Monitoring your body fat percentage – the proportion of fat tissue in your body – is now recognised as a better indicator of your true health than weight alone. |
Unlike traditional bathroom scales, Tanita’s Body Fat Monitors measure not only your weight, but calculate your body fat percentage too, giving a dramatic new insight into your body. | | Body fat is measured using Bioelectrical impedance analysis. A safe electrical signal is sent through the body. The signal encounters difficulty passing through fat tissue, this is then measured and set against gender height and weight, to produce the body fat calculation. This body fat monitor includes a graph function which can be used to analyse the effectiveness of a health and fitness programme over time. | | Adult and Child modes | Includes weight only function | Stores personal data for up to 4 users | Built in graph function allows the user to see their fat percentage trends for up to a 3 month period (or 18 months when readings are taken weekly) | Athlete mode for users involved in programmes of over 10 hours of aerobic exercise per week and resting pulse of below 60bpm | Weight capacity 136kg/ 21st. 6lb | Weight increments 100-200g/ 0.2-0.5lb | Body fat increments 0.1% | Scuff-resistant metal pads | Includes full instructions and 4 x AA Batteries |
