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.
