if you like to keep a record on your growth maybe for a journal , maybe bragging rights , or just out of interest , here is a guide to show you the correct form of measurement

Waist
wrap the tape snugly around the narrowest part of the torso. This should be approximately halfway between the navel and the bottom of the rib cage. Record the measurement and the end of a normal exhale.

Abdomen
wrap the tape snugly around the widest part of the torso. This should be approximately the same level as the navel. Record the measurement and the end of a normal exhale.

Hips
wrap the tape snugly around the body at the top of the hip bones.

Knee
wrap the tape around the knee at the center of the patelia (knee cap). The leg should be relaxed and slightly bent.

Neck
With the arms hanging naturally, wrap the tape around your body placing it snugly over the maximum bulges of the deltoid muscles.

Shoulders
With the arms hanging naturally, wrap the tape around your body placing it snugly over the maximum bulges of the deltoid muscles.

Chest
With the arms hanging naturally, wrap the tape around your body placing it snugly just above the nipples. Record measurement at the end of a normal exhale.

Thigh
wrap the tape around the leg at the top of the glutial fold (where the thigh meets the buttocks).

Calf
Sitting on the edge of a table or chair with the legs hanging freely measure the calf all the way around at its widest point.

Ankle
wrap the tape all the way around the ankle at its smallest point just above the ankle bone.

Arm
