Body Fat Tester Kit: Includes Caliper, Instructions and Measuring Chart

Body Fat Tester Kit: Includes Caliper, Instructions and Measuring Chart Review



Get the skinny on body fat.
A body fat tester is easy to use, and is an essential tool for monitoring your health and tracking your fitness progress.

Excess body fat is associated with an increased chance of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, stroke, and some cancers. Emotional health and well-being can also be at risk due to societal pressures to be thin.

Can you have too little body fat?
Just as with having too much body fat, there are health risks associated with having too little body fat! Some of these include hypothermia, vitamin toxicity, and both cessation of menstrual cycle and osteoporosis in women.

Remember, some fat is necessary. The fat that surrounds the spinal cord, heart, and vital organs is called "essential" fat and is necessary to sustain life. Essential fat makes up approximately 9% to 10% of total body weight in women and 2% to 3% in men.

Why should I use a Body Composition Monitor?
Maintaining a fit and healthy body is more than just about weight. Here are the benefits for tracking your total body composition with an Omron Full Body Sensor.
 
 
 
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat and other body composition measurements in the privacy of your own home. Within seconds, BI sends an extremely weak signal to measure the inside of your body. Muscle, blood, bone and body tissue have high water content, which means they conduct the BI signal easily. Body fat, however, stores no water, so the BI signal is blocked or impeded from easily traveling throughout the body. The blocked signal (or high impedance) indicates the presence of more body fat.
 
Power and Dimensions
The HBF-514C uses (4) AA batteries that last with normal use for about a year. The main unit measures 13 x 12 x 2.2 inches (L x W x H) and weighs 4.7 pounds.

Ozeri Touch Digital Bathroom Scale -- Measures Weight, Body Fat, Hydration, Muscle and Bone Mass with Auto Recognition Technology for 8 Personal Profiles Review



Ozeri Touch Digital Bathroom Scale -- Measures Weight, Body Fat, Hydration, Muscle and Bone Mass with Auto Recognition Technology for 8 Personal Profiles Feature

  • New InstaOn Technology automatically powers on upon contact to display weight measurements and automatically powers off to converse battery power. No tapping needed to activate the scale.
  • Uses advanced algorithms to calculate Body Fat, Hydration Levels, Muscle Mass and Bone Index measurements within seconds of stepping onto the scale.
  • Features 3 Touch Sensitive Buttons for easy operation and 4 icons that automatically illuminate for Body Fat, Hydration, Muscle and Bone measurements.
  • Utilizes 4 high precision G sensors to weigh up to 400 pounds (180 kilograms) in 0.2lb or 0.1kg increments.
  • Elegant reflective black surface is made of high quality impact-resistant tempered glass, which is 4 times stronger than normal glass.
With the ability to provide instant weight measurements and calculate body fat, hydration, muscle mass and bone measurements, the Ozeri Touch Digital Bathroom Scale is one of the most advanced bathroom scales. With embedded InstaOn technology, it automatically powers on upon contact. No more tapping needed to activate the scale. It features 3 Touch Sensitive Buttons for easy operation, and 4 icons that automatically illuminate on the screen for Body Fat, Hydration, Muscle and Bone measurements. The Ozeri Touch includes built-in memory for up to 8 user profiles. Each profile stores weight, gender, height, and age data so that your family members or friends can each track their progress. The Ozeri Touch Digital Bathroom Scale combines advanced algorithms with bioelectrical impedance analysis (BI), incorporating a person's age, height, gender and weight to accurately calculate advanced measurements. BI is a well established and respected method used to estimate body fat and hydration. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues with a relative high water content which conducts electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that on the other hand displays much less electric conductivity. With BI, the Ozeri Scale sends a weak and harmless electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak electrical current is imperceptible to the user, and returns back data that is used to instantly calculate the advanced measurements. The Ozeri Touch displays all results on its new easy to read 3-1/2-inch LCD screen in a new bright blue font. It utilizes 4 latest generation G sensors to capture weights up to 400lbs with industry leading accuracy. The scale turns off automatically to conserve battery power, and runs on 2 included Lithium batteries for longer performance than AA and AAA batteries. The scale is made of impact resistant tempered glass which is 4 times stronger than normal glass, and boasts a reflective back surface and elegant design.
