Keeping fit is about everyone’s desire. A bathroom weight scale is handy for tracking your progress. But wait. Did you know that there are other stats that you need to consider to determine how you’re fairing towards your goals? Did you know that the modern bathroom scale does more than just check your weight?
Thanks to technology, it’s now easy to track your heart rate and compare it with the recommended standards. It’s also possible to keep track of your BMI, body fat, bone mass, and water content.
Even better, you can determine the number of calories you’ve burnt in a workout session besides the distance covered and the steps made using a tracking watch. These watches and scales automatically synchronize with health apps to deliver a detailed analysis of your cardio health.
What makes a good cardio management device?
Firstly, the tool should be easy to use. It should offer easily understandable readings. Ideally, it should keep a record of previous readings to help you note your progress.
Secondly, a family bathroom scale should keep a profile of each member without mixing up the data.
Thirdly, these devices sync with certain health apps to deliver detailed graphs of your body’s health. Know whether the package comes with a free app. If not, determine whether it’s compatible with an app of your choice.
For the watches, don’t go for a unit that is not waterproof. Luckily, most of them are.
Lastly, just like any other electronic device, go for a unit with a warranty.
