The Omron Body Analyzer is an integral part of my fitness regimen. It is better than a scale, and it puts the myths about the accuracy of BMI (Body Mass Index) to rest. While scales tell you how much you weigh, they do little else. This machine not only gives your weight, but it also breaks the myth of  The Body Mass Index as the gold standard health. Do you have questions about Body Fat Percentage? How about Muscle Tissue Percentage?  Would you like to know what percentage of your body is actually muscle tissue? Maybe you have questions about the most dangerous sleeper hiding within the vast majority of American Bodies—Visceral Fat Percentage.  This machine gives you your BMI and answers all those other nagging questions. In addition, it crunches the numbers and gives you a personal body age relative to the aforementioned numbers.

Ease of Use—5 Stars
This thing can track history for up to 4 people. You simply turn it on, pick a number, and begin adding your data such as gender, age, height, and it crunches your numbers relative to this data. When you wake up in the morning, make sure you have made your bathroom run in order to get a true reading, take off your socks and begin. Stand on the four magnets so that the ball of each foot touches the respective front, and the heel touches the appropriate rear magnet. You stand there and hold the hand reader in one hand until the weight stops flashing. Then you bring the hand held reader up to chest level and hold it in the palms of your hands. When it stops flashing and gives the weight, you are ready to analyze the breakdown through the simple means of pressing the proper buttons on the hand held portion.
The Breakdown—5 Stars
Like any scale, it gives you your proper weight. Press the button again and it gives you your BMI. Move to the next button and press it once for your bodies’ fat percentage. Press it again, and it gives you your muscle tissue percentage. Move to the next button and press it to get your bodies’ age relative to the numbers. Press the next button to get your visceral fat percentage. This is the fat that kills, so it is very important to track. This is the fat that renders organs inefficient and eventually--useless. The numbers are extremely accurate as they have been polled against the machine at my cardio therapy class, and they match.

Overall—5 Stars
For $75 you get a clinically accurate analysis. That is a very important part of any fitness program. You can really run across a lot of expensive pieces of equipment as regards your health, but few of them will ever pay you back as much as this one has me. It shoots straight with you, so that you can get fit by the numbers. The rest is up to you.
