Omron Walking Pocket Pedometer | Hj-113 Upgrade to Hj-112 with Belt Holder and Security Strap

Steve — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:36:42 +0000

A simple pedometer can be invaluable in the battle against becoming inactive and sedentary. The Omron Hj-113 is easy to use, cheap and effective. A simple goal of reaching 1,000, 5,000 or 10,000 steps per day can be incredibly motivating.

The Omron Hj-113 is an upgrade to the phenomenally popular Hj-112. It offers all the benefits of the earlier version with a few extras. The Hj-113 includes a full 7-day history for aerobic minutes as well as steps, miles, total minutes and calories burned, while sporting an attractive new look in a slightly smaller package…all at a lower price.

The Hj-113 features a large, easy to read display with intuitive readouts and control. The package comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap.

See the Omron Hj-720ITC for another popular Omron Pedometer that includes Health Management Software.

Omron Body Fat/Composition Monitor and Scale | HBF-514C Full Body Sensor

Steve — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:13:24 +0000

The Omron HBF-514C builds on the lower-priced HBF-500 Body Fat Monitor and Scale with additional features and a more attractive design.

Maintaining a fit and healthy body is not just about monitoring weight. The Omron HBF-514C measures your entire body composition with seven fitness indicators:

Body fat%
Body mass index (BMI)
Skeletal muscle%
Visceral fat level
Body age
Resting metabolism
Body weight

Click here to see the benefits of each.

The HBF-514C utilizes six advanced sensors, 2 for your hands and 4 for your feet. It stores personalized information for up to four people with a 90 day history plus a guest mode.

There’s some debate about the true accuracy of the measurements, especially for those with large muscle mass. The user manual states that body fat percentage results can be false for bodybuilders.

The package comes with manual, registration card, worksheet for logging results and 4 AA baterries.

Omron Step Counter HIP Pedometer| Track Walking Steps, Calories Burned and Distance Travelled

Steve — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:36:05 +0000

Here’s a simple but effective device priced near the entry level of the Omron spectrum of pedometers. The HJ-151 displays steps, moderate steps and aerobic steps. The latter is defined as more than 60 steps per minute after 10 minutes of continuous walking. It also measures distance traveled and calories burned.

A 7 day history feature tracks a full week of exercise and the monitor resets at midnight automatically, ready to go each morning. It comes with PC software that keeps track of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly progress.

Unlike more advanced pedometers, the HJ-151 must be positioned correctly to provide accurate readouts. While attached to your belt or top of your waistband the pedometer should be horizontal to the ground.

The unit is powered by a replaceable lithium battery that will last approximately one year when used for walking 10,000 steps a day.

The Omron’s HJ-151 Pedometer is not bulky, is easy to setup and use and great for those who need a motivational tool to encourage physical activity.

Omron HJ-303 GoSmart Tri-Axis Pocket Pedometer | Premium Digital Walking/Running Step Counter

Steve — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 00:13:51 +0000

The Omron HJ-303 GoSmart is unique to the pedometer field in that it works in any position: facing up, down, at an angle or flat. It provides continues and accurate measurements with the device in your pocket, backpack, purse or on a hip clip.

The 3D Smart Sensor measures physical activity based on the body’s inertial movements using X, Y and Z planes (tri-axis), and calculates exactly when a step is taken. By contrast, standard pendulum type pedometers are not as adept at filtering out non-walking movements that can cause inaccuracies. Omron claims the precision rate of step counting to be within +/- 5%.

In addition to steps, the HJ-303 measures distance and calories burned. It also includes seven day memory, a clock and a sleep mode.

The HJ-303 is a superior device for continuous walking or running but tends to time out relatively quickly when used by fitness enthusiasts who abruptly stop and start during workouts.

Although larger than a pedometer watch the HJ-303 is sleek and light, and hardly noticeable when using the clip.

The package includes the pedometer, holder, strap & clip, lithium battery, screwdriver and instruction manual.

Omron HJ-303 GoSmart Tri-Axis Pocket Pedometer Product Details

Tri-axis acceleration sensor counts steps when used flat, horizontally and vertically
Superior 3D Senor Techology accurately reads X,Y Z Planes
Works in pocket, bag or on clip
Counts every step quietly and accurately
Calculates calories burned
Stores 7 days of information in memory
Resets automatically at midnight so it’s ready to go each morning
Includes lithium battery that lasts 6 months with normal use

Omron Body Fat Monitor and Scale HBF-500 | Measure Weight, BMI, Muscle Percentage, Metabolism and More

Steve — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 20:01:19 +0000

The Omron Body Fat Monitor and Scale uses full body sensing technology to accurately measure weight, body fat, visceral fat, skeletal muscle and resting metabolism. Knowing you’re losing actual body fat, not just water weight will keep you motivated, and the additional indicators help determine your ideal exercise levels and calorie intake.

The built-in memory lets you compare past levels with your current statistics and goals and stores personal histories for up to four people. Comprehensive body composition monitoring is viewable on the unique retractable hand held display screen. When the handlebar is lowered, the device looks like a regular scale.

The Omron Body Fat Monitor and Scale offers a wide array of useful functions. Basic measurements can be seen immediately but getting up to speed with all the features may require some time with the instruction book. We’d like to see future versions incorporate a USB output option for exporting and tracking results on a PC. But overall this is an excellent product that can benefit all fitness levels.

Omron Body Fat Monitor and Scale Product Details

Weight Display: 0 to 300 pounds in 0.2 pound increments
Body fat percentage: 5 to 60 percent in 0.1 percent increments
