Here's a cheap one: Sit down in a chair, poke your finger up your arse, turn three clicks to the right and count the belly rolls. Every roll represents 10% body fat. Partial rolls can be tallyed according to pinch diameter and assigned bf percentages accordingly. For instance, 1/2 roll represents 5% body fat. If you have problems removing your finger from your arse, you may have to add an additional 12% to whatever figure you came out with.

The only problem w/ self caliper testing is that unless your a skilled tester (100 or more tests) your %'s will vary, just as your did. If your really concerned w/ accurate readings try going to a near by University and offer yourself for health screening. Good Luck IWB | ||

Go to www.brookstone.com. They have a very accurate scale that also gives you your body fat%. For me it has been very accurate. It costs 160 dollars. ------------------ | ||

I have one of those Tanita bodyfat scales and it sucks! BF varies from day to day, even when taken during the same time of day, under the same conditions. |
