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.

Rating: - Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor
This product does exactly what it says it will do and at a very reasonable price.The chest strap transmitter is reasonably comfortable. In addition to transmitting to the watch/receiver most cardio machines in my local gym are also compatible with its signal (exercise bike, treadmill, rowing machine, stair walker, and elliptical).This is particularly welcome as it frees up my hands from the cardio machine sensor pads and lets me concentrate more on the workout.The watch is a no frills receiver ...

Rating: - Best Low Cost HR Monitor
I bought this to replace my Polar transmitter that stopped working reliably even after changing the battery.The Omron HR-100C works great and the watch and transmitter were less costly than replacing the Polar transmitter alone. You need to wet the sensor pads before you put chest transmitter on, just like the Polar transmitter. All the machines at my gym picked up the signal perfectly. Even my Polar F11 works with the transmitter.The watch is basic and easy to read.The watch doesn't show the time ... Read More
