How To Measure Body Fat

Health And Fitness : Exercise Guide

You may want to measure body fat for a variety of reasons.

One of the best ways and easiest is to use something called skin fold pinching, using some callipers, then measure the amount of fat on the body.

There is are also other methods which are less accessible to the individual, for instance you can undertake a method that sounds quite scary but isn't - bioelectrical impedance.

If in any doubt then consult your doctor or gym if you have one - they often perform tests for things like body fat percentage before you join the gym in the basic fitness test.
