How can i figure out my body fat?!


Question: i use my weight scale to figure my body fat since it has that feature, but i'm not sure how accurate it is. it says i have 24% body recently. when i first got the scale, it told me i had 15% body fat. i excersise 4-5 times a week. 3 days workout, 1-2 days cardio. i've never been overweight in my life. is there anyway i can get an accurate measure of my body fat?? i'm 6'2 188lbs.

Many local gyms can measure body fat for a small fee. Usually it's done in one of two ways. They measure you by inches and use alot of different measurements around your body to determine the fat percentage. There is also the underwater method where you are completely submerged in a tank. This allows a reader to see how much body fat is actually in your body. This is the most accurate of all methods.

Those scales do not work! I have one that claims to measure my body fat but it fluxuates so much it's completely innacurate! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone!
