I was at Mid Valley when I stepped into a store selling exercise equipment and they had a body fat analyzer. The sales staff was friendly and encourage me to step on the machine for a reading. The reading was weight 70.7kgs and 19.3% fat. It is classified as good but I want to make it better. Time to hit the gym and work harder.

ish… my percentage was the highest
but i insist it was the weight and interference of my camera that i was wearing on my hip!
For the male fat is 10%.
Mine is 16% so i need to extra more hard.
I used to stay around 12.9%, but now… it’s a history to me, I think I am in more than 20% fat now, even though I go Bodyjam 3 times a week! I think I need to slave myself into BodyAttack soon, I would lose 5 pounds in just 3 classes.
Drownedglass,
You should have taken away the camera before going on the scale but then again, it would only add to the weight and not body fat! haha…
Chester,
16%? Not bad wor…
Eric,
Body Attack can lose 5 pounds in 3 classes? I need to go then!
Yes Eugene, I tried and It did work for me, but I need to get a pair of good shoes first, because Body Attack requires a lot of jumping up and down. Body Step is equally effective though…. and it shaped my butt perfectly.
Eric : )
and my knee hurts…
the pong-pongs… i wonder where does that come from. haha
What is the ideal percentage for woman’s bodyfat count?
