The best way to know where you are going is to know where you are coming from. If you are considering a new wellness program, knowing your body fat percentage is a great piece of data. Calculating body fat can be done by a personal trainer, on a fancy scale (though they are unreliable) or through other high-tech tools available at some gyms and medical facilities.
And then there is this little tool published by Mike Moorehead of Healthy Widgets. It seems to be pretty accurate and is a quick and easy way to get an idea of where you are. A big thanks to Mike for making this great little tool!
