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. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender. 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.

Body Fat Monitor worthless:
If you are looking for a body fat monitor this isnt the right thing, i'm an athlete and i know my body fat isnt 25% LMAO. i supposed if you are a sedentary person and dont care for the exact measurement of body fat this might work for you. it is a decent weight scale but for the price i run to costco and buy me one more effective than this one.
Very nice just need to read the manual first.:
This is an excellent scale that reads your body's weight correctly every time you step on it. When I weigh myself I weigh three times to get an average and every time it's the same number. If one reads the manual and knows when to measure weight then they will not be disappointed.
digital scale:
A little complicated at first to use but you get the hang of it. Easy to read would buy it again!!
Must Have For Fitness Conscious:
I'd say that this is a must-have product for the fitness conscious, and those trying to reduce. It seems to have some additional features also, but I'm only interested in its accurate weight and body-fat measurements.
