Re: Tanita Scale (1 more question for )

Have you compared the Athletic setting readings to the Non-athletic

setting? I'm curious about the different in body fat % between the

two. (My scale doesn't have the athlete setting)

Calipers - 17.6%

Omron - 21.2 %

Tanita on female/athlete at night - 20.8%

Tanita on female/athlete in the morning - 23.6%

Tanita on female/normal in the morning - 31.6% (At which point, the

room spun and I closed my eyes and fell off.)

From the manual: Tanita defines " athlete " as a person involved in

intense physical activity of approximately 10 hours per week and who

has a resting heart rate of approximately 60 beats per minute or less.

Tanita's athlete definition includes " lifetime of fitness " individuals

who have been fit for years but currently exercise less than 10 hours

per week. The body fat monitor function is not intended for pregnant

women, professional athletes, or bodybuilders.

Well, heck- I knew I didn't need the athlete option.

You crack me up- 'the room spun...'. I just love your posts. You

always find a way to share useful information with us and make us

smile at the same time.

Thanks, !
