Measuring Your Success

Stop relying on the scale to measure your success. Muscle weights more than fat, yet takes up less space. You need your measurements to gauge the success of your program.

We suggest taking your measurements every 4 weeks. The key to getting a good measurement is to measure in the same spot each time. If you have beauty spots to place the tape on that is a sure fire way to make sure you are measuring in the same spot.

  • Triceps - half way between the bend of the elbow and the shoulder. Keep your arm down by your side.
  • Back - right under the bust line
  • Waist - measure the smallest portion of the waist area and underneath your rib cage. For most this is above your belly button.
  • Belly - for women only...right across your belly button
  • Hips - measure at the hip bone
  • Upper Thighs - largest area of each thigh
  • Calves -largest area of each calf
