Weight, Body Fat, Body Water Scale With Athlete Mode - Multi-Frequency

Tanita's most expensive Weight, Body Fat, Body Water scale sold. Why? It's designed with the most expensive material and tested to the highest standards in the industry. This scale must be seen to appreciate.

Tanita's body water monitor scales use Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA), the same accurate technology used for body fat monitoring. BIA passes freely through the fluids contained in muscle tissue and in blood, but it encounters difficulty when passing through fat tissue, which contains little water. By using the impedance reading, gender, height, and weight, the scale can quickly and reliably calculate body fat and total body water percentages. Proper hydration is essential for life. Maintaining a healthy body water% improves all overall health and keeps you feeling energized and operating at a peak performance. As a general guideline the average TBW% ranges for a healthy adult are: Female 45 to 60% Male 50% to 65%.

Body fat monitoring is an essential tool for precisely measuring your body's inner health. Tanita Body Fat Monitors provide vital in-depth information, that allows you to accurately observe the impact of a diet and fitness program. 

The Athlete Mode was developed to provide a more accurate reading for athletic body types. Athletes tend to be physiologically different then standard adult body types, due to muscle mass and hydration level difference. These differences would skew the body fat reading as high, when taken in the standard adult mode. 

An athlete is someone who:

• Engages in intense physical activity for approximately 12 hours per week, or more
• Belongs to a sports team or a sport organization that competes 
• Is a professional athlete
• Is looking to increase muscle mass
