Calculate Your Fit Index - Omron HBF-306C Instruction Manual

CALCULATE YOUR FIT INDEX

The Fat Loss Monitor can be set to either NORMAL or ATHLETE mode, based on your
activity level.
Normal Mode:
• For people with lower activity, frequency, intensity and time
• For people who are currently not exercising or active
Athlete Mode:
• For people with higher activity, frequency, intensity and time
Calculate your FIT index with this formula:
FIT Index = (A) Frequency x (B) Intensity x (C) Time
Set to NORMAL = FIT Index < 60
Set to ATHLETE = FIT Index ≥ 60
