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.

- A good buy, especially for the price
- $30 shipped to your door. It's hard to find a decent watch at Walmart for $30 - just think about that.
This thing works, it's simple, yes, but it does what it's supposed to do. It doesn't record any data, upload it to your pc, or do anything other than report your heart rate. For those of you who want detailed data,… More reviews
- Good price, but doesn't work
- I was drawn in by the price, and figured I'd take a chance since the reviews were about 50/50.
The product does not work as many other reviewers stated. My heart rate would read wacky and varied at rest and zero during exercise. And I'm fairly certain that I do have a heartbeat.
I thought it was worth the… More reviews

- Nice product
- This is my first HRM and it works well. The belt transmits perfectly but what watch shows can vary a lot. May be its not averaging the hear rate. But the trademill shows correct reading. I am happy with it. Only thing is you need to dip the belt in water before you ware it. More reviews
- A worthwhile investment.
- I'd been looking for a heart rate monitor for several months and the Omron HR-100C was advertised on the web site of Jillian Michaels, winning instructor for the television show "The Biggest Loser." I clicked on the item, saw that the price was fair, and knew Jillian would not recommend a bumb product. I am happy with the… More reviews
