How Healthy are You? Body Fat Chart

How Healthy are You? Body Fat Chart

Posted in Articles

I’ve said it many times before, it’s not only  about WEIGHT but more importantly, it’s about BODY FAT. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you start  a healthy lifestyle of eating properly and routine exercise, that I recommend you get your body fat measured.

Below, are charts that show the recommended healthy body fat percentages.
