3. Start the measurement:
a) Computer needs to be in stop-mode (means no exercise is currently done).
b) Press the button „BODY FAT" to start the measurement.
c) During measuring, hold both hands firmly on the handgrip. The measurement will take
several seconds, while "-", "- -", "- - -" etc. is displayed.
4. The result:
After the measurement has ended the computer will display the results:
BMI, body fat percentage and a symbol will be shown on the display.
a) The Body-Mass-Index (BMI): This index can be calculated by dividing your weight in kg by your
double height in meters, i.e. a person with 60 kg weight and a height of 160 cm does have a
BMI of60 / 1,6 x 1,6 = 23,4.
The „ideal" BMI depends on your age:
AGE
< 24 years :
25-34 years :
35-44 years :
45-54 years :
55-64 years :
> 64 years :
If you have a lower BMI, you may weigh too less and if you have a higher BMI, your weight is
too high.
b) The bodyfat percentage & symbol:
This value indicates in percent, how much of your total body weight is consisting of fat.
With the help of this percentage you see in a more accurate way than with the BMI, if your
weight is too high. A more higher musclemass can lead to a higher BMI, but a higher
musclemass is not bad at all. But it would be, if this extra weight is because you have a high
body fat percentage. Then you need to do more exercises and start a dietary program to
reduce your body fat. Therefore this value shows you very accurately, if you are really to
heavy because of too high body fat.
There are also ideal values for the body fat percentage:
In case your computer also shows a "BMR" value,this represents your fundamental calorie consumption in
rested position.
