Case Study $1$

Steven is a $42-$year$-$old attorney, you worked with last week. You determine his height, weight, and percent body fat to be $6^{\text{'}}{1}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ and $257lb,$ and $34\%$ BF$,$ respectively. Steven is shocked by the body size and composition results, is determined to get down to $15\%$ BF by dieting and walking, and pledges to you that he will also quit his $21-$year smoking habit. As his personal trainer, you need to:

Calculate BMI

Determine BMI classification

Determine current percent body fat classification.

Calculate fat weight in pounds.

Calculate fat$-$free $($lean$)$ weight in pounds.

Estimate how much would the bodyweight would be if achieved a percent body fat of $15\%?$

Determine what is a reasonable time frame for achieving this goal $($based on ACSM's guidelines$)?$
