  increased risk of obesity-related illness due to the location of excess fat.
• Skinfold Body Fat Measurement provide direct estimates of subcutaneous fat.
• Fitness Exercise Assessment determines your current fitness levels and

  serves as a starting point for your body's fitness. You can use this

  fitness assessment to determine your training requirements and

  goals. Then you compare your progress over time to the initial

  fitness evaluation.
