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.

I have lost approximately 70 lbs. in the last 4 months... I'd have an exact figure if only I had not put off purchasing this scale until 2 and a half months ago!
This is the best scale I've ever utilized and provides me daily input as to the reality of my momentum! Prior to this scale I never listened to scales as I started off as a 300 lb. large framed male, my weight could fluctuate as much as 12 lbs. in a day and 3 of the 5 reputable weight charts out there have my end weight falling ...

I don't care about the other feratures, I just wanted a great scale and this is it! And it is pleasant to look at as well. Feels sturdy, not plastic. Great scale, worth every penny.

Consistency. It doesn't matter if a scale is off a pound or two, as long as it is consistent! This scale is consistent and very close to the scale at our clinic. What more can you ask for?

This scale works well to tell you your weight pretty accurately, but the BIA it is inaccurate. It only measures the body fat in your lower body. This is because the current from the electrode goes up one leg and down the other (the path of least resistance). It does not travel though the whole body. I recommend the next model up (the one with the handles) for more accurate reading. BIA devices have a +/- 6% error, but the good thing is that they are consistently wrong, so you can still track your ... Read More

La verdad es que estoy muy contenta con este artículo, dado que comenzamos un régimen en mi familia, es espéctacular para controlar si nuestros porcentajes de grasa bajan y los músculos suben, es muuuyy sencillo de usar y como viene con 4 memorias podemos controlar sin inconveniente nuestros progresos.
Lo único que yo le agregaría es un botón de RESET, para no tener que estar apagándolo y prendiendolo si nos queremos pesar 2 personas seguidas, por lo demás todo bien.
