Manual

The Bodywise Stainless Steel Analyser uses BIA (Bio Impedance Analysis) technology which passes a

tiny electrical impulse through the body to determine fat from lean tissue, the electrical impulse

cannot be felt and is perfectly safe. Contact with the body is made via stainless steel pads on the

platform of the scale (or an almost invisible ITO coating on the surface of the glass*).

This method simultaneously calculates your personal weight, body fat, total body water, BMI, Basal

Metabolic Rate and muscle mass, giving you a more accurate reading of your overall health and fitness.

This scale will also display weight, body fat and total body water for children and young adults aged

6-17 years. Muscle mass, BMI and BMR are not shown for this age range.

This scale stores the personal data of up to 12 users.As well as being an analyser scale, this scale can

be used as a conventional scale.

HOW DOES THE BODYWISE STAINLESS STEEL ANALYSER SCALE WORK?

The human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat.This is vital for a healthy,

functioning body - it cushions joints and protects vital organs, helps regulate body temperature, stores

vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food is scarce. However, too much body fat or indeed

too little body fat can be damaging to your health. It is difficult to gauge how much body fat we have in

our bodies simply by looking at ourselves in the mirror.

This is why it is important to measure and monitor your body fat percentage. Body fat percentage

gives you a better measure of fitness than weight alone – the composition of your weight loss could

mean you are losing muscle mass rather than fat - you could still have a high percentage of fat even

when a scale indicates ‘normal weight’.

BODY FAT - WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Body water is the single most important component of body weight. It represents over half of your

total weight and almost two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly muscle).

Water performs a number of important roles in the body:

All the cells in the body, whether in the skin, glands, muscles, brain or anywhere else, can only function

properly if they have enough water.Water also plays a vital part in regulating the body’s temperature

balance, particularly through perspiration.

The combination of your weight and fat measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but your body

hydration level could be insufficient for healthy living.

BODY WATER - WHY MEASURE IT?

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is an estimation of the energy (measured in calories) expended by

the body, at rest, to maintain normal body functions.This continual work makes up about 60-70% of

the calories the body uses, and includes the beating of your heart, respiration, and the maintenance of

body temperature.Your BMR is influenced by a number of factors, including age, weight, height, gender,

dieting and exercise habits.

BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR) - WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ASCM), lean muscle mass may decrease by

nearly 50 percent between the ages of 20 and 90. If you don’t do anything to replace that loss you’re

losing muscle and increasing fat. It is also important to know your muscle mass % during weight

reduction.At rest, the body burns approximately 110 additional calories for each kilo of muscle gained.

Some advantages of gaining muscle mass include:

My scale shows an unrealistically low weight when I stand on it, why is that? Verified
