BC 601: Terrific tool from Tanita
Tanita is a pioneer and worldwide leader in body fat/composition monitoring technology and are proud to have sold nearly 20 million fat monitor scales worldwide.
Measuring weight alone is not a completely accurate assessment of health or fitness because it doesn’t distinguish kilos that come from fat and kilos that come from lean muscle mass. Everyone needs some body fat, but too much fat results in obesity.
Tanita Body Composition Analyzers work on non-invasive Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Method (BIA) – in which a safe electric signal is sent through the body via patented pressure-contact electrodes, housed in a single standalone unit. It measures directly weight and impedance values which are then converted to various body composition readings with the help of regression formulas derived by Tanita after extensive research and validation with Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) methods.

The innovative Tanita BC-601 incorporates the latest segmental technology that analyses the body in five segments: right and left arm, right and left leg and trunk, providing in-depth information on body fat percentages and muscle mass.
Segmental body composition analysis is ideal for enhancing your sports performance. It will allow you to identify any physiological and biomechanical asymmetries so that you can tailor your training and fitness regime to improve the distribution of fat and muscle mass and achieve your personal goals.
To use, place your feet over the four footplates on the platform and gently pull the hand electrodes on the sides of the platform. The monitor will then send a safe, low frequency signal through your body.
Your results are shown in the extra-large LCD colour display and the retractable cord ensures that the handset fits snugly into the main unit for easy storage. Body composition data is automatically stored on a SD card and can be downloaded onto your computer so that you can view and manage your data.
So, start monitoring your fat level, as healthy fat level will lead to a healthier lifestyle.
