Q&A - Fitness Monitors
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. Theweakelectrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitoris calculated by a formula thatincludes five factors; electric resistance,height,weight,ageandgender.
What is visceral fat?
Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin).
What is resting metabolism?
Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight.
What is skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.

5 out of 5 stars Valuable weight loss tool   July 2, 2008
The product does what is says it will. The information the product provides is very useful in weight loss and general healthy weight. Percent of body fat, daily caloric needs etc all helpful & useful to know. Easy to use.


2 out of 5 stars Accurate scale, but body fat measurement is suspect   June 29, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a nice piece of equipment, seems to be well-made with a nice design. The scale was VERY accurate--no complaints there--but I mostly purchased it to monitor my body fat. That it did not do very well. I followed the instructions to the letter and repeatedly got incorrect numbers. The instructions say this scale is not for highly trained athletes or people with very low body fat, so heed that warning if that describes you.


1 out of 5 stars Athletes do Not Purchase   June 26, 2008
Warning to atheletes: This body fat scale does not have the athlete setting. It therefore cannot make the correct assumptions about bone density, etc. to give you an accurate body fat measurement. If you are athletic (10 hours+ of cardio per week and resting heartrate of 60 or less), this scale will not work for you. I bought this scale and it told me my body fat was a full 10% higher than it actually is.


5 out of 5 stars Scale tells it like it is!   June 23, 2008
Received the scale in perfect condition. It is easy to read and appears to be very accurate.


3 out of 5 stars Scale is right on for weight, but to tempremental   June 22, 2008
This is a beautiful well made scale.The weight is extremly accurate,but when I try to get my bodyfat and bmi readings it turns into a hastle.I constantly get error readings, even after trying there cures.Eventually I do get them after a quite a few tries.Maybe its me,but it sure is a pain.
