I have about 10%. I aim for a single digit. It's up to you.

IMO an athlete shouldn't be much higher than 14-15% bf

Last I saw I believe 14-19% was considered "good" by United States standards, which is pretty soft for any fitness person.

I believe I'm in the 14 range right now. The only times I have been under 13% have been when I was doing regular walking, my body is very stubborn.

ask a trainer at your gym to give you a body fat calipers test (preferably 7 sites over 3) to find out what your bf% is.

if you're at the first notch in your belt, chances are you're fat.
