BMI methodology

You may be wondering how on earth your BMI scales work. They use a technique called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, or BIA for short and it’s a relatively simple concept. The scales release a very small (completely unnoticeable) electrical current through your body. The current passes quicker through fat free tissues such as muscle and the amount of resistance to the electrical current projects how much fat free mass a person has and their body density composition. The scales use a formula which indicates to them the body fat percentage based on the body density reading.

To achieve the most accurate results you can, try to standardise each test keeping certain variables the same. The best time to hop on the scales would be in the morning before breakfast wearing the lightest clothing possible. Ensure each time you weigh yourself you use the same clothes and perform the measurement at the same time of day.

Your scales will accurately measure your body composition over time and will help keep you motivated as you can keep track over the specific areas of your body.

Top tips for using your new, extra wide BMI scales

• Measure your progress only. Don’t compare your results to your friends or others because we are all unique individuals.
• Always measure yourself at the same time of day for each test
• Skin temperature is a variable when it comes to using your BMI scales, try to ensure you don’t hop on after being out in the boiling sun all day or certainly not after jumping out the shower.
• Never test after exercising as your hydration levels may be off due to water loss during exercise.

Always thoroughly clean the scales after each use.
