Measuring your body fat is a good way to define your level of health. The most accurate form of body fat testing to date is hydrostatic weighing, or underwater weighing. Unfortunately this test is not ideal, since it requires the subject to be accurately hydrated, it takes a lot of equipment, it takes a highly trained administrator, and it requires you to be weighed in a pool or tank.
The next most accurate method is skinfold calipers. You can have your body fat tested using this method at almost any local health club, rec center, or wellness center.
On the internet you can find many body fat calculators that you can use by just filling in a few dimensions and then clicking on the calculate button. If you would like to give this a try then we have included some links below for your use. Just remember that not every body fat calculator was created equal.
