Shop For FatTrack PRO Digital Body Fat Management System with FREE Composition Tracker Body Fat Tracking Software


I was a little weary after some of the negative reviews I read here and was worried about the accuracy and overall consistency of the results given by the FatTrack. I've even resorted to taking the same measurements and readings three times just to be sure that the readings were resonably accurate.
However, my fears were totally unfounded. The product gives consistent results time and time again with little deviation (other than accounting for fat loss or fat gain of course).
I would suggest that those having problems with inconsistent results should ensure that they test themselves at the same time each day.Get more detail about FatTrack PRO Digital Body Fat Management System with FREE Composition Tracker Body Fat Tracking Software.

Low Price Polar S-Series Cadence Sensor


My attempt to purchase this item was curtailed by the fact that it can't be shipped to me. But the speed sensor can?
I'd have to rate a product that a supplier refuses to sell to me as 0 stars.Get more detail about Polar S-Series Cadence Sensor.

Save Polar RS200sd Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black)


This is a good entry level watch for a runner that wants to follow their HR during runs. The watch is only moderately complex. The numbers are legible. The basic kit comes with a strap, the sd kit comes with the footpod.

You really need to buy into the HR zones to get the full function of this watch. Otherwise, it may be a bit of overkill. The polar website has some additional instructions that help with this.Get more detail about Polar RS200sd Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black).

Discount MABIS Healthcare Fetal Stethoscope, 29", Black


I didn't have huge expectations for this because of the price, but I was hoping for something helpful. I could barely hear my own heartbeat (didn't hear baby's at all), which comes through loud and clear with a cheap stethoscope or BebeSounds monitor. Very disappointed, returned it.Get more detail about MABIS Healthcare Fetal Stethoscope, 29", Black.

Cheapest Salter 9109 Stainless Steel Body Fat and Body Water Scale


This scale, like all other digital scales I've used, varies about a pound or two between readings, but that's not really a big deal. I learned in chemistry that it's a good idea to take three readings and use the average. Typically I get two identical readings out of three and I'm happy to take the identical readings as my weight.

I really like the fat and water readings built in, as well as the multiple memory locations (up to 10) so that up to 10 can see if they are gaining or losing. A small signal is sent through the body (if you have a pacemaker, don't use this) to determine body fat; body electrical resistance is measured to determine hydration.

Salter is well-known for accurate scales and this one is no exception; plus it's sleek looking and so thin that my bathroom door will open over it so it's not in the way of the door, no matter where I put it.

Max capacity is 350 lbs. I had no problem reading the clear display of weight, fat, and water. Set up (programming) for three people was easy and quick. I like it. Get more detail about Salter 9109 Stainless Steel Body Fat and Body Water Scale.

Cheap Thinklabs ds32a Digital Stethoscope


Initially , it was great. I was very happy with it. but I noticed after 5 months, it would often have a very dampened sound eventhough the sound amplifier is turned out and battery is not old. It is also difficult to put in a coat side pocket. That aspect is manageable as I work in a clinic and in the hospital setting but very disatisfied with the sound quality after 5 months of use.Get more detail about Thinklabs ds32a Digital Stethoscope.

Buying Suunto Universal Bike Pod Wireless Transmitter


Pairing the pod is a little tricky. I tried using a magnet from my old speedometer, and it did not work. The problem is that you'll need to activate the pod before you can pair it to the watch (by simply turning the weel), and there is no indication whether that indeed worked. Documentation is a little brief. I choose to mount it on my rear wheel, and I mounted it upside down so the pod was closer to the magnet. I have no clue if these are the best choices, but it works now and since it is connected to the bike with tie-wraps I am not going to change it. Despite this, the setup was actually pretty quick, and it worked without problem for the few rides I did after installing it.

A "Wristop Computer Bike Adaptor" is included, this is a piece of plastic that fits around the handlebars, and you can mount the wristwatch on this piece of plastic. Simple but effective, except that this design was not made for oversized handlebars (31.8 clamp size), that are found on newer and/or higher end bikes. It still works, but it does not look pretty.

The screen of the T3 that I use gets a little crowded, and the numbers are small. You could buy a separate bike computer for less money, and have bigger numbers for easier readout. However, I like this bikepod, because there is very little stuff attached to the bike. Another advantage is that the stats are included on the wristwatch.Get more detail about Suunto Universal Bike Pod Wireless Transmitter.

Buy ADC e-sphyg Digital Aneroid Sphygmomanometer, Adult, Black


I've been an RN for nearly 30 years so have taken many blood pressures. This one was different from any handheld cuff I'd used since it is digital. I have to remember to turn it on before I apply it to the patient or it doesn't work right....that is not a problem. It pumped up more easily than any cuff I'd ever used but it also let the air out just as easily so took me 2 tries to learn to control that valve...not a problem. Big enough display for "older" eyes. Two nice features-backlit so can see at night easily AND automatic pulse-real time saver especially if counting respirations isn't necessary. My only complaint would be that it comes only with a standard cuff which isn't big enough for large arms-of course, it can be easily switched to another cuff if you have one. Last tidbit-comes with it's own carrying case and that's always a plus. Get more detail about ADC e-sphyg Digital Aneroid Sphygmomanometer, Adult, Black.

Order `Pik-Stik Reacher 32" Yellow


Not only a time saver, but a back saver too. I can easily bend over dozens of times picking up debris created by the work I do. At the end of a long day I certainly don't want to bend over countless times making my back ache, I would much rather be pain free on my drive home. The Pikstik has made me more productive at work, around the house, and in the garage. No more, "honey can you reach this for me" pulling me away from my football game, she has her own in the kitchen too.I have one in the garage and in each of my trucks. These things are invaluable. My shopping experience was "A1", efficient and pain free. Thank You.Get more detail about `Pik-Stik Reacher 32" Yellow.

Where To Buy Polar FT40 Beige Heart Rate Monitor for Women - Size XS/SM


This is a great heart monitor sports watch. Chest strap is comfortable to wear with no chafing, the watch readings are mostly accurate for high intensity workouts. The only thing I have noticed is that the calorie expenditure reading at low intensity workout( 50-65% VO2 max) is not very accurate. It showed only a 120 calorie bunred for an intense 1 hour 15 min of weight training which doesn't seem right.I mean you burn more than that just by doing yoga! But the cardio calorie readings are pretty close to what I expected. For 70 minutes of running @ 10 min/mile showed a 625 calorie which is close to what I expected. All and all, I think its a good watch, you can keep track of your heart rate and training zones. I just won't use it for my muscle training workouts.

Shop For Homedics SC-415 LCD 350 lb Capacity Bath Scale with 1.6" Display


Bought this as a gift, and it is a really nice scale, with nice big numbers that are easy to read.I have no way of determining the accuracy though, because no two scales weigh the exact same, although when adding 2 5# bags of sugar when standing on it, it registered another 10#. So I guess it's pretty accurate.Get more detail about Homedics SC-415 LCD 350 lb Capacity Bath Scale with 1.6" Display.

Redmon Digital Infant Scale Immediately


I purchased this scale about a year ago in order to weigh my cats. This scale is very accurate. It's perfect for cats- my cats don't mind it at all. I think the flat design is a better choice for cats than some other scales that have curved edges or raised borders. My cats can just walk right onto the scale and lay down without problems. I've never had to change the batteries, which is another plus. I purchased this a year ago when it was about $30 cheaper-- not sure why the price went up so much. Overall, a great scale for cat owners that need to monitor their cats' weight!Get more detail about Redmon Digital Infant Scale.

the reason you buy a blood pressure cuff is because some one's health hinges on the ability to have a b.p. taken and for it to be accurate.

Save CardioChek Blood Testing Device for Cholesterol and Diabetes


I've been using one of these for a little over a year and I am pretty satisfied with it. However, it is a little tricky to use. For one thing you have to be careful in drawing the sample to avoid contamination from skin creams, lotions, etc. In addition, some people have a problem sticking themselves with a lancet or other sharp object to draw blood and the application of the blood to the test strip requires a steady hand.

That being said, my results have been generally consistent from test to test (I test monthly), with only an occasional fluctuation in the results. I had the opportunity to have blood drawn for a lab test within 45 minutes of testing with the machine. The Total Cholesterol and HDL tests had a less than 10% difference. However, the Triglycerides results varied by a much larger amount. I'm not sure why this happened.

The only real complaint I have is the cost of the test strips. Still, they are much cheaper than a lab test and are an easy way to track your cholesterol between visits to your doctor.

First let me say that I was very pleased with the price and fast shipping from this company.
I have been on oxygen therapy due to a sleep disorder for about 3 years. My biggest complaint was that the cannula would hurt behind my ears beause I sleep on my side.

Order Polar G1 GPS Speed and Distance Sensor for FT60 / FT80


The only issue I have is with the armband itself. The rubber grip tends to separate from the inside of the band, a bit like the tread of a tire when it separates. This does not make the armband useless, merely a bit unattractive when I put it on and take it off. The strap itself remains functional.

The GPS tracker works fine with my FT80 watch and chest strap. I run 8-9 miles twice a week. The trees and forests don't really get in the way. If the signal gets lost, it recovers itself in a few seconds. I'm quite happy with this device.

I bought this product for my boyfriend because we thought it would be fun to have at parties, too bad it doesn't work. After several beers and waiting the 20 minutes without eating he blew a 0.0.

Polar RS400sd Heart Rate Monitor Watch with Free IRDA - USB 2.0 Interface Top Quality


The RS400 foot pod gives very repeatable results. Initially, with no calibration, the foot pod was 7% accurate for me. It didn't matter if the distance was 3 miles or 9 miles it maintained a 7% error. I did a manual correction using data from a 7 mile run and the unit is now about 1-2% accurate. I think I can improve it better if I calibrate it using data taken from a 1600m track run. I personally like doing the manual correction because it allows me go back to a previous factor if a new one does not perform better.

My wife happens to have the Garmin Forerunner 405 while I went with the Polar RS400sd so we have been able to compare both systems. They both can measure and record your workouts and come with s/w for your computer. Both s/w packages have a workout diary and allow you to define custom workouts and upload them to your watch. This feature is great for interval training. No more having to remember how many laps you've completed or how much your pace should change. I think the Garmin s/w might have a slight edge compared to Polar's. Overall both systems work very well, each with their +/-. Here are some notable features for each.

Polar RS400 Pros:
-No need to look for GPS satellite signals
-Very Repeatable results
-Calories burned calculation based on hear rate.
-Good battery life
-Display Screens very customizable
-Capable of manual calibration
-comfortable wrist unit

Polar RS400 Cons:
-Do need to calibrate foot pod for best accuracy
-Downloading workout data is temperamental with IR connection
-Auto laping feature based on start of workout not on the start of the last lap. It would be cool to be able to record a lap manually and then continue auto laping based on that point.
-foot pod is a little bulky (but surprisingly unnoticeable while running)
-Have to manually erase workout data after download. Would be nice if this was done automatically.

Garmin 405 Pros:
-GPS receiver in wrist unit
-No need to calibrate
-Actual route can be viewed on a map
-Buttonless screen navigation
-Data download connection to computer is very robust.

Garmin 405 Cons:
-Have to set you watch out for a few minutes to look for GPS satellites
-Watch unit needs to be recharged regularly (GPS is power hungry)
-Watch is a little bulky
-Buttonless screen feature can be temperamental during a workoutGet more detail about Polar RS400sd Heart Rate Monitor Watch with Free IRDA - USB 2.0 Interface.

New Chapter Cinnamonforce Capsules, 120-Count Bottle Buy Now


Studies have shown that cinnamon can help to lower blood sugar levels (glucose) by boosting the sensitivity of the cells in your body to insulin. Insulin helps the cells in your body to take up glucose from the blood stream, thus lowering your blood sugar levels. When your body cells are more sensitive to insulin, they are better able to lower your blood sugar levels.

The New Chapter Cinnamonforce Capsules may have two potential benefits:

(1) It may be beneficial as a dietary supplement if you're borderline diabetic. (Diabetes is a condition where body cells have become insulin resistant. Your body cells thus becomes less capable of uptaking glucose in your blood. As a result, your blood glucose levels become dangerously high. Cinnamon helps by bringing blood glucose levels back down.)

Contraindication: Since cinnamon supplements lowers blood sugar levels, it should NOT be taken with medication that promotes hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels).

(2) It will boost your energy levels because your body becomes more efficient at using glucose as needed as you expend energy for your activities. Cinnamon thus improves your metabolism and helps you lose weight.

---
We have been taking the New Chapter Cinnamonforce Capsules and have definitely noticed a difference in our energy levels. They seem to work as claimed. They're definitely worth looking into if you're looking into boosting your metabolism or shedding some extra pounds.
