Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 Can anyone tell me how exactly to use skin fold calipers to accurately measure body fat? I bought some a couple of years ago, never used them, and apparently threw the instructions away. Thanks Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 You want to pinch only skin and not muscle. Measure an inch above your right hip bone, then take the second measurement half way between your knee and the top of your leg. The last measurement will be on the back of your right arm. Measure half way between your elbow and shoulder. Then go to this site <A HREF= " http://www.physicalenhancement.com/bfcalc1.htm## " >FitnessCalculators - Physical Enhancement</A> and put the numbers in to get your bodyfat percentage. ~Laury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
