measurements

casims3 · July 2012

Hi all -

I am getting ready to start P90x. I know with building muscle, I may not necessarily lose weight, especially at first. I have never kept track of my measurements before and would like to start. For those of you who do regular measurements, what do you measure? I'm guessing waist and hips, but I'm not sure what else would be helpful to keep track of.

Thanks!

Yay for p90x! (If you can't tell - I am really enjoying the program right now

)

Aside from hips and waist, also measure your arms and thighs.

I also do calves and biceps. And if you have someone to help you, chest and shoulders.

At weight watchers they do waist hips arms thighs and bust.

I would measure both arms, bust, stomach/waist, hips and both upper thighs. I know some people write/describe where they measured so they can measure the same place i.e. at bellybutton or two finger widths below underarm.

Hope this helps!

I do a lot of measurements:

Neck
Upper arm
Forearm
Bust
Natural waist (smallest part)
Stomach (at the navel)
Hips
Upper thigh
Lower thigh
Calf

For me it's motivating to see any part of me shrink, so the more I measure the more that happens! Whatever you choose to do will be the right decision for you!
