Maybe you remember this from grade school? You can still do that if you want to! Here is a digital caliper, the Fat Track II. First, how a caliper works in general. You pinch a portion of your skin up away from your body. The ...             Body Fat Caliper by Accu-Measure30 reviews Accu-Measure Accu-Measure Very happy with this purchase Having read the other reviews, I personally am very happy with my purchase. I have had no problem with the measurments being off. I also used an online calculation system and used other pinch points. However, I ended up with the same ending body fat calcuation I got with the one point the package insert gives direction on. Not sure if it matters or not as far as how the product works, but I ...             Newline Champagne Digital Kitchen Food Scale16 reviews NewLine NewLine great for baking this scale is great for flours and other dry goods which can compact and give you distorted amounts if you weigh by volume. The bread making has improved since we left measuring cups and started weighing. It is sensitive enough to get exact amounts and strong enough to handled the quantity of flour for large loaves.             Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 Personal Body Fat Tester28 reviews Accufitness Accufitness Great little device Considering the price and simplicity of this little tool, I really like it a lot. As other reviewers have said, it does take a little getting used to to ensure repeatability though. Here's why: These calipers use a clever little "half arm" sticking out from the side to help you to gage how hard to pinch before taking your reading. At the tip off this half arm is a little round tip that, as you ...             Reebok Fitwatch 10M Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch1 review Reebok Reebok works intermittently Title says it all - sometimes takes 2/3 tries to get a reading, by which time my heart rate has gone down. Not too useful. Worked fine at the beginning so hope this is not a problem that will get worse.             Omron HJ-151 Hip Pedometer for Aerobic Activity33 reviews Omron Omron, 2007 Best Pedometer I've ever owned! I wanted to monitor and increase how much walking I do in a day. I purchased several pedometers from local stores but none really worked well. Some would reset when I sat in a chair with arm-rests, others were very inaccurate, a few were just hard to read. I bought this Omron based on the reviews hoping it would be better. Amazon got it delivered rapidly and I put it to use the next day. Now, ...             ADC Tape Measure2 reviews ADC ADC, 2007 Functional Tape Measure This tape measure is functional and compact. Also has a button on top for quick retraction. Good for simple measurements.             Omron HEM-711AC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with IntelliSense223 reviews Omron Omron, 2005 accurate, not too hard to use It's a bit fussy about the position of your arm, but it works quite well. I took it with me to my doctor's office this morning to compare readings, and his BP cuff and this were in good-enough agreement for me to trust.             MyoTape Body Tape Measure39 reviews Accufitness Accufitness Seems silly, really helpful! Over the months I've been losing weight, I've used a regular 'sewing' type tape measure and had trouble getting it together and getting a fairly accurate measurement. It was kind of comical at times. So I got this and it's a really big help, sort of an extra hand, and seems to adjust the same each time. So I'm happy. It was also cool that my super geek-y husband, who is precise in almost ...             Plastic 12" Goniometer 360 Degree ISOM - 12"2 reviews CMS CMS Great Product The 12 inch is the perfect size for large muscles such as the shoulder and hips. It's easy to read. It worked perfectly for my classes. Highly recommend if your studying occupational or physical therapy.             Escali Primo Digital Multifunctional Scale329 reviews Escali Escali I love this scale!!! I have been using this awesome little scale for about a month and I couldn't be happier. The best feature of the scale is the "tare" function which allows you to put any reasonably sized container on the scale, hit the tare button, and it zeros out the scale so you can now weigh whatever you want in that container. It is a very easy to use and easy to clean scale. One of the best products I have ...             FatTrack PRO Digital Body Fat Management System with FREE Composition Tracker Body Fat Tracking Software2 reviews Accufitness Accufitness body fat tester & tracking system I purchased this item even though I knew there would be a learning curve for accuracy. I am very impressed with the results. I wish the display text was darker. And that is my ONLY complaint.             FatTrack GOLD Digital Body Fat Caliper with FREE MyoTape9 reviews Accufitness Accufitness Missing key information in instructions I just got this thing and I'm happy with it in general, but there is a reference to an "IMPROVE YOUR MEASURING SKILLS" guide that is not included. It is impossible to get reliable results with this tool without a diagram of where to get the measurements. Just saying chest, abdomen, thigh is ridiculously unclear. It is also somewhat difficult to learn how to pinch fat only. The first few times ...             BébéSounds Digital Baby Scale6 reviews BébéSounds BébéSounds, 2006 Great baby scale. I purchased this baby scale to weigh my cats as I have several who have health issues. This scale is exactly as advertised and very accurate. It is easy to use and cleaning the surface is easy. It gets 5 stars and I would recommend this scale, even for weighing babies!             Accu Measure MyoTape Body Tape Measurer3 reviews AccuFitness AccuFitness Exceeded my expectation This is a really cool measure that allows you to measure yourself without the help of another's hands. Very cost effective and I'm very please with it. Highly recommend it.             Tanita BC553 Ironman InnerScan Body Composition Monitor PRO Series11 reviews Tanita Tanita, 2005 Love it! it does everything it says it will. it is easy to use and accurate. I had one that just did weight and fat, but got this one because it includes water % (hydration), metabolic age, and bone mass features.             Gulick Tape Measure Physical Therapy Physical Therapy Engineered for accuracy, the Gulick self-locking tape measure has a flexible vinyl tape that will not stretch and a push-button release.

Easy to use and very accurate.             Luggage Scale with Tape Measure6 reviews Travelon everyone who travels should have this I travel a lot! I would recommend this for everyone. It is extremely compact and convenient. And it helps to "know" ahead of time what your luggage weighs as to avoid switching and swapping items from bag to bag and/or paying extra fees for overweight luggage- not to mention holding up the line. :-)             American Diagnostic Corporation 396 Woven Compact Retractable Tape Measure American Diagnostic Corporation American Diagnostic Corporation ADC has created the perfect retractable compact tape measure for all your medical needs.
