    Audio is muted in the non talking portions of the video since YT flagged the bg music. All the steps are still displayed and is audible.
    I also did a video on How To Measure Yourself for Shoes: ua-cam.com/video/IAy5rosqc54/v-deo.html

    Chest measurement: make sure you're breathing normally, and taking the measurement at the biggest point in your breath cycle. (lung volume changes chest size)
    Hips: feet should be together, having feet apart will make an artificially large hip measurement

    What I find confusing is that us guys have 3 different measurements when it comes to buying pants:
    1 - waist (typically measured from ~ belly button - mine is 74cm or 29")
    2 - hips (widest point lower than your belly button/pelvis - mine is 82cm or 32")
    3 - backside/ass circumference (peak/fullest point - mine is 92cm or 36")
    When ordering, it's sorted by 'waist size' but your pants sit on your 'hip measurement' rather than waist. I'm always like, which measurement do I stick to before buying online?

      Always size up, never down. So hip measurement, if that is bigger. The area that is loose can always be shrunk by a tailor or you add a belt.
