Correct Measurement Technique

1. Stand flat-footed against a wall with your heels touching the wall
2. Keep your arms at your sides in a relaxed position
3. Reach up as high as possible with both hands
4. Mark the wall at the highest point your fingertips can reach
5. Measure from the floor to that mark

Tips for Accuracy
