Or not. Nothing is EVER impossible.

5% is a bit low for most....if you want a super-trim/toned body...shoot for 8%.

Hockey players sit at 5-6%.

Anything between 14-18% is considered very healthy. A man with such a percentage will appear fit. Under 14% and a man is in athletic shape. Under 10% and a man will have his six pack showing. For men, 2-4% is considered essential body fat level. Anything below that is considered unhealthy.
