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.
