Let's Get Started

For everyone who wants to change the way their body looks, the first step is to take measurements.  Whatever you measure will improve.  If you want to have a smaller waste line, you need to measure it.  If you want larger biceps, you have to measure them.  Smaller butt - measure.  Bigger chest - measure.  You want to weigh less?  Step on a scale - measure.  Without measurements, you will have no way to measure your success (other than looking in the mirror obviously) and seeing success is often one of the best ways to stay motivated.  So, for this first step, you need to go out and get a measuring tape to measure body circumference.  Here's how it's done.

Biceps / Triceps- measure at the mid point of your bicep.

Shoulders - put your arms to your sides (you'll need help for this one) and measure all the way around your shoulders, chest, and back.

Chest - raise your arms up, then put your measuring tape at the nipple line and lower your arms back down - measure all the way around your back.

Stomach - measure at your belly button line, all the way around your back and sides.

Butt - measure at the largest part of your butt (if you want it smaller, that's the problem area anyways).

Thighs - measure at the mid-point of the thigh.

Write these measurements down and date it.  Then, re-check all of them at least monthly.  If you keep your diet on track and exercise consistently, you will see the positive results you're looking for.
