Personal trainers, etc....in your opinion, what is the most attractive body fat percentage for women?

I am trying not to be so fixated on the number on the scale, and am wondering what the ideal is that I should aim for. I know "normal" range is like 18-24%, but I am more interested in what the ideal would be in your experience --- lean/peak fitness but not too thin or unfeminine. Thanks.

1. Great Question! personal preference 16-20% Nothing looks better than Healthy!
2. I think that completely depends on the person. Different people will have a different look at the same bf%. My personal goal is 15% but I want to have defined, visible muscle everywhere. If that isn't your thing, you definately don't want to go that low.
3. it really depends on their frame so people look better with a slightly higher body fat % than one that's too low. personally i'm a big fan of abs on women so anywhere from 13-22% works for me.
4. 15-20 %
