Body fat

Hi would like to know how to calculate body fat?


Please advise

ther is some nice calculators on the net. here try this one. www.exrx.net/Calculators/BodyComp.html

do i need to be exact with the other information too? Like besides age and weight, should the triceps, quads and pecs etc fields also be filled out?

you will need a caliper to messure each part. check the net they will show you how to make mesurements.

there is also a post on this. do a search and youl find all the info you need.

yes. what's the point of not being accurate with the skin fold measurements? then somebody could just as guesstimate you to be 37%, hypothetically.

point taken!

thanks

Hello: regarding the precise measurement of Subcutanious bf. The Gold standard is the Water Tub.This is usually available at a University physical education program.Also theres Cat Scan Hexa Scan,this is a medical test to measure bone density,muscle mass, Body Fat. the 3rd is Calipers,but you have too get am experienced technician.Some people get Liposuction and there is little bf on the abdomin ,but the rest of the body is obese/excess. IN my honest opinion Get a good Mirror and a good trainer and ask for an honest evaluation.
