• Can be used just as a weight scale.

Why should I use a Body Composition Monitor?

Maintaining a fit and healthy body is more than just about weight. Here are the benefits for tracking your total body composition with an Omron Full Body Sensor.

• Body fat percent: While having too much fat may be unhealthy, having too little can be just as unhealthy. Tracking your body fat percent lets you know you're losing the "right" weight.
• Visceral fat level: Visceral fat is found in the abdomen surrounding your vital organs. Since it's not visible to the eye, it can go undetected. Excess of visceral fat may lead to high cholesterol, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
• Skeletal muscle percent: The more skeletal muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn. Why? Because muscle burns 22% of all calories - more than anything else. So, while dieting and exercise is important, maintaining or building skeletal muscle is important to prevent rebound weight gain and maintaining strength.
• Resting metabolism: Regardless of activity level, a minimum level of caloric intake is required to sustain your body's everyday functions. Knowing your resting metabolism will help you properly plan your diet according to your weight loss or maintenance needs.
• Body age: A great yardstick of overall body condition, this number translates the fitness indictors into a measure of your body's physical age. If this number is less than your actual age, you're doing great!
• Body weight: Still an important standard of fitness, especially in combination with other fitness indicators.
• Body Mass Index (BMI): BMI is a number calculated from your weight and height. Although it does not measure fat directly (like body fat percent)), it can be used as a screening tool to identify possible health concerns.

Bioelectrical Impedance Method - Accurate Technology in Your Home

This monitor uses bioelectric impedance to measure your body fat versus lean body weight. Bioelectric Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat and other body composition measurements in the privacy of your own home. Within seconds, BI sends an extremely weak signal to measure the inside of your body. Muscle, blood, bone and body tissue have high water content, which means they conduct the BI signal easily. Body fat, however, stores no water, so the BI signal is blocked or impeded from easily traveling throughout the body. The blocked signal (or high impedance) indicates the presence of more body fat.
