Using Calipers When Measuring Skinfolds

The procedure for measuring skinfold thickness is to grasp firmly with the thumb and forefinger a fold of skin and surface fat

and pull it away from the underlying muscle. Take the caliper in your other hand and open the jaws. Clamp the jaws over the

pinched skin and fat. The jaws exert constant tension at the point of contact with the skin. The thickness of the double layer of

skin and fat can then be read directly from the caliper, which is marked in millimeters.

Use these figures on the following chart to determine your

body-fat percentage and enter the number on the line

below.

Optional Picture Taking

Pictures can be the most exciting evaluation you can do. The

numbers and the tape measurements are great, but actually

seeing differences from comparison photographs of yourself is

quite satisfying.

Taking full-length photographs is not difficult, but to see the

maximum difference between before and after, you should

follow these guidelines.

1) Keep everything the same. Wear the same outfit, a snug

solid color is best, and have the person taking the picture

stand in the same place, with the same setting behind you.

2) Make sure you stand against an uncluttered, light

background.

3) Have the person taking the photograph move away from

you until he can see your entire body in the viewfinder.

4) Stand relaxed for three pictures, front, right side, and back.

Do not try to suck in your stomach.

5) Interlace your fingers and place them on top of your head,

so the contours of your torso will be plainly visible. Keep

your feet 8” (20 cm) apart in all three pictures.

6) When you get the film developed tell the processors to

make your after photos the same size as your previous

ones. This way, your height in both sets

of photos is equal and more valid comparisons can

be made.
