It is necessary to take a fat fold on different parts of the body, to evenly delay and measure its thickness this measuring device in millimeters. Measurement is performed around a triceps, a front part of a hip. Put the turned-out figures. If your age within 20-25 years, then at an indicator up to 30 mm fat percent in an organism no more than 12.5%. If from 30 to 40 mm turned out, then the percent will be about 16%. At the sum in 50 mm this indicator will equal 20% and so on. If you has a kaliper, then compare the obtained data to the table provided on the drawing.

2. Weighing under vodoyetot the way is available only in scientific laboratory. An essence in the following: the person is weighed at first on usual scales, and then in the special bathroom at full immersion under water. As fat has buoyancy, in water the body becomes easier. Easier on that number of kilograms of fat which is in his body. Further subtract weight at immersion from initial weight and receive very exact figure. This way it is possible to use houses, but you receive only very approximate value. In any freshwater reservoir be extended on water, having stretched hands and legs "star" and begin to consider.
