Amazon.com Product Description The Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor is easy to program and a cinch to wear with a ventilated watch band. Knowing your heart rate is important because if you're working out too hard, your activity can actually become counter productive and strain or damage muscles.  Monitor your heart rate with Omron's HR-100C. View larger. | To achieve an effective workout, no matter what the aerobic activity, you must maintain your heart rate at a proper level for a minimum of 20 minutes. In general, the proper level falls between 65 percent-85 percent of your maximum heart rate. To ensure you don't drop above or below your proper level, the HR-100C is built with an alarm option that indicates low and high heart rates. Omron includes a chest transmitter belt with the wristwatch-style monitor. This transmitter sends data to the receiver on your wrist at a distance up to 98 feet (30 meters). The HR-100C is built with a backlight function for exercising after nightfall, and it also displays time of day and a daily reminder alarm feature. Also included is a mounting bracket that makes it easy to attach the watch receiver to most treadmills and bicycles and a soft, zippered storage case. What's in the Box HR-100C hear rate monitor, chest transmitter, mounting bracket, and zippered storage case. | Compare Omron Fitness Monitors |  |  HB-400 |  HB-500 |  HBF-306 |  HR-100 | | Measurement | - Body fat percentage

Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender. What is visceral fat? Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin). What is resting metabolism? Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight. What is skeletal muscle? Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.

Didn't Work ... Don't waste your time ... Buy a different brand August 30, 2010 Lawrence M. Topping I read the enclosed product booklet that came w/ the Omron heart monitor and I followed all of the set-up instrucions, but the heart monitor just didn't do anything. It registered the time, but it never displayed anything else durring my treadmill workout. I pressed the correct button, the correct number of times and ... no change. I don't need another watch, I need a heart monitor.
Good value August 30, 2010 Rose Richard (Seongnam-si, Kyeonggi-do Korea (South)) This is a good product. I was surprised to see that it synced with some of the equipment in my gym. It's easy to use.
heart monitor worth it August 24, 2010 Kenneth P. Kulko (wilmington, de USA) I like the price for the monitor and the strap and ease of set up. it picks my heartrate up right away, had no problem with that.
i do have an issue with the buckle. i have to keep putting it back on. when i take the wrist monitor off, the metal buckle keeps popping off and i have to search for it. i will contact them regarding this to replace it. that is the ONLY issue i had with it. easy to read and program.
Great monitor for its price! August 23, 2010 H. J. Ortiz I just want to say that this little monitor works great. It is a good investment for its price. Granted that someone might get a lemon here and there, lemons are a problem when they're not well backed, but Amazon does a great job at backing your purchase, so don't worry. One thing to consider would be the fact that this monitor's transmission is not encoded, so you might get some interference in a very crowded gym with lots of these. Otherwise it's a very good choice for someone that wants an inexpensive(not cheap) Heart Rate Monitor that will warn them about their high and low zones. Give it a try. You'll probably stick with it.
Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor August 23, 2010 Stephen Hoffhines (Washington DC) Excellent performance. Works great and reliably as a simple heart rate monitor, especially at this price point.

Vitamin Supplements
There are a number of essential vitamins
that the body needs to function properly and it is possible to take
these in the form for vitamin supplement. The majority of people do not
have a balanced diet and they may be lacking in certain vitamins which
means that they require a vitamin supplement to ensure that they do not
have a deficiency of an essential vitamin. A health professional or
dietary technician is the best person to give advice on any vitamin
supplement that a person should take. It is important to seek
professional advice before taking any vitamin supplement. This is
because there are some vitamins that can be toxic if too much is
consumed and a vitamin supplement may not be appropriate if there is
enough of the vitamin already in the food a person eats.
Some categories of people may require more types of vitamin supplement
than others. Vegetarians are often deficient in certain vitamins that
are only found in animal products, for example, and a vitamin supplement
is the ideal solution to this problem. Vegetarians do need to be aware
that some vitamin supplement manufacturing processes involve animal
products and it is important for them to read the labels. A large number
of synthetic vitamin supplement products are available which will enable
a vegetarian to take them without contravening their dietary beliefs or
needs.

Children will often need a vitamin supplement, especially when they are
extremely young. This is because a lot of children do not eat a
sufficient variety of foods in their early years and a vitamin
supplement can help compensate for this natural deficiency. Breast
feeding has long been recommended as a source of all the essential
nutrients but women who choose not to or are unable to bottle feed may
be concerned as to whether their baby needs a vitamin supplement. The
large majority of baby milk formulas contain additional vitamins to
prevent the need for a vitamin supplement to be given. It is important
to discuss any concerns over the need for a baby or child to take a
vitamin supplement with a health professional to ensure that the correct
solution is found.
Elderly people or those suffering from certain diseases or illnesses are
other groups of people that may need to take a vitamin supplement. The
body may often need a vitamin
supplement to compensate for a person not
being able to consume the recommended daily allowance of certain
vitamins through their normal diet.
