Review of the Omron HBF 306 Body Fat Analyzer
The secret to healthy weight loss is learning how to calculate body fat. When losing weight, you need to make certain you are losing fat and not muscle or else you will be slender but flabby. The Omron HBF 306 Body Fat Analyzer will calculate body fat percentage with a gentle, electrical current (don’t be concerned, you won’t feel it). It will help make certain that — once you take your shirt off — you like what you look at.
This device is an reasonably priced and straightforward way to calculate body fat percentage in the privacy of your own home. The device is priced at just under $70 and it’s so simple a preschooler can use it.
The Omron HBF 306 Body Fat Analyzer will allow you to set up a profile and save your information so you can track your progress. It will in fact save up to nine profiles, so if you are training with a group or your family, you can all share it and track your fat burning successes!
The unit gives your results in approximately seven seconds. It displays your body fat percentage, and your BMI, which tells you what percentage of your body is muscle, fat, bones, and tissue. And it is very accurate! Quite a lot of info for a small handheld apparatus!
Setting Up The Omron HBF 306 Body Fat Analyzer
The Omron HBF 306 Body Fat Analyzer features two modes — normal and athlete. When inputting your individual data the first thing you need to do is decide on which mode. Many people will already know which mode to pick, however if you intend to be very particular you can figure out which mode to pick by calculating your FIT index using the following formula:
FIT Index = Frequency x Intensity x Time
Frequency is a single digit number from one to five that represents your frequency of working out. If you train on a daily basis or almost on a daily basis, then use the number five; three to four times per week use four; one to two times per week use three; a few times per month use two; and for fewer than one time a month use one. If you workout vigorously, then you use the number five to correspond to your intensity level; if you workout with moderate or light effort, use the number four, et cetera.
Time represents the duration of your workout. If you work out for 45 minutes or more, then use the number four; 30-44 minutes use three; 15-29 minutes use two; and for fewer than 15 minutes use one. For instance, if you run five times a week for 30 minutes, your FIT index would be 75 (5 x 5 x 3 = 75) . If your FIT index is greater than 60, use the athlete setting, if under 60 use the normal setting.
The Device will next ask for your height, weight, age and gender. When all the data is fixed and stored, the analyzer screen will show “Ready,” and you’ll be prepared to grab the grips and calculate body fat percentage.
Omron leads the industry in body fat monitors and other measuring devices such as blood pressure monitors, et cetera. The Omron HBF 306 Body Fat Analyzer is one of Omron’s most popular devices. The results are accurate, the appliance is simple to use, it’s very portable, lightweight, and greatest of all — the cost is appropriate! We highly recommend this product and give it a 9 out of 10!
