Aaargh! That nasty Body Composition Analyzer!!
-
Guys, let me warn you... if you wanna remain happy, be obliviously happy because true ignorance IS bliss!!
This morning, I went for my Physio appt and saw this fascinating machine in a corner.
I shoulda paid heed to the fact that if the machine was so wonderful, it would have been positioned right in the center of the room and not to a miserable corner.
I was all happy and cheerful, until I saw the machine, got curious, and asked if I could try it. Thoughts of that gym instructor using the stupid calliper test on me and labelling me under the 'grossly obese' category came to mind and I thought that now is the time to rectify the error and yes... emotional healing!! aaaah-harharharhar!!
WOE IS ME!!!
The machine, which is very accurate, painted a really bleak picture of my body composition!!!
I'm much too embarrassed to reveal details but suffice to say that I have a muscle mass that's slightly over 'Normal', (wahoooo!!!) BUT BUT BUT, yours truly also has a fat mass that is erm... well... er... let's just be positive about it and call it 'exceptional'. 
Saaaaad, man!!! All that working out at the gym!! All that happiness over clothes getting looser and what-not.
So, if you've never done the test, and you think that you've been too happy for far too long and need to get depressed for a change, go try the Body Composition Analyzer!
PS. kops, sgpork, I'm sure you're one of the very few who will ace the test!

Wow, you have to hold on to those bars means some kinda current got to pass thru all your blubber and divide it over your mass and then nicely display it on the lcd in front of you.
-
BTW, this is what that machine does :
"InBody 3.0 uses segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (SMFBIA) to measure body composition.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) sends minute electric currents that a patient is unable to feel. It measures biological impedance to measure body composition."
You can find this, and more info, in http://www.smitechasia.com.sg/product.php?selected_product_id=122.
Basically, it measures weight, body fat mass and body fat percentage, body water mass, lean body mass, BMI, Obesity Levels, Basal Metabolic Rate, Body Density, etc etc etc.
After the test, you'll basically get a feel of what your body is composed of! -

I was all chirpy this morning, Happiness Scale 8/10. After I had that analysis done, Happiness Scale -3/10.
Aaaaaargh! Machine probably hasn't been calibrated nor serviced!!! -
Hmm... I think California Fitness in Orchard has it. It's their relatively new acquisition. I think they put all their new members on it.Originally posted by BabyLover:interesting.. i wanna try.. where to try??
Other than that, I wouldn't know where else has it.
I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it at all... imagine having to pay for such lousy, bad bad baaaad news!!

Actually, has got metal sensors on the bars that you hold firmly in your hands - sensors for the thumbs, and elongated ones for the palms. And then, there are foot pads that you have to step on too.Originally posted by ditzy:Wow, you have to hold on to those bars means some kinda current got to pass thru all your blubber and divide it over your mass and then nicely display it on the lcd in front of you.
Just like that, and the machine can tell you a whole lot! -
