Yes I know that about body fat percentage and I am ok to add 5% to that but my legs are not skinny at all. The only thing that is misleading is that most of the fat is around the waist.

In the end, it's about competing with yourself. These scales might not give you the right absolute values but they definitely give you the current trend you can use to pace yourself. I'm using it that way

I know, I follow my VO2 Max thoroughly and even though I know it is not correct measure from the strap, it is good enough for me to follow a trend.

Most digital scales aren't accurate but there are few good ones like: https://vitagoods.com/collections/our-picks/products/body-analyzer1-digital-body-analyzer

And yeah, for BF%, caliper is top-3 least inaccurate and the cheapest.

@Experts

I got myself a new toy, a smart scale. I was never interested in these data but i thought why not start at this age.

I am 170 cm and the scale gave me these

Weight 68.5 kg
BMI 23.7
Body fat 15.9%
Muscle mass 28.8 kg
Bone mass 4.1 kg
Body water 61.4%

What should I make out of that? I know my body fat is a bit on the up side as I am the worse when it comes to looking over what I eat and what not to.

Any tips on what I should do? Keep my data around these numbers? Anything in particular that needs to be changed?

15% body fat is good, get blood work done and monitor your blood pressure, this should give you a better sense of your health status.

I have a tiny belly though.

I have a tiny belly though.

Not surprised. Even with all the running. It's all that cortisol. I recommend meditation.

Are we talking aesthetics or health?

Healthy of course

Healthy of course

You seem healthy to me, just keep track of your blood sugar, cholesterol and bp. And if you want to go a step further check your kidney function and hormone levels. But overall id say you're a low risk factor.

Anyone roves for cardio? Fucked up my knee, can't run, looking for something to compliment jumping rope.

What about bicycle?

If not, try different workouts with battling rope.

Can't ride a bicycle, never learned to do it, even stationary bicycles freak me out.
Jumping rope ftw then

Why don't you try battling rope?

I don't have it in my gym unfortunately. I like battling rope though.

I have one at home and there was a time when I drove my car more frequently I had it in the trunk all the time.
