      The InBody uses BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) technology to quickly measure fat mass, muscle mass and body water levels in less than a minute. The subject simply stands on the device holding the hand electrodes.

      Lauralin Williamson and other health coaches trained in the operation of the scanner will interpret the results and provide a printout for future reference. The analysis measures total skeletal muscle mass, total body water broken down into intracellular and extracellular water, total body fat, total visceral fat, a segmental breakdown of each of the stats listed above (each of those numbers for each appendage and your trunk) and basic metabolic rate (aka – how many calories required for a couch potato?)  Bone mineral composition?

      This public service was provided to help monitor diet and exercise for a healthier community and has been underwritten by the Park County Library Foundation.

It’s The Grinch for families, meet the Grinch himself, hear the story, enjoy green treats, crafts and a photo op in Grizzly Hall; 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12.
