This looks very interesting! I've always questioned BMI, so I'm very curious in what this would say.
Now I need a measuring tape!0 -

So I did all my math and I'm apparently 26.75% for my body fat.
I thought it sounded like a lot so then I googled body fat % and found this link
http://www.healthchecksystems.com/bodyfat.htm
I am apparently acceptable!
I think I'd like to get it down into the fitness range! (<24%)
That link is ok , but this one shows the range for different ages!

I did some additional research on this measurement technique and found that it yields a result that has an error rating of +/-4%. In other words, if your calculated result is 19% than your real body fat is somewhere between 15% & 23%.
Also, this method is NOT recommended for those that are severely overweight or those that are extremely fit.
I'm not trying to discourage anyone, but think that it is important to have all of the availble information.0 -
hmmm... i wanna try this later!0
