The HBF-500 is an easy-to-use total body monitoring scale which not only calculates visceral fat, but resting metabolism and skeletal muscle mass levels -- both helpful indicators for consumers to use when determining appropriate calorie intake and exercise levels. It also displays standard values such as body fat percentage, weight and BMI to help users take proactive steps toward better health. The scale uses full-body sensing technology featuring hand grip and foot electrodes to facilitate a highly accurate reading.
