- i got it done at my gym.
- check out this site:my-calorie-counter.com, it's a free site, you do have to register. But once you are registered it has a tools tab you can click on and one of the tools is a body fat percentage calculator. There are many others as well .
- accu-measure fat calipers work great and you can do it by yourself so its more comfortable. here is a link to there site, I use them all the time to track results: http://www.accumeasurefitness.com/
- Simple hand calipers are one of the cheapest and most accurate ways of measuring bodyfat percentage, when done correctly. You can get a pair for $8-10. Here is one site that shows you how to measure: http://www.linear-software.com/online.html#men Good job for knowing BMI is bunk and useless for most people. The most accurate way of determining BF% is total water immersion, or hydrostatic testing, the second best way is hand calipers. Impedence scales and online charts don't help at all.
