Summary
Why is it important to measure your waistline?
To fully enjoy your bike rides, the comfort of your technical clothing is essential. Ill-fitting clothing can quickly become problematic: tight shorts that are too constricting may hinder your circulation, while a loose jersey will create unwanted friction during exercise. This is where measuring your waist accurately comes into its own – it allows you to choose equipment that naturally fits your figure.
How to measure your waistline correctly
Step 1: Obtain the necessary equipment
Take a soft and flexible tape measure for your measurements. Check that it is not deformed or damaged in order to have reliable results.
Step 2: Position yourself correctly
Adopt a natural standing position, with your legs slightly apart and your back straight. Let your stomach relax without straining in one direction or the other.
Step 3: Locate the correct measurement area
Locate the narrowest part of your torso, located in the natural hollow between your ribs and the top of your hips. This area marks your natural waistline.
Step 4: Take the measurement
Wrap the tape measure around your waist, keeping it straight and not too tight. Note the number indicated in centimeters when the tape is in place.
For reliable measurement
- Repeat the measurement two to three times to confirm the result.
- A large mirror will help you better position your tape measure.
- The help of a loved one can make taking the measurement easier.
