Weight is an unreliable and deceptive indicator of the physical condition of an individual’s body. One true indicator of a person’s fitness level is the amount of fat vs. lean body mass. Learn more about your body and the health risks you face through the Burlington Area Community YMCA-YWCA Health Management System. This will allow you to set realistic goals in terms of weight adjustment, eating habits, exercise and lifestyle. The Health Management System has three modules:

1.  Basic Body Composition Analysis - will give you pounds and percentage of body fat and lean body mass and the total liters of water your body has and gives goal weight and goal body fat. Fees: Members $10     Community $15

2.  Personal Discovery Health Risk Analysis - includes a Health Risk Appraisal and a Fitness Analysis.  Included in the Health Appraisal are the following profiles:  Body Composition, Coronary Risk, Cancer Risk, Exercise, Lifestyle, Personal Health and Safety, Osteoporosis, Arthritis, Diabetes and Hypertension.  The Fitness Analysis includes tests such as:  Body composition, blood pressure, resting heart rate, abdominal endurance, grip strength, lower back flexibility, push-ups, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance.
