We suggest you take your weekly measurements first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom and before eating. Do this first set right now (if you watched the welcome video, it should be morning right now!). Then moving forward, you'll take these on Sundays or Mondays.

Taking your measurements is simple . . . here's what to do:

For weight, make sure you have a reliable scale.

Stand on, stand still, then record the number in either kg or lbs/stones. Easy right?

For circumferences, you’ll take these at a range of different sites, and record in inches or cm.

Now, it doesn’t matter where the exact circumference site is for each measure, SO LONG as you use the exact same site for each measure each time.

Body landmarks like creases, birthmarks, etc will help you find the same spot each time accurately and easily.

Using a tape measure, record the circumference of the following body parts: 

Chest - at the largest bit

Waist - normally the smallest part, or at the naval

Hips - normally either the 'biggest part' of your hip area, or your ass

Below is the example of exactly how to take your photos for the challenge. Everybody is a little bit apprehensive of taking starting photos. But they feel truly AMAZING when they have a great transformation and have something to look back at. You will be truly grateful you have taken them! 

All you need to do is – A full length front, a full length rear, and a full length side shot.

Find a plain wall or door background. You should be wearing as little as possible so you can identify differences easily: 

For females we recommend a bikini or very tight fitting tops and leggings. 

Men should be in shorts and topless or in a tight fitting top. 

Take photos that include the ENTIRE BODY, but not leaving much photo space above the head or below the feet, so you get a clear image of the full body. Take three photos - facing to the FRONT, SIDE and with your BACK to the camera. Below is an example of how to take them: you need to be able to repeat the process accurately when you come to re- take them so find somewhere that will work for that. 

You'll upload these via the below form but if for any reason they won't upload - simply email to info@movementfitness.ie with the title: Your Name Starting Photos
