[Sportsandrec] Chess and body fat pct

[Ashley Bramlett]

Joe,

Good luck with your goals.
I don't think 24 percent body fat is bad; about 20 percent is normal.  I 
also love to eat; I am apple shaped meaning  the fat tissue is in my tummy. 
So I'm bigger than I'd like.  But I do have great legs.  My trainer 
commented on that; they are a nice shape with a fair amount of muscle and my 
calves are like rocks.  They are strong from all the walking I did.  Anyway, 
you were brave to do that test, the skin fold test Kelly and I talked about.
I have not done it but will in the next month probably.  So far I did the 
one where you hold a device and it measures you with an electric signal. 
This method of measuring body fat is less accurate than pinching skin with 
calipers.

I'm sure if you have a good diet and consistently workout, you will reach 
your goal and bring down your fat percent in no time.

Ashley
