How to take the right “before” picture…
Posted on March 11, 2010 by admin
The first and most essential part of your new fitness regime is to have proof that you in fact needed to embark on one. When the advertisements show you the “before” and “after” pics of a person who has tried their program or their product, they know what they’re doing. That’s not to say that their programs don’t work or they’re trying to falsify their claims (mine definitely work) but we going to try to highlight your achievements as best as possible. Of course we all want to look great in pics and it’s really hard to try to not to, but, alas, your before picture is no place for beauty or well grooming. Here are tips for taking the “best” before picture:
1. Use harsh lighting. Fluorescent is best
2. Wear little to no make up
3. Wear your most ill fitting bathing suit. A couple of sizes too small is best
4. Take 3 pictures: one straight on with feet slightly apart, a profile (no need to stand up straight), and a rear picture again with feet slightly apart
5. No tans necessary
6. Hair should be slightly messy and unadorned
7. Kind of smile but not really (you’re not happy with your body)
Now, you can choose to keep these pics in the privacy of your memory card or feel free to share them with me and my Facebook Fit Club. We’re all friends here! I love before pics and later on, especially the after ones!!!
