The essential circumference measurements for evaluation are the waist and the hip. You can also measure other areas of your body if you wish (thighs, chest, arms). I am going to explain how to measure three:
1. Hip Circumference- The Hip circumference should be measured at the level of the outermost point of your buttocks. This will look low as you bring the tape measure around the front of your waist, but it is the correct position. Be sure the tape measure is parallel to the ground and not twisted for accurate measurement.
2. Waist Circumference- The Waist circumference measurement should take place at the mid point between your belly button and the bottom rib (approx. 1-2 inches above belly button). Be sure the tape measure is parallel to the ground and is not twisted for accuracy.
3. Thigh Circumference- The Thigh circumference is measured in the exact middle of the thigh (the middle is the mid point between your knee and your hip). Again be sure the tape measure is not twisted and is parallel all the way around your thigh.
