What BodyFat Percentage Are You?

Wow, what a personal question, huh? I know that in the TT challenge I did and the forums I participate in, people regularly report their bodyfat % from various methods of measuring - scale, caliper, immersion, DEXA. It's impossible to compare, as every method gives different results, and the rational in my mind is mostly to measure progress and my own personal milestones as opposed to considering it "fact"...

Leigh Peele, author of Fat Loss Troubleshoot and Metabolic Repair Manual, has created a video/slideshow where she walks through how you can visually estimate body fat, and what she looks at when doing so. Of course it is an art, not a science, but it is an interesting exercise! Also, she talks alot about fat vs muscle and how 15% BF can look completely different on two different people and why.

Here is the link if you are interested in viewing this 25-30 minute video/slideshow...

I have her manuals, as I mentioned, and they were VERY thorough and very interesting - I'll have to do a full write up/review at a later date, but here you can find one done by a shrewd fitness friend, Skwigg: Click here to visit Skwigg's blog

The body fat percentage is a measure of fitness level, since it is the only body measurement which directly calculates a person's relative body composition without regard to height or weight.
