I was talking to someone at the gym a few months ago, who told me that runners need to be more interested in their Body Fat Percentage rather than their weight.
Be the trusting sort, I took this on board.
The problem I have is that mine doesnt seem to want to shift.
So how do you go about reducing your body fat, without your body deciding to start chomping away on your muscle.
And does it matter anyway.
My Body Fat isnt that bad (16% approx)but I would love to reduce it a bit. What do people think?

Sit ups.
Lots of running.
Although I have read that each excess pound of weight costs 2 secs per mile in a race.
if my age 16% would be good (and a dream)
My age. Well I turned the big 40 this year.
I was surprised to find that mine is 10.4%
Must be all of the training!(followed by chocolate & beer)

My target is 18%
Currently 20%
Used to be about 40%
You key in some personal details & stand barefoot on two metal foot-shaped pads, a small undetectable current passes through your body and the machine comes up with a reading!
Many gyms use the same machines for health checks and fitness profiling of members.

OH MY GOD*****
I have nevr hurt so much after a work-out in all my life. I actually started to feel sick.
I want to bring my body fat down from 16% to 10%, but after yesterday I have suddenly become very attached to it. Is this worth it, I ask myself.
