Is this how we're measuring thighs?
Thigh:
• Ask the participant to sit in a chair or on examining table, with back straight.
• Mark a horizontal line just at the superior edge of the patella (knee cap).
• Place the zero end of the measuring tape at the inguinal crease, which is easily located if
the hips are in a sitting position.
• Extend tape along the midline of the thigh to the line just proximal to the patella.
• Mark a (+) at the midpoint of the thigh.
Because if so, I'm not going to complain about mine any more. (19") (They're actually quite a bit wider around the adductor muscles.)
My waist, on the other hand... (28.5")
But that's my highly developed obliques. Right.
Height - 5'3"
Hips - 36.5"
Age - 48
ETA: does anyone remember that cartoon show "The Mighty Hercules?" Wasn't there a line in the theme song about "Thunder in his Thighs!"?
