Frequently Asked Questions
What is a healthy waist to hip ratio?

How do I measure my waist circumference?
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button. Keep the tape measure snug but not compressing the skin. Measure after exhaling normally.
How do I measure my hip circumference?
Measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks. Stand with feet together and wrap the tape measure around the largest circumference.
What does waist to hip ratio indicate?
Waist-to-hip ratio indicates how body fat is distributed. Higher ratios suggest more abdominal fat, which is associated with increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
