Body fat

[Drewboyy]

I have no idea where to put this, but this seems like the correct place.

What is the best way to measure body fat percentage for a male my age (14)?
What are yours? And what is the average about?

I'm pretty confident in how I look (fat wise) but I'd like to know it in like a number form and compared to other guys. Also, does anyone know what kind of workouts, exercises, and/or sports are good for losing stomach fat specifically?

Thanks! I'm no expert and one can only go so far on looking at the first page of Google search.

dunno how much participation you'll get on this board...you might wanna join a fitness message board or something if you really want lots of other people to compare to.

I just got 11% for a 13 yr old male. I wouldn't consider myself fit as I am a little chubby and slowly getting fatter... But I guess I'm fine.

I recently found out that I have a small hole in the heart. There my body fat percentage was measured....I was pretty helthy but since of late has been getting a little out of breath and extra sweaty in PE.

My mom was concerned and told me I had this heart condition and took me to a heart doc(I've been there 3y ago but thought she's a peadiaticsts)..
She laughed that I'm getting a bit chubby now cos I was so thin whn she saw me last....She got her nurse to undress me to my briefs and examined my heart, did a "echocardiogram", weighed me precisely (67.5 kg at 172cm giving me a BMI of 22.8)..

She used a caliper on my upper thigh and love handle area and measured my body fat %.
Despite being normal weight I got a body fat of 28%. pretty high and according to her I'm "skinny-fat"
