Frame Size - How to Determine
This tip comes from
Diet Bites and is a very quick method in determining
frame size.
Simply
extend your arm and with your free hand, wrap thumb
and middle finger around the extended wrist.
-
If your middle finger and thumb
overlap, you have a small frame.
-
-
If your middle finger and thumb
touch, you have a medium frame.
-
-
If your middle finger and thumb
do not meet, you have a large frame.
Keep in mind that this
is merely a quick technique for determining frame size
and is intended to assist dieters in determining their
recommended weight based on frame size. For an accurate
analysis of your body frame size, get with your physician.
Frame
size is an important element in determining overall
weight. Frame size factors effecting weight include:
-
bone weight and mass
-
a larger skeleton supports more weight than a smaller
one (who would have thunk it?)
-
the frame plays an important role in the distribution
of weight
