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.
