I don't know if it is the MOST accurate way, but it is good at showing change.

Stand on your head and measure how far everything moves down.

If you live near BYU they have a pod machine that you can pay to test you

For me, I dig a hole in the ground and stick my head in it.

I don't know if this is the best way, but it's only $10

That's similar to the scale I use, and I really question its accuracy.

why are you concerned about body fat %? Being healthy & active isn't enough?

Because I turn 50 in 2 years, and I expect to look like Herschel Walker...

Just don't go around advertising your % like some do. They look desperate.

Never happen, because it'll never be low. I'm just trying to lower it.
