Body Fat Analysis

Can anyone tell me the best way to measure body fat at home? I know that there are excellent clinical ways to do it, but what about these scales by tanita that measure weight and body fat? They get pretty good reviews on epinions. I have also bought my own set of calipers, but just dont think I am using them right. I have recently re-commited to strength training, but am gaining weight. I am still doing regular cardio along with it
but I am getting discouraged at the weight gain. I know all the stuff about muscle weighing more than fat, but I feel like I might feel better if I knew my body fat percentage. I cant figure out how to get a decent read at home. :lol: :lol:
