Body Fat Analyzer and Scale
How the Body Fat Analyzer and Scale Works:
This instrument uses BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). BIA is one of the most
accurate methods of measuring body fat. It sends a harmless signal through the fat
and muscle in your body. This method calculates both your personal weight and
body fat simultaneously, thus giving you a more accurate reading of your overall
health and fitness.
Why it is Important to Measure Your Body Fat:
Body fat is a vital measure of your overall health and fitness. Research has
shown that healthy body fat levels can help reduce your risk of developing
serious health related problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
heart disease and diabetes. In the past, you would have to consult a medical or
fitness professional to obtain a measure of your body fat through an expensive and
time-consuming process. Today, with Taylor's Body Fat Analyzer and Scale,
simply enter your personal data and step onto the platform.
Caution
BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) method determines your body fat percentage
by sending a harmless signal through the body. Do not use this product if you have a
pacemaker or other internal medical device. When in doubt, contact your physician.
This analyzer will give accurate body fat readings for a majority of people, but is not
intended for use by the following groups:
Children: Anyone under the age of 10 years
Pregnant Women
Athletes: Anyone that does more than 10 hours or more per week of aerobic
activity and has a resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute, especially
Body Builders and Professional Athletes.
Note: This instrument is a personal monitor and should be used in a consistent
manner for the most accurate reading. While readings might vary between this
analyzer and other methods of measurement (hydrodensitometry or hand held
calipers), your changes in body fat percentage shown by this instrument will be
reflected accurately.
While this analyzer will work accurately as a scale for anyone and give accurate
body fat readings for a majority of people, it is not intended for use by pregnant
women, children under 10, or athletic individuals. (see Caution)
