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
or hundred grams. 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 your starting weight on the RESULTS
SUMMARY SHEET provided.
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) 2” (5 cm) above navel — belly relaxed.
3) At navel — belly relaxed.
4) 2” (5 cm) 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.
