Body Fat percentage

[BuddhaSMASH]

How exactly would I go about figuring out my body fat percentage???

You could get a fat caliper and then plug your readings from different parts of your body into a formula, and estimate it that way. Ive heard that the bodyfat scales are not good. The best way is to have how well you float tested, but that is probably expensive. Ive found a caliper to be fine for measuring change as a result of workout/diet though.

Use a tape measure and measure yourself around the belly(in inches), across your belly button. Then Measure you neck in the same way, across your adams apple.

Subtract your neck size from your belly size and that will give you a rough estimation of your bodyfat %

this is how they determine body fat % for entrance into the U.S. Military.

Most gyms nowadays will do this for you, for free.
