## Waist Circumference

Most people think their waist is at a different point than the reality their body provides. Therefore, it is important to tie a string around the body.

. Tie a string around your waist and let it settle.

. Take the measuring tape and place it around your waist as indicated by the string. In general, this measurement is taken parallel to the floor unless you have a distinct figure problem that dictates doing otherwise.

. Record the measurement.

Refined Fit: Use the Measuring Tip discussed previously and record the Front versus Back measurements. Ensure that the measurements add up to the same total you get with the measuring tape.
