Bodyfat Checked Before or After Cardio?

[Short_Guy]

Out of curiosity, are there any positives or negatives in getting your bf% checked after a strenuous session of cardio? Does it make any difference (maybe in bleeding out some excess water?) at all?

Thanks for any input

I don't see how it could make a significant difference. Maybe checking it morning then night but not before and after cardio.

before cardio....you'll get a more accurate reading

Yeah, what temperoath said. When you do cardio your body starts to push fluid to the surface to keep your body cool. Therefore if you do a pinch test it won't be as accurate. You want to make sure you're nice and dry.
