Tanita's patented "foot pad" design sends a low, safe electrical current through the body to measure its composition. The electrical current passes more easily through lean muscle than fat. Body composition is calculated mathematically, based upon the speed at which the signal passes through the body. Modeled after monitors Tanita developed for the medical and fitness industries in 1992, the Tanita Body Fat monitors use the same revolutionary method of measuring bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) that give you a fast, easy, less intrusive, safe, and accurate way of measuring your body fat. As simple and easy as stepping on a traditional scale, it gives you an accurate reading of both weight and body fat within 30 seconds!
