    Where exactly to measure thighs?

    Need guidance here: when taking measurements, where exactly should I measure on my thighs?

    I had tried doing it at the widest part of the thigh, but every couple of weeks i find that the thighs are trading the same 1/2 to 1 inch back and forth between them. I'm exercising both equally, so I must be doing something wrong in the measuring.

    Thanks in advance!

      I used to see a trainer and she told me to measure my thighs 6 inches down from my inseem. That way you can always find that line for progress reports.

      I measure halfway between the beginning of my thigh to my knee.

      That makes sense. I'm guessing by inseam you mean the crotch.
