    same here, I haven't measured by I know my body fat is probably high. For both body fat and bone density I recommend strength training, it does wonders to the body.
    you can check NROL4W..

    Start a progressive lifting program - Stronglifts 5x5, Starting Strength, New Rules of Lifting for Women, Strong Curves, etc. And make sure your diet supports this with adequate protein, fats and carbs.

    ^^^ This. Ditch the scale (going by your profile picture), eat at a deficit (small deficit, like -250/day or 1/2lb per week), and lift.

    Freaking inner body fat... as if the world didn't have enough to worry about!

    Good news though, fat is fat, the body will use it when it needs it so just be active and eat well. I think most people have come to terms with the fact that a little weight lifting can help sculpt a body and make it look great but there's nothing about the process that will burn invisible fat more than the visible stuff.

    If you are going to lift than heavy lifting is definitely where it is at. I'm so glad the era of girls going to the gym and slinging 2.5 lbs dumbbells around is finally coming to an end!

    Have Fun!
