What percentage body fat does shakira have?

She is toned and has definition but is not muscular.

    I found this link interesting:

    http://www.builtlean.com/2012/09/24/body-fat-percentage-men-women/

    I used this to approximate my own body fat %, and when I had it tested I was pretty close.

    Based on this I'd say Shakira is around 20%. Different photos look different, I guess it's the amount of air-brushing that's done. :)

    Brilliant. Just what I was looking for.

    You think Shakira isn't muscular? Really?

    That's more about genetics than body fat percentage though. The less body fat you have, the more "toned" or "muscular" you are going to look. What defines how that looks is the shape of the muscles under the fat. Three women could all have the same BF% but look drastically different because of how they are genetically shaped.

    They might look slightly different, but if they're all around 20% body fat, they're all going to look pretty damn good.

    I have a long way to go before I reach 20% body fat!

    I will have to wait and see how my body shape looks like.

    Just keep going, be as consistent as you can. You'll be amazed at the progress you can make. I was probably close to 30% when I started. Just over a year later, I'm around 13%.
