This multimedia learning CD takes you through the basics of resting heart rate, resting blood pressure (video included), height, and weight measurement. Read descriptions and view video clips to locate and measure ten skinfold sites and nine body circumferences. Formulas and equations for Jackson/Pollock and a seven-site body composition, BMI, and calculations for recommended weight ranges.

Here is what one reviewer had to say:
"It was well written, backed up with excellent examples along with videos. Really well done!"
