(See getdunked.com for locations.) My score 23 percent bod pod How this method works or Wearing a swimsuit and or swim cap, you stand on a scale and then sit in a sealed, windowed, 5-foot-tall chamber. Pressure sensors determine your body volume by measuring the amount of air your body displaces. (This is similar to underwater weighing, which measures how much water your body displaces, but the process is quicker and more comfortable.) Accuracy Although the method is relatively or new, some two dozen published studies suggest the Bod Pod is as accurate as underwater weighing and DEXA are. However, it's crucial to cover your hair with a swim cap and to wear nothing but a swimsuit because hair and clothing can trap air, causing the machine to underestimate your body fat. Body and facial hair in men have been shown to skew the results by 1/2-1 percent (beyond the normal 2-3 percent margin of error). Cost About $40-$75 Where you can get tested With a price tag ranging from $20,000-$32,000, the Bod Pod is available primarily at universities and hospitals, although some gyms have made the investment.
