| Description: |
- Place yourself off to one side of client’s mid-section.
- Place measuring tape around waist (smallest girth around the abdomen), ensuring client is not wearing bulky clothes that would invalidate the reading.
- Hold zero end of tape in one hand, positioned below the other part of the tape, which is held in your other hand.
- Apply tension to the tape so that it fits snugly around the body, but does not compress the skin or body fat.
- Align the tape so that it runs horizontal (parallel to the floor) and not diagonal.
- At the end of a normal expiration, record measurement to nearest 0.5 cm.
