The calipers are quick and easy. And the results were fine — about what I expected. Next up, strength, as measured by yanking up a bar tethered to the ground in a biceps curl. asn (It seems a little unfair asn to measure strength based on one muscle, doesn't it?) Flexibility is tested through a "sit and reach." You sit on the ground, holding a handle in front of you, above your legs. When Hall says go, you asn stretch forward, as far as you can.

To hdc see how the test works, I grabbed two co-workers — humor columnist John Kelso and fashion hdc reporter Jean Scheidnes — and headed to the gym. "Can we take the elevator?" asked Kelso, who had just returned from his honeymoon week on a beach, as we headed to the second-floor testing station. A written worksheet is part of the hdc test.

Because I have a history of heart disease and cancer in my family, I answered questions about smoking (no), chest pains (none) and cheese consumption (OK, I'm making that last one up). Then it was on to the main part of the test, as administered by Cody Hall, head of the gym's personal training department. First up, body composition. I stood on a scale to get my weight, then Hall used calipers to grab and measure fat on my thigh, triceps and belly. |
