About the BC-554 Ironman Body Composition Monitor Scales

It’s what’s inside that counts…and Tanita’s Ironman Body Composition Monitor lets you know all about your health, from the inside, out! If you’re trying to change your weight, health or general fitness, the InnerScan Body Composition Monitor offers you a vital insight to the changes you’re making to your inner health.

Step onto a Tanita Ironman Body Composition Monitor – it’s much more intelligent than your average set of bathroom scales. When you use the InnerScan, a low-level electrical signal passes through your body to determine your body composition – your water content, your percentage of body fat, and more! Program in your age, gender and height, and your Tanita scales will measure your weight. In just seconds, you’ll have a total picture of your health. And (as if that’s not clever enough) the Tanita remembers your data, so it's even easier to track your progress towards a healthier lifestyle...

· Visceral Fat Rating – Visceral fat surrounds the internal organs in the stomach/trunk area of your body. High levels of visceral fat increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Monitoring your results can help you adjust your lifestyle to stay in the low risk range.

· Bone Weight – Indicates the weight of bone mineral in the body. The development of muscle tissue has been shown to encourage stronger, healthier bones. It is important to develop and maintain healthy bones through plenty of exercise along with a calcium rich diet.

· Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) – Indicates the number of calories your body burns when at rest. Unlike other methods of calculating BMR, Innerscan Fitness takes the amount of muscle in your body into account, giving a more accurate picture of your dietary requirements. Your BMR will tend to decrease as you get older – you can help prevent this through a regular routine of cardiovascular exercise and increased activity.

· Metabolism Age – Your BMR starts to decrease after the age of 17 and the metabolic age rating indicates what age level your body is currently rated at. Aim to keep young!

· Muscle Mass – Calculates the weight of muscle in your body.

· Physique Rating – Describes your overall physique or body shape by examining the balance between the amounts of body fat and muscle in your body.

· Athlete Mode – For people who do more than 10 hours a week intense exercise and who have a resting heart rate of under 60 beats per minute.
