3. Body mass index, or BMI, is a new term to most people. However, it is the measurement of choice for many physicians and researchers studying obesity. BMI uses a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person's height and weight. BMI equals a person's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. (BMI=kg/m2). You can read up on it, view charts, and use a BMI calculator at http://www.consumer.gov/weightloss/bmi.htm to determine your healthy level.
4. I think thats good for body fat, but imo it also depends on how much you weigh. Lets say your 6'2-6'3 and you weigh like um 190 pounds, then 11% would be pretty good cause chances are your mainly muscle. Now granted your 14, but you get what i'am saying.
