What would be the ideal measurements for a woman who is 5'10 with a medium !
Question: What would be the ideal measurements for a woman who is 5'10 with a medium build frame?
I'd rather go by inches and dress sizes than by the number on the scale because I know I already have quite a bit of muscle mass getting in the way of those pesky numbers on the scale.
Also, how does a doctor test the percentage of your body fat?
Thanks!
Answers:
Approx 15-30% body fat is healthy for females (bear in mind that the lower end of this range is typical of very athletic women not skinny ones).
The best methods for testing body fat % are DEXA scan or hydrostatic weighing.
Hi Norah. There is no real ideal measurement cuz everyones body is different. I think the best way to know if you are "in shape" is by having a good looking body with low body fat. I used to think I was in shape but I still had ugly love handles... Anyway I found this article on google that really helped me get that body I always wanted. I think it could help you too. The site is www.realsixpack.com. I hope you get the ideal body you're looking for!
Google "Body fat calculator".. I am no good with womens sized but i do know that your body fat should be between 14-20%
