Bowflex 2 manual Measurements, Two inches above navel belly relaxed

Measurements

If you would like to measure your personal before-and-after results, there are several steps you need to take. It is important that you accurately perform each task, then at the end of the six-week program, repeat the process in the same manner.

Body Weight:

Remove clothing and shoes and record your weight to the nearest quarter pound. Be sure to use the same scale when weighing yourself at the end of the six-week program. For the most accurate recordings, weigh yourself nude in the morning.

Since the program is divided into three two-week segments, you may want to weigh yourself at the end of each two- week period. Understand, however that weight loss is not the best way to determine your success. Fat loss is the key component. To determine the amount of fat you’ve lost, you’ll need to follow the instructions in the next section.

Enter you starting weight on your RESULTS SUMMARY SHEET, which is found on page 64.

Circumference of Body Parts:

For an even better idea of the changes that will occur to your body in the next six weeks, it is necessary to measure the circumference of certain body parts. This will tell you where the fat is shrinking and what areas are toning up.

Use a plastic tape to measure the following:

1)Upper arms — hanging and relaxed, midway between the shoulder and elbow.

2)Two inches above navel — belly relaxed.

3)At navel — belly relaxed.

4)Two inches below navel — belly relaxed.

5)Hips — feet together at maximum protrusion of buttocks.

6)Thighs — high, just below the buttocks crease with legs apart and weight distributed equally on both feet.

Record each measurement on your Results Summary Sheet.
