Testing bodyfat

[baby1]

I know there are several ways to test bodyfat, and there are margins of error with them. Yeserday a trainer was testing member's bodyfat so I said what the hell and had mine tested. Well I was pretty happy to see mine was at the lower end of the scale fof "normal". At 43 years old, I was happy with the number but not ready to settle at it, lol!

Don't women have more bodyfat than men on average?

[baby1]

Yes they do. When women start getting below about 15%, they can have issues with there hormones. I do know that!

And men lower then 10%!

Yupp, testosterone and estrogen and cholesterol derived hormones...check out the molecular structure, almost exactly the same.

I think id be too afraid to find out... I love my beer and my waistline pays for it. Id guess around 15 to 18%
