Your visit to the 'Bod Pod' requires just a little simple preparation for the most accurate result possible. This is especially important to those closely monitoring the changes in their body composition.
The measurement is taken in a swimsuit, preferably 2 piece for women, speedo type for men. (Don't worry, we have them available if you don't have one!) - Women may also choose to wear underclothes that are close fitting (lycra type).
Refrain from eating about 3 hours before your visit.
Wait at least 1 hour if you've worked out. The air in the 'Bod Pod' is measured to get your body density. Elevated breathing and body temperature may interfere.
Other helpful notes are:
Try to schedule subsequent visits under the same conditions... time of day, hydration levels, etc.
An individual coming in the first time should plan on spending about 30 minutes, two people, about 45 minutes. After the first visit, it only takes about 15 minutes.
If your appointment is scheduled first thing in the morning drinking some water is OK. You want to come in on an empty stomach, however normal hydration is expected.
Smile! This is fun and you get to see what you're made of!
