Assess your waist circumference

• Measure your waist at its narrowest point.
• If you can’t identify the narrowest part of your waist, locate the bottom of your rib cage and the top of your hip bones.
• Wrap the measuring tape around your waist midway between them (about 2 cm above your navel).
• Keep the tape snug around your waist, but don’t let it dig into your skin.
• Exhale and note the measurement. Repeat twice more, then calculate the average.
