Question What's the Average Body fat %

I did one of those test over the net & it said mine was 17% fat is this good for a 33 year old woman, it said it was good butthat don't sound too good to me. It may actually be a little lower because I started today.

In the BFL Forum (under the Exercise forums) there is a sticky called "Using BF% as goal". You'll find a chart attached to the first and second posts in that thread with information on desired BF% at differing weights. 22% BF is considered 'good' anything lower is, well, better - up to a point. A BF below 17-18% and most women start to experience irregularities in their period and other health problems.
