Measuring Your Gains!

Tracking your progress is a great way to stay on top of your fitness goals. Whether you are trying to lose weight or gain muscle, monthly measurements can be the extra push you need to stay focused and keep training hard!

However, when it comes to your measurements you need to be as accurate as possible!

Accomplishing goals is what keeps us going and inaccurate measurements can leave you feeling discouraged. 

Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you take your measurements.

1. Always take measurements under the same conditions: Flexed or Unflexed.
2. When taking measurements, make sure the tape is “snug”. Not too tight or too loose.
   

Measurement Locations

• Forearm: Measure around the thickest part of the forearm.
• Arm: Perform a bicep flex and measure the thickest part of your arm.
• Neck: Simply measure around the neck.
• Shoulder: Wrap the measuring tape around both shoulders.
• Chest: Lift your arms up and wrap the measuring tape around your back and chest. Lower arms and take the measurement just above your nipple line.
