Something out there to measure BF% that I could buy?

[calcium]

Hey I was just wondering if there is something out there that I could buy to measure body fat. At the gym I use this electronic body fat thing that you hold on to after giving it your stats. How much would something like that cost? It's just that I would rather own it then having to keep on using it at the gym. Is there anything on ebay maybe that I could find? How accurate are they? I'd rather use that than doing the measuring thing with your skin since my fat isn't proportioned around my body evenly.

Here is a handheld bio-impedence device at amazon:

Here are calipers from amazin:

Both are used differently and calipers tend to be a bit more accurate. However they are a bit harder to use by yourself. Either way it's a good idea to use one or the other so you know your body fat %. It's also a good idea to always take your bf% at the same time of day- once a week or once every two weeks.
