My Body Composition

Went for lunch with a few friends just now to Ikano.

Had 2 servings of the Ikea Hotdogs.

Then, we went into one of the health/exercise place to get my body fat checked.

The person behind the counter, Rueben, was very helpful.

He offered a free body composition test, which all 3 of us quickly obliged.

Here are my results:
