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.

Fun little toy, but arrives with dead battery October 15, 2008
This heart monitor works well and gives you great feedback about how hard you are working so that you can tell if you are in the low aerobic, high aerobic, or anaerobic zone. It's really comfortable to wear. Note, however, if you are small, you may need to tuck the chest band up under your sports bra to get it to stay in place. I have no problem doing that.
My main complaint is that it arrives with a dead battery in the watch. I thought this was a fluke, and liked the monitor so much that I ordered a second one as a gift for someone else...but it ALSO arrived with a dead watch battery. You have to take the watch to a jeweler to get the battery replaced. It's a pain and annoying, but the monitor does seem to work great once you get it.
Oh, one other caveat - there does seem to be interference with our stairmaster. You can't keep the watch on your arm if you hold on near the stairmaster display. It won't read. You have to take it off and attach it somewhere away from the display. I believe it is some kind of electronic interference.
 Highly recommend October 14, 2008
Great product! I wanted a simple, easy to use, inexpensive heartrate monitor. It is accurate, and perfect to keep my heart rate in the fat-burning zone, or in the aerobic zone, whichever I choose for my workout. I love the little alarm beep to tell me if I have dropped too low, or am going too high, without having to look at the watch all the time.
Pulse rate monitor October 13, 2008
I purchased this item to provide data on aerobic activity. I ride a bicycle for aerobics. The bicycle computers which offer a pulse monitor are much more expensive, and I prefer the bicycle computer I now have. While I cannot comment on longevity (I've only had it a couple of weeks), thusfar it has performed flawlessly. Last week I used my stationary bicycle instead of the my regular bicycle for a workout. I wore the Omron while using the stationary bicycle. The rates shown by the monitor on the bicycle and the Omron were within 1 or 2 beats. I am satisfied with the product.
Omicron October 10, 2008
Does excellent job of reporting heart rate. Includes watch and alarm for maximum and minimum rates. Simplicity plus makes it good for me
Excellent product, works just as intended! October 7, 2008
I've never used a heart rate monitor while running before, and now I am not sure why I did not try this sooner. The monitor works flawlessly every time. Simple design with everything you need (monitor, stopwatch, time, etc...).
I was worried at first that the sensor strap would be uncomfortable (I had never worn one before, and everything annoys me when I run), but it was not bad at all! 2 minutes into my run I already forget I am still wearing it, and it never slides off or anything.
I highly recommend this products to the runners out there!!!
