With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

According to mybodycomp.com, I am at around 18.8% bodyfat. According to another one (healthcentral.com), I am at 14.1%. (It measures four sites on the body... Abdomen, waist, forearm, and wrist.) Could anyone tell me which one I should trust? Does mybodycomp.com sometimes read too high, or is it the most accurate tape-measure bodyfat percentage testing website out there? Thanks in advance! Colin

Just stick with the one you prefer and use it as a guide. -------------- Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press. Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada
