| The perfect tool for monitoring your workouts, the Buerer WM 80 weight management system helps you create a detailed training routine that will keep you feeling fit all year long. The WM 80 comes with three separate items: a Beurer PM 80 heart rate monitor watch, a Speedbox pedometer, and a BG 55 diagnostic scale. Sporting a stylish silver and black housing, the PM 80's skin-friendly chest strap takes precise EEG heart rate measurements--including average and maximum heart rate--and then transmits them to your watch via interference-free digital signals. As a result, you'll receive valuable feedback on your workout with every step, letting you know when to push a little harder and when to back off. The PM 80 also lets you set individual training ranges, with an alarm that sounds when you exceed or fall under a specific heart rate zone, along with a "time-in-zone" function that tells you how long you've spent in, above, and below the training zone. And as with many of the more sophisticated heart rate monitors, the PM 80 comes with a PC interface and a handy software package, so you can analyze your workouts after the fact and easily plan new ones on your home computer or laptop. In the process, the PM 80 calculates both your calorie and fat consumption (in kcal and g respectively) and your basic and active metabolic rates (in kcal), putting even more data at your fingertips. 
The WM 80 includes an HR watch, a pedometer, and a diagnostic scale. | The Speedbox pedometer, meanwhile, attaches directly to your shoelace, where it easily measures a wealth of information about your walking or running routine. The Speedbox calculates such data as the distance run, your actual speed, and your calculated target speed, and then sends the information to your PM 80 via a wireless network. As a result, you'll be able to create an ultra-precise daily workout that tracks your heart rate, your speed, and your distance all at once--a must for people in serious training. Users can calibrate the Speedbox to match their individual running style, helping improve the accuracy of the distance measurements. Even strong heel-to-toe movements won't disrupt the readings, nor will large puddles, as the device is waterproof to 30 meters. Best of all, the Speedbox is extremely comfortable, with an adapted shape that conforms to your shoe. The final item in the package is the BG 55 glass diagnostic scale, which transmits your current weight and body fat percentage to the pulse watch. The sleekly designed scale is far more sophisticated than traditional weight-only scales, as it not only reads your body weight and estimates your body fat, but it also calculates your body water, muscle percentage, basic calorie rate, and active metabolic rate. The information is displayed on an extra-large screen that simultaneously shows several values at once, along with a trend analysis that compares your current reading with the average of your last five readings. Other features of the scale include five activity levels, a 12.5-by-12.5-inch standing surface, a 330-pound capacity, and 10 built-in memory spaces. |
