Knowing your body fat percentage is extremely important information you need in order to attain your goals. Armed with your true body fat percentage, you will know if you are considered "healthy" or...well, fat. Knowing whether you are gaining or losing fat, or muscle, will tell you if you are exercising and eating right.. The higher your fat mass the harder your entire body has to work - for everything.

High body fat forces your heart (and other bodily functions) to work much harder than it should. If you have never "conditioned" your heart (the fact that you are asking yourself what that means indicates you have never conditioned your heart...) you could be putting yourself at risk. Keep your body fat under 20% and your body will thank you.

Review the "Body Fat Chart" in order to see what percentage is healthy for your age.
