👍🏻🌟 your body fat is very close to the respectable range. Seems like F45 is working for you. How do they do the scan? I’m thinking I need to get this done. 

*MAGIC!* It’s basically a big scale, you hold onto a couple of paddles & it probably pulses electrical currents & then determines muscle mass etc from densities of fat/muscle/bone etc. Apparently about mid-range in terms of sophistication & accuracy but the next step up requires a specialised lab. 

My goals this year are to change the 8 to a 7 on the kgs, and the 2 to a 1 on the body fat % 

Great goals! I’m heading in the same direction only about 12% behind you 😅😅 I’ll be happy to get below 20. Then the gloves are off! 🥊 🥊 I wonder where in Melbourne there’s a lab to test my body composition... there must be one at a university with a human bioscience or medical faculty. Maybe I could volunteer to be a subject in a study and get it done and followed up for free. 

Try DEXA scan - that’s the high end one. 

https://www.dexamelbourne.com.au/whole-body-scan/ “Due to regulatory changes effecting all DEXA providers in Victoria, whole body DEXA scans are no longer available outside of an approved research project. For a whole body scan we recommend using our Intelligent Body Scanner. The Intelligent Body Scanner provides a Whole Body Scan (via mfBIA) for accurate body composition measurement.” https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.14814/phy2.12354 “Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a well‐known and tested method for body mass and muscular health assessment.” Then I read the article... 🤓 I now know far too much about bioimpedance recordings and analysis. 🤔
