More than just a scale!
Our next product recommendation is the The Libra Scale from Runtastic.
Why we recommend
From the website:
Runtastic Libra – the scale that speaks with your smartphone/tablet!
Analyze important body metrics including weight, body fat and water percentages, muscle and bone mass, BMI, BMR and AMR (calories burned).
Using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), the Libra scale can calculate the data noted above. With Bluetooth technology and the app, the scale can communicate with your phone (or tablet) and keep track of your progress.
How to use
Could not be more simple:
- Enter your profile.
- Step on the scale.
- View your report on your phone or tablet.
It will keep track of your progress, so you can monitor how close you are getting to your goals.
While it measures and keeps track of a lot of information, we think body composition is most important. Testing body composition with BIA has improved but it still lacks accuracy. However, one of the main improvements is in reliability. So while the reading it has for your body composition may be off a little bit, the reliability means it will accurately identify changes in your body composition.
One other thing to mention: To increase reliability, do your best to step on the scale at approximately the same time every day and under the same circumstances. For example, right after you get out of bed. If you really want to throw it off, get on the scale right after a hard, sweat workout!
Cost: $129.99 from their website.
