Body Fat %

This is an example (according to American Council on Exercies ~ ACE) of what is considered "healthy body fat %."

Let's say a woman weighs 130# and has a body fat of 23% - Total weight 130# x 0.23 fat = 29.9# body. According to the chart, 30% for a female isn't great - but acceptable. If this same information had been given for a male, he would be considered obese and his immediate goal is set for 25%.

For my clients I always round up numbers (it makes the math easier) but you don't have to.

This all translates to:

Body Weight 130#

Body Fat 23% = 30# body fat
130# body weight - 30# body fat = 100# of lean mass

Use this equation to figure out your own body lean mass ~vrs~ fat masss. Although ACE has given a chart as to what is acceptable standards, I would suggest at a minimum try to keep your body fat within fitness level.

Please keep in mind that AGE does affect your percentages and what is considered healthy!
