I have tried several pedometers over the last couple of years. I found this one to be easy to program and use. The numbers are big enough it can be read easily without my glasses. I have tested against other machines to see the accuracy of my numbers and found it to be right on the mark. I loved it so much I have bought one for my walking partner!

I have lost approximately 70 lbs. in the last 4 months... I'd have an exact figure if only I had not put off purchasing this scale until 2 and a half months ago!

This is the best scale I've ever utilized and provides me daily input as to the reality of my momentum! Prior to this scale I never listened to scales as I started off as a 300 lb. large framed male, my weight could fluctuate as much as 12 lbs. in a day and 3 of the 5 reputable weight charts out there have my end weight falling below my actual lean body mass as I am large framed and am putting on considerable muscle. I'd weigh myself but pay more attention to how I fit into clothing as a motivator.

This scale tells me everyday exactly where I am and where I'm going! Each morning I hop on and log my weight, ... Read More

This is a great idea, they sent 2 in error but I decided to keep them both, one for upstair and one for downstair. For the price it was worth it.

This monitor provided poor results. I compared it to readings at home with an Omron wrist monitor (ModelRX2). It typically reads 20-25 units higher than the wrist monitor for both systolic and diastolic. The wrist monitor has been reasonably consistent and agrees well with my readings at the doctor's office, and another wrist monitor (HEM-608). I took this monitor to the doctor's office as well, and it was 30 units higher than the nurse's and doctor's measurements. My doctor recommended I not use it. He was more pleased with my wrist monitor. As such I have returned the HEM-90IT and am using the wrist monitor since I have much more confidence in it. I bought this unit for its computer record keeping, but its not worth it if I have little confidence in the numbers.

Assessing your body fat is an accurate method of determining your level of fitness and health.

This caliper is small and convenient. However, there are pitfalls. As you squeeze your skin fold, there is some variability from one measurement to the next due to its light construction. It is not durable over time with repetetive use and I question its validity beyond a 1 year time interval. Mine broke a little over 15 months at the 'hinge' opposite to the slide rule.

Conclusion

It is a portable, small tool for assessing your body composition but its durability over time is questionable (as is its accuracy).

This is an easy to read get fit book geared to men over 50. Written in a conversational style but with plenty of hard science to back it up, the book informs and motivates. The program is easy to do so it's hard to find excuses for not feeling better next year. Who wouldn't want that?

First of all, about the style and tone of this book. It was repetitive and not well written. The authors' illustrative stories were not all that interesting or relevant, and after the first third of the book or so I found myself skimming. This thick book is like a padded but superficial summary of the bulk of the self-help book market already out there, but provides no new information. Instead, the same basic concepts are repeated ad infinitum. Exercise. Don't eat junk. Have good relationships. Take care of yourself. And not exactly motivating to me as a woman. Lines like, "And it is at least possible that you are a big fat piggy..." come across as glib and demeaning.

This book might be revelatory or motivating to someone who has done little or no exercise, has no clue how to eat properly, ... Read More
