Triceps

1) Begin by locating the flat bone on the back of your shoulder (this is a
diagonal or slanted flat spot you can feel), and by locating your elbow
as shown in this picture. Draw an imaginary line between these two
points.

2) Find the midpoint between the flat bone and elbow and straighten out
your arm as shown in the picture. P inch the skin and fat in a vertical
fold (up and down) along your triceps as shown.

3) Now pinch the skin and fat you are holding with the supplied calipers
(do not let go with fingers). Make sure that calipers are perpendicular to
body/skin. 4) Wait until the calipers stop moving and record the number
shown
Hip
1) Begin by locating your hip bone and follow it until you find the upper
edge known as the Iliac Crest (right about where I am pointing in this
picture).

2) Pinch the skin and fat in a diagonal angle \ using your fingers as
shown.

3) Now pinch the skin and fat you are holding with the supplied calipers
(do not let go with fingers). Make sure that calipers are perpendicular to
body/skin. 4) Wait until the calipers stop moving and record the number
shown.

Thigh
1) Begin by holding on to a wall or desk with your left hand and cross
your right leg over your left leg.
2) Locate the beginning of your thigh and locate your knee as shown in
this picture. Draw an imaginary line between these two points and find
its midpoint.

3) Pinch the skin and fat in a vertical fold (up and down) along the
length of your leg with your fingers as shown.

4) Now pinch the skin and fat you are holding with the supplied calipers
(do not let go with fingers). Make sure that calipers are perpendicular to
