What's your bodyfat percentage?

Rowing machines are LEGIT, I couldn't believe how much they kicked my ass the first time I used them in high school. I wish my gym had one.

Yeah I love mine. I have to row at a very slow pace though. My 5000 metre pieces are typically just under 2:30/500 pace whereas you see guys on youtube rowing at under 2:00/500 but it still gives the same workout benefits, I mean my heart gets up to 185 bpm peak which at 35 is probably my maximum possible heartrate.

Of course with my lungs the way they are my heart is at 120 bpm just by sitting on the machine but I can still feel the benefits.

I really want to knock about 10 bpm off my resting heart rate. I think my current resting rate is close to 90 bpm and if I could get it down to below 80 I'd feel so much less concerned about my future health problems.

didnt a prime lennox lewis once take the BMI test and it classed him as medically obese

Imagine Tua or Tyson the machine would probably blow up.

BMI is relativly useless except in cases of pretty bad obesity to be honest.

I'm 6 foot even, 13 stone and my body fat floats between 5-9%.

I'm 'overweight'

Conversaly you could get a 6 foot 12 stone guy with poor muscle mass and he would be an ideal weight -despite probably carrying too much fat.

Useless for athletes and the elderly amongst others.

I would like to know this answer, I have NO idea?!

I'm pretty slim but I weight around 17st... makes no sense
I must have bones made of lead.

Yeah. But apparently I'm also overweight
Those height/ measurement graphs always have me as overweight.

I don't see how when I'm more on the lanky side of slim..?

Those graphs are not very accurate and should only be used as vague estimations.. I'm the same way.. i'm around 5'7", not very tall, and weigh around 160.. I have at the most 15% body fat, probably more like 12%, but those charts would probably have me around 25%. I literally have no fat on my besides my stomach area, but i have a clear 6 pack, so it's not like i have a gut or anything. If i ran more often, maybe 3-4 times a week, i wouldn't lose more than 2-3 lbs of fat as that's really all i have on my body besides muscle.

Well this year I'm doing very well in my health goals.

I weighed in this morning first thing at just over 9st 9lb so just over 135 lbs. I weigh more after breakfast obviously but this has to be good.

My bodyfat is definitely down too but I don't know exactly what it is as my scales fluctuate.

One day I'm 16.8 then the next 17.7 then 17.1 etc. It changes by .5 during the same day as well so I'm just noting the average trend, i.e down which is good.

I reckon I must be about 17-17.5 now which is 3% down on last year when I made this thread.

135 is the lowest I've weighed illness aside since I was about 20 which isn't bad. I'm definitely a little more muscular now as I'm working with dumbells.

Ive just finished one 8 week plan and this week am about to start another. All my workouts are computer generated for me which is ideal as all I have to do is follow the schedule I'm giving. Today it's Fitness Evolved on my Kinect for 15 mins followed by 30 mins of weights.

Generally I train for 20 to 45 mins a time about 5 days a week.

I don't think it's necessary or advisable for me to work much more than that, and I've lost about 8 lbs in the last couple months so am making exactly the progress I wanted.

I'd like to put a bit of muscle on now, but I imagine I will be a slow gainer so if I can put on maybe half a stone of muscle over a year I'd be well happy.
