barrass you.

And because you gain weight with age, don't begin to diet rigidly. it is perfectly normal to acquire a little more weight with your years, but you can still keep your mea- surements perfect with corrective exertise.

In regard to measurements, a 34 in. chest measurement is considered Ideal with a 36 In. hp and 20 in. waist (modern waists being larger than they were). A 35 in. chest with 37 in. hip (nt widest point) and 27 n. waist, and 36 in. chest with 38 in. hip.

The average upper-arm measure- ments vary between D in. and 11 in Beyond 11 in., keep them well massaged.

The average upper thigh in be tween 19 in. and 21 In. Most of these measurements depend, of course, on your bone structure and it is not wise to take anyong else's measurements and weight as per- feet for your particular figure.
