Customer Reviews of Tanita BC554 Ironman Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor Elite Series
Customer Review: One person's view.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had and used this scale a bit over a month.
If you're gonna diet, workout or just live life, this is the scale which gives you the 411 as to what's happening with your insides. Three items one needs in order to monitor their vitals; an automatic blood pressure cuff, a heart rate monitor and an Ironman Tanita body composition scale. Without these three items, you're shooting in the dark.
Don't forget to get a fasting lipid (cholesterol) panel test done so you know what your numbers are cause all the exercise and dieting in the world won't save you from the affects of high lipid panel numbers.
I highly recommend this scale for one person or a family of four or more as you can program in four people's vital information. It has a guest feature so more can easily use the scale for weighing purposes. Once you figure the programming directions out, it's easy to reprogram a setting, as needed. By-the-by, the scale looks a whole lot better on the floor of the bathroom then one of those "huge" chunky Health-O-Meter scales; which I had. :)
I recommend taking time to check out the heart healthy benefits of "Extra Virgin Olive Oil" (<1% acid) coupled with a Mediterranean style of eating. (Diet.)
If you're working out with free weights, running or bicycling, check out Pure Whey Protein Isolate, Free Form Amino Acids, L-Glutamine, CoQ10 and Fish Oil; costs a bunch and worth every penny. Spend it now or spend it later on heart meds cause you can't turn back the hands of time; your choice.
If you're gonna diet, you "must" workout or you'll lose muscle mass; not good. Remember, weight loss comprises of both fat and muscle mass loss and without working out, you'll lose your muscle mass which is the engine calories feed. Calories in, calories out, anything left over is stored as fat. The bigger your engine, the more you can eat. Seems like an easy enough concept. :)
Do spend a lot of time online researching and learning about your heart rate, Zones 1-5; aerobic Vs anaerobic and take time to use your search engine to learn about what I suggested in my above so as to be able to understand what it all means. Everything you need, the basics, are in the nutshells above.
Some think the scale is pricey but what price knowledge? Some write the scale's not accurate. One just can't jump on the scale anytime they want and expect an accurate read on their percentages. Read and diligently follow the manual's instructions as to it's use. The manual clearly explains the why's.
Proper hydration is key to "accurate" and "consistant" body fat percentages. Without proper water hydration, (49.5%-50.0% for me) in the muscle tissue, the scale will give you discouragingly incorrect low muscle and high body fat readings; not good. And yes, a 1-2% change in water hydration will squirrel up your numbers big time. It's either buying this scale or submitting to an expensive, one time, inconvenient, hydrostatic (water test) body fat test. Your choice:)
Using the scale at the stated optimum time is key. Also using the scale at the same time of day, according to the directions, is also important. Be sure to stand on the scale Yoda butt naked as having your clothes on "will" squirrel up your numbers. Jumping on the scale anytime, in any manner a person feels inclined to, won't give accurate and consistant numbers. Very important, read and follow the manual.
If ya gives up some party for the extra money and follow the manual's directions, it all evens out:)
Listen to your Uncle Thomas. Hit the hip and buy the stupid scale cause you know you want one:) You'll be glad you did cause it's da bomb and worth the money for the info it provides. :)
If you missed it, I love this scale:)
Wishing you all well with your health related efforts:)
Thomas (Sherri's husband) :)
