That's considered 'fitness' level.
13% would put you at around 151lbs. Anything below that is simply unrealistic.
At 13% you will be pretty lean and look like the models in fitness commercials.

OMG 13%! For a man, okay. But for a woman?
Take a look at my gallery pix. I'm pretty sure I'm in the low 20s. At 13%, you'd be able to watch me digesting my lunch.
Now, Vanity, at 20% bf, you are LEAN and healthy! But it sounds like you got tested using electric impedance. If this is what it was, those things are NOT accurate. Get re-tested using calipers somewhere so you can see what % BF you REALLY are.
And you really can't change your body type - not without starving yourself anyway.
Question though: are you lifting?
Meanwhile, enjoy what you've got - you look great, and my friend, you've earned it! |
