What is your body fat percentage
It is important that body fat percentages are kept within a healthy range.
For females:
Up to age 30, 20-26%
31 to age 40, 21-27%
41 to age 50, 22-28%
51 to age 60, 22-30%
For Males:
Up to age 30, 12-18%
31 to age 40, 13-19%
41 to age 50, 14-20%
51 to age 60, 16-22%
What body fat percentage are you.....????
If your not sure then you can post your measurements in This Thread and it will be worked out for you....

My bodyfat was or is always below 10 percent. My record for the lowest bodyfat was 5%. I have a fast metabolism and getting ripped is always a piece of cake for me even at my current age of thirty three. Currently my bodyfat is at 10% and I weigh a solid 175 pounds at a height of 5'7".
