Is a 36" waist bad for a 15 year old?!


Question:

Is a 36" waist bad for a 15 year old?

I am male 5'6" 145 lb with a 36" waist. My body fat is 33%. I was in good shape about a year ago, back when I used to exercise. 5'6" 28" waist 115 lb, body fat 13. I got lazy though, and I gained some but I am out of shape now?
Also, does anyone know any home fitness tests to do, or home fat tests? Thanks


Answers:

If you have 33% body fat, that's bad. A guy your age should be at least in the low to mid teens for fat percentage. It sounds like that 30 lbs you put on is pretty much pure fat. You need to stay away from the junk food and sodas and get back down to that slim waist, maybe not 28, but probably at least a 30, given your height.
