1. You need to see a recruiter. There is a formula that they use to figure out your bodyfat. They take your height and weight. Then they will use a tape measurer and tape your neck, abdomen (narrowest part between your belly button and sternum), and your hips (basically around your buttocks, they tape around your clothing). You can usually find a body fat calculator online if you want to try it yourself. But, the measurements may not be exact. I would love to say all recruiters are saints, but make sure that you have a female recruiter conduct the taping. If there is no female recruiter available, bring a friend to watch them conduct the taping.
