They've got some health checks available at work. Do your height, blood pressure and resting heart rate then stand on a set of "scales" which then measures body fat etc. My blood According to them I was carrying 31.2kg of body fat with a body fat percentage of about 32%. My "metabolic age" (ie actually how old was body) was 57         

Now I'm not in perfect shape, but I don't think I'm carrying over 60lbs of body fat    Oh yes and my ideal weight is about 80kg (176lbs - about 12st 8lbs). The only way I'm going to get to that weight is either by severe food poisoning, or by losing a leg            

The past few weeks I've been hitting the gym on a morning just doing a bit of cardio and a bit of ab and leg work. Only 30-40 mins. Did the check last Friday and  while I have gained a kg in weight my body fat has gone down to about 29kg. And my "metabolic age" is now 49.

I am somewhat cynical of the measures done by the scales, as for a proper measure of body fat you need to do a full hydrostatic weighing and need proper ECG etc to get the proper state of your heart. However, I'm using the machine measures as a guide/ indication (which is what I think of them as) of how I'm doing and its looking good.      

My BMI however (that measure that people put so much faith in) is 34!! SO I'm at massive risk of coronary heart failure, liver problems, Type 2 diabetes etc. Now for those who know me, yes I need to loose a little weight, but I don't think I'm going to keel over from heart failure.

So for anyone using BMI, or bady fat %s, remember they are only indicators and don't get too wrapped up in the figures themselves. In the end, it's how you feel     

Right, off to the gym now
