I come up with about the same calculations of 8.5 inches, but if you are not using some form of weights to exercise the upper body, you are missing out on a important area of the body. I use dumbbells for this purpose, every since my general practitioner pointed this out to me about four years ago. Seeing I do have some back problems in the way of the arthritis brothers I use two forms of exercise. one is while standing and the other is laying flat on my back with my knees bent, so my feet are flat on the floor. I started out with a set of 3 pounders and worked myself up to 12 pounders, and the back has improved greatly.
