• 1). Weigh yourself using a bathroom scale. Record your weight.
  
  
• 2). Measure the girth of your biceps, forearm, abdomen, hips, thigh and calf using a cloth tape measure. When taking measurements, position the tape measure so that it wraps around the biggest part of the body part being measured. Pull the tape tight enough to be snug, but not so tight as to pinch the skin. Record each measurement.
  
  
• 3). Calculate your body fat percentage using the appropriate formula:
  
  Men 18 to 26
  
  Bicep Measurement + Abdomen -- Forearm -- 10.2 = Body Fat Percentage
  
  Men 27 to and Over
  
  Bicep Measurement + Abdomen -- Forearm -- 15 = Body Fat Percentage
  
  Women 18 to 26
  
  Abdomen Measurement + Thigh -- Forearm -- 19.6 = Body Fat Percentage
