This body measuring tape from NZ Fitness Gear is a retractable 150cm tape for your arms, chest, waist, hips, thighs, calves and more. Push-button retraction and a lock hold the tape snug for each reading, so you can measure yourself without anyone helping.
Why the lock helps
Body measurements are only useful if you take them the same way each time. The lock lets you set the tension, read the number and let go without the tape slipping, which keeps your readings consistent from one week to the next.
Three quick measurements
- Waist: stand relaxed, wrap the tape around at the level of your belly button, and read it after you breathe out.
- Hips: measure around the widest part of your hips with your feet together.
- Arms: let the arm hang relaxed and measure around the widest part of the upper arm.
Measure at the same time of day, on bare skin, and write the numbers down so you can compare them later.
