Page 4: Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions Scale Programming The Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale can be programmed to calculate the body fat composition of up to two different users. A few steps must be followed to input the user’s height, age and gen- , der. - Page 5 INSTRUCTIONS FOR WEIGHT READING: 1. Place the scale on a flat, level surface. A hard surface is best for maximum accuracy. Placing the scale on a soft, surface, such as a deep pile rug, may affect weighing accuracy. 2. Tap the scale on the lower left or right corner of the platform to activate.
- Page 6 6. “000” will blink and your weight will appear on the display for approximately 3 seconds. 7 “BF” will flash and your body fat % will appear on the display. 8. The scale will turn off automatically after a couple of seconds. NOTE: For accurate body fat measurement estimates always measure in bare feet.
- Page 7 Monitoring Body Fat Promotes Healthy Weight Loss! Amy and Sue are both 5’4” and weigh 150 pounds. Each has a starting body fat % of 35.75%. To get fit, Amy cut calories and tried a “fat-free” diet. Sue reduced her calorie intake, but added regular aerobic exercise and strength training.
- Page 8 Aerobic Exercise or Cardiovascular Training raises your heart rate, strengthening your heart and lungs while you burn calories. Cardiovascular exercises include cycling, swimming, power walking or running, and aerobic classes. To be effective, you must reach and stay within your “target heart rate,” defined as 50-70% of your maximum heart rate.
- Page 9 Monitor Your Body Fat You’ve already learned how important proper body fat levels are for total health and fitness. Now you’ll learn how to find your body fat baseline and get the maximum benefit from your Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale. Every body is different, and ever-changing.
- Page 10 Measuring estimated body fat and weight together gives you a more accurate picture of your total fitness. As part of a fitness plan, it helps you set more realistic goals, and better reflects a positive healthy change in your overall body composition. Unlike weight, body fat levels do not fluctuate in response to gains or losses of muscle or water content.
- Page 11 Your Healthy LIfestyle Health and fitness isn’t just about counting calories or cutting fat. Getting in great shape and staying fit means eating right, exercising regularly, and monitoring your weight and body fat together. Eat Smart! Never say “diet!” Did you know you can actually get “fatter” by los- ing weight too quickly on crash diets? Why? Because radically reducing your calorie intake makes you lose muscle not fat.
