Tanita Ironman Body Composition Monitor - BC553

While we’ll all agree that these holiday staples are among the finer things in life, but they can certainly have their drawbacks. It’s almost impossible to get through the holiday season without putting on at least a couple extra pounds of fat. Not to fear, though, because Tanita’s got just what you need to get back and stay in shape.

If you’ve never heard of Tanita, it is the world’s leader in body fat and weight measurement. Its reputation for product accuracy and quality has made Tanita the standard against which other scales and body fat monitors are weighed. A few years ago, before Tanita revolutionized the health market, the only measurement that health-concerned people took was body weight. The problem with that is that it doesn’t distinguish between fat and muscle. A body builder with minimal body fat, though he weights more than the Body Mass Index deems healthy, may in fact be completely healthy. Tanita realized this disparity and designed products to better measure fitness.

The Tanita scales vary widely in terms of their features. The most basic ones simply give you one reading – be it weight or body fat. These basic monitors are useful for people looking to measure their fitness fairly accurately. Although these scales are useful for some purposes, their user must keep in mind that a single-measurement.

Tanita’s body composition monitors are meant to give you accurate readings on your weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone mass and body water percentage. From there the scale gives you a physique rating, acting as your own personal doctor.

Tanita body composition monitors are owned and used by people of all walks of life; from elite athletes to business professionals, Tanita users find their scales to give them all the readings necessary to maintaining health to the best of their abilities.
