RM, did you have to join to have the test done? There is a Lifetime Fitness about 30-40 minutes south of me and I've been thinking I need to get some more "information" in order to figure out how the he** I should be training. But haven't had much luck finding anything close to home and/or reasonably priced, and this sounds reasonably priced (unless I have to join the club, which I won't do because I already belong to the rink-a-dink Salt Lake City sports complex).

FWIW, I was reading a little about body fat today because I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around my numbers. Here's a snippet from one of the articles I was reading:

So what's a good score? That depends on whom you ask. At one health club, a tester told me that the "recommended" number for women is 22 percent. On his test, I scored 23 percent, which put me in the "average" category. "But if you lose 10 pounds of fat," he said, "you'll be in the athlete range!" I mentioned that I cycled more than 200 miles a week and competed in about 20 bike races a year. Did I really need to lose body fat in order to be "in the athletic range"?

The article made me feel a little better, anyway. Especially the fact that even the best tests have a 2-3 percent error rate (and of course the error will always be that the result is higher than reality, right?? ).
