What is Team DDPYOGA?
It is a support team that helps encourage others along their DDPYOGA journey by sharing their stories. Team DDPYOGA is made up of Regular Guys / Gals that made a decision to Own their Life with DDPYOGA. Now you can share your story and encourage others to achieve their goals. Check out the “Testimonials” section to see members of Team DDPYOGA Before and After pictures.

Why should you take the 6 Strength & Flexibility pictures?
So that in 30 days you can show friends and family your “Before” pics and show off! Seriously, though you should take the pics on Day 1 because as you start this journey, it’s always important to know where you came from. These pictures will provide endless motivation and inspiration for you as you start to achieve amazing results.

The 6 Strength & Flexibility pictures are not just about showing weight loss. You are taking these 5 pictures to continue to motivate you and show you how much stronger and more flexible you will become in the months to come.

Also, don't forget to take your measurements and your weight. You will start this journey on Day 1 and take the same pictures, measurements and weight on Day 30 (and every month thereafter. Only once a month though. I don’t want you becoming a slave to the scale, tape or pictures.)
Make sure you take pictures and measurements on the same day each month.

How do I take the Before and After pictures?
Picture 1: Straight-On Full Body. Face Forward. For men shirt is optional. If you wear a shirt, I prefer something form-fitting. For women I suggest form-fitting workout apparel or bathing suit.

Picture 2: Profile Full Body.

Picture 3: In profile, straighten your legs and fold forward. Do not bend your knees, Do Not strain your back.

Picture 4: Looking straight at the camera, get in as much of a catcher position as you can. Squat as low as you feel comfortable but your feet should be flat on the ground.

Picture 5: Sitting on the ground reach forward and touch your toes. Go as deeply as you can comfortably. Do Not bounce or strain your back.

Picture 6: Balancing Leg Lift. You may not be able to do this one at all, but try—trust me, you will love to look back and see where you started. First try to do it from a standing position. You can use either hand/leg. Try to grab your foot and lift it as high as you can to your side.

These pictures will eventually show your increased flexibility, core strength and stability, along with your weight loss. Trust me, this will keep you motivated as you move along your DDPYOGA journey, so keep these pictures up on your Team DDPYOGA page so we can root you on. And believe it or not, your pictures will inevitably inspire someone else to OWN THEIR LIFE—how cool is that?

Here's Smokey's chart from his journal. You can keep track of these on your page or in your program guide... but keep track!

Comment by Leigh I Rainey JR on July 5, 2011 at 10:25pm: I've wet, I've tightened, I've reset and my HRM isn't measuring my heart rate. Any suggestions?

Comment by Kathy Fonseca on May 16, 2010 at 12:14pm: I'm starting to FREAK OUT! I have finally decided to start watching the DVD's and get going on this path to better health. Yesterday was my day for reading, today is my day for measurements and tomorrow I will watch my first DVD. PROBLEM: I CAN'T FIND THE PAGE THAT WILL EXPLAIN HOW TO TAKE MY MEASUREMENTS! Can anyone help me?

Comment by Jeanne Moeller on January 20, 2010 at 1:23pm: WooHoo - finally a question I can answer! Charles, click on My Page at the top left of the website - right under DDP's picture. On the left hand side you will see a link to Manage my page or photo. Click on Photo and scroll down past where you upload a picture. You will see the Fitness Goals box and below that are all the boxes to fill in as many measurements as you want! When you are done, scroll to the bottom and click Save.

Comment by Tim on June 22, 2009 at 4:58pm: Where exactly should body measurements be taken?
Here are my suggestions, for men.

Neck: Narrowest part.
Shoulders:?
Chest: Fully expanded, across nipples.
Biceps: Around widest part, with arm flexed at 90 degrees.
Wrist: At narrowest part (where your watch is worn).
Waist:At narrowest part (about an inch below the navel), NOT sucked in.
Hips: Around widest part.
Thigh:Around widest part, nearest the top of the leg.
Knees: At narrowest part (around the crease in the back).
Calf: Around the widest part, foot flat on the ground.

Feel free to suggest alternatives. I am just interested in consistent measurements.
