If you go to the gym then just ask and they will do it for you. you can also do stuff on the net by putting in your weight/height/age etc etc but its best just to get it done at the gym

A good way is to measure with a caliper, BUT this is not accurate and will most likely show on lower then you are. However it could be good to measure to see how much bf youve lost.

A bodpod is the only accurate method.

The caliper is not extremely accurate because it does not account for some body types that may have a disproportionate amount of fat in a specific area. However, it can be extremely efficient in tracking your progress as long as you are consistant with your measuring skills.

There are many gadget available that start pretty cheap. I use the fat track and their software. I think it cost me about 30 or 40 bucks. But you can get a basic caliper for 5 bucks.
