat simply by looking at you but the most accurate way is getting water tested, but even that can be off if the person has no clue what they are doing. i had a guy come by and do it to some of us for like $50. he measured by body fat at 11% which IMO at the time was too low, and my buddy came in at 16% which is funny considering he is leaner than me clearly. i mean he is a half foot taller and weighs 10 pounds less, yet he is 5% more body fat? makes no sense

bottom line is post up a pic and we can give you an idea of your body fat

I haven't heard of it but I know technology is becoming more prevalent in bodybuilding. I have seen Phil Heath using something like what you describe.

It's an okay measurement to use but take the results with a grain of salt. There is quite a bit of error whenever you measure things like body fat etc.

Rather then get hung up on the actual results, use the test to see if you are progressing in the right way.

For example, if the test says you have a body fat of 10%, you might actually have a body fat of 8% or 12%. However, in 3 months if the test then says you have a body fat of 8%, you know that obviously things are progressing in the right direction.

Im curious how expensive would it be to have something like that laying around the house
