Body Fat Calipers

BODY FAT CALIPERS

I received my body fat calipers in the mail today. I found a good website which provides a body fat calculator. I'm sure there are many more respectable websites.

Essentially I self-administered a test, using thigh, stomach and pectoral measurements. It was actually quite close to the results of my tanita scale. . . it came out to be 23.169% -- my most recent (last week) tanita body fat (5-day-moving average) registered at 25.6%. so within ~2.5% is close enough to me.

I think my real goal is to get to 6% -- below 10% is magical; but six percent (i.e., abs -- is still my goal :-)).
