[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is very high.  I am 35 years old and a women.  Mine is 12% which is low, but I am very athletic and lean.  You should aim for 20%.[/quote]

That's preposterous.  You don't have 12 percent body fat unless you're a bodybuilder.  A woman has approximately 10 to 12 percent essential fat.

To the OP, a normal woman should seek to have a body fat percentage under 30-31 percent.  [/quote]

Not the PP, but my body fat is below 12 as a woman (checked several ways), and I'm not a bodybuilder.  I would say diet is a huge factor for OP, and you may want to consider doing some additional weight-bearing exercises (whether lifting or using your own body for resistance).[/quote]

12% PP, I think you need your body fat percentage rechecked.  10-12% body fat is essential, as in, you are barely surviving without doing your body damage.  It's significantly below the percentages of professional athletes, and far below what you would expect from someone who is "fit."
