A few good questions
Before youmeasure.
How do I measure my waist for body type?
Measure the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel, with the tape level. Breathe out normally and don’t pull it tight.
Is a body type calculator accurate?
It’s an approximate ratio-based reference, affected by measurement error and classification cutoffs. It isn’t a medical diagnosis or a health assessment.
The reasoning, in the open.
