Body frame sizes are categorized as small frame, medium frame, and large frame. The reason for this is that bone structures vary in size and density from person to person; and from male to female.

There are two simple methods to determine your frame size:-

1. Measuring the circumference of the wrist.
   • Use a flexible tape to measure a complete circle covering both prominent wrist bones.
2. Elbow breadth can also be used to determine body frame size. To measure elbow breadth you should:-
   • Bend forearm upward at a 90 degree angle.
   • Keep fingers straight and turn the inside of your wrist towards your body.
   • Measure the distance between the two prominent bones on either side of the elbow. (A physician would use a caliper.)

Use your wrist circumference or your elbow size results in the table below to determine your body frame size.
