What is a Healthy Body Fat Percentage?
|
The measurements need to be
accurate to within 0.5cm or 0. 25 inches (centimeters tends to produce the most
accurate results) and should be taken as follows:
- Height: taken without
shoes
- Neck: taken below
the larynx sloping slightly downward at the front
- Waist: for men at
navel height, for women at the smallest point
- Hips: (women only)
at the largest point
