What is your body fat percentage?

Calculating body fat percentages online is only reliable to a certain point. After that it's based on common statistics. Everyone's body is different. Body Fat Percentage a good indicator of how healthy you are. Overall weight is not a good indicator due to your muscle mass and water weight (a bodybuilder would obviously weigh a lot more but online calculators would show him/her as overweight). There are a couple of options for measuring body fat. You could get a scale like the following: Tanita BF680W Duo Scale Plus Body Fat Monitor with Athletic Mode and Body Water or a Body Fat Tester like this: Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 Personal Body Fat Tester. I own both, however I purchased my body fat tester from Beachbody, through my online store.
