The location of body fat distribution influences your health risk. Lower risk is associated with fat
distributed around the hips and thighs, while trunk abdominal fat poses higher risk. Measuring your
waist circumference can help identify your risk level.
Direction: Palpate the last rib (trace from the lowest point of the sternum) and place the tape
measure below it.
A. PUSH – UPS
Protocol:
1. Push-ups: “Lie flat on the ground with your chest facing downward and your ____
(feet typically for men; knees typically for women) next to each other. Then place the palms of your hands on the
ground just wider than your shoulders. Next, push your body up until just your hands and (toes typically for men;
knees typically
for women) are touching the ground to assume the starting positions. When I say ‘Begin,’ bend your elbows until
your upper arms are parallel to the ground and then return to the starting position while keeping your legs, trunk,
and neck in a straight line”
After You Finish
The number of full repetitions completed for the required movement pattern is the final result.
B. PARTIAL CURL – UPS
Protocol:
1. Partial curl-ups: “Lie flat on your back with your arms directly at your side. Adjust your body so that your fingers
are touching the first of the two strips of adhesive tape on the floor and your feet so that your knees are at a
right angle (90°). Keep your feet on the ground and close together but not touching. When I say ‘Begin,’ curl
your trunk and back up so that your fingers will move from the starting position along the floor to the second
strip of tape. Slowly uncurl your torso so that your fingers return to the starting position and continue to go back
and forth so that the strip of tape is reached with each of the audible beeps provided by the metronome”.
