Test Preparations

Bod Pod testing requires some basic preparation. The accuracy of your results will depend on your adherence to a few basic rules:

  • Do not eat or drink anything for at least two hours prior to your test.
  • Limit activity prior to your visit. Do not exercise within the two hours prior to your test as elevated breathing and body temperature may interfere with your test results.
  • Schedule subsequent visits under the same conditions (time of day, hydration levels, etc.).

MEN - Form-fitting Speedo® or Lycra® / spandex-type swimsuit or single-layer compression shorts (without padding).
