Personal Body Fat Tester

Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 Personal Body Fat Tester is used for body fat percentage test in Men and Women. Whether you are trying to gain weight or lose weight, you always want to have body fat at the minimum and gain muscles. However, a scale is not able to tell you the weight you are losing is from losing fat or losing muscles. This is where accu measure body fat calipers come in handy. Accu measure body fat tester from Accufitness measures body fat and gives accurate results. These body fat calipers take out the hassle and expanses of under water weighing and allow you to measure your body fat in the privacy of your own home.

Accu measure body fat caliper is FDA approved.

A clinical study was published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research by the National Strength & Conditioning Association.
Key findings included the following:

  • Self-testing of percentage body fat with the Accu-Measure was as accurate as results from multi-site measurements and calculations taken by an experienced clinical investigator using a Lange caliper. 
  • Percentage body fat calculations with the Accu-Measure were within 1.1 percentage points of underwater weighing results, the gold standard of body fat measurement.
  • Accu-Measure was recommended over another self-assessment device, the Futrex-1000, which significantly overestimated percentage body fat.

"A salient feature of the Accu-Measure is that it is an inexpensive self-assessment technique that requires little skill to administer, therefore offering an attractive alternative for individuals who wish to determine their body composition without the inconvenience, expense, and lack of privacy of conventional body fat testing at clinics or recreational facilities." -- Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, December 1998

Each Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 Model Comes With:

  • An original Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Tester 
  • Body Fat Measurement Instructions 
  • Questions and Answers on Body Fat and Calipers and Body Fat Tips
  • Men's and Women's Body Fat Measurement Charts 
  • Body Fat Tracking Charts with the Right Way to Weigh.
Why is fat testing needed: Fat testing is needed to ensure that you don’t have excess or too less fat in your body. Fat testing is also needed in a weight loss program to ensure you have proper fat/muscle ratio.

Excess body fat is associated with increased chances for heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, stroke, and some cancers.
Just as with having too much body fat, there are also health risks associated with having too little body fat. Some of these include hypothermia, vitamin toxicity, and cessation of menstrual cycle and osteoporosis for women.

Accu measure body fat calipers come with click and slide features that are designed to take any guesswork out of measuring you body fat.
Do I need to do the fat testing where I have most fat?

Not necessarily. Areas of the body that have the most fat aren't necessarily the best sites to determine total body fat percentage. The best sites are those, which reflect increases or decreases in proportion to increases or decreases in total body fat; thus making them a good "representative sample."

How often should I test my body fat percentage?

Frequency of body fat percentage test depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you are trying to lose body fat, you should test yourself every week to make sure you are losing fat, not muscle. If you are happy with your current body fat percentage and fat/muscle ratio, a test every month or so will tell you if you are maintaining it. In addition to tracking your body fat percentage, remember to also keep track of your pounds of fat and your pounds of muscle (i.e. fat/muscle ratio). This will give you a complete picture of the changes in your body.


Is the Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Tester approved for use by the federal government?
The Accu-Measure is a registered medical device approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Is the Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Tester patented?

Yes. Accu-Measure was awarded the patent by the United States Patent and Trademark office for a skinfold caliper for an individual to accurately and inexpensively measure one’s own body fat. Accu-Measure also have patents in Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom.


What are the Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Testers made of?

Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Testers are made with Delrin, a thermoplastic polymer from DuPont.

Delrin allow Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Testers to last throughout thousands of uses and for Accu-Measure to stand behind its accuracy, durability, and reliability with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.


What is the significance of the "click" and "slide" mechanisms on the Accu-Measure?

The click and slide features are designed to take any guesswork out of measuring your body fat. The click mechanism makes sure that you pinch the skinfold with a consistent and uniform pressure each time you measure yourself. The slide mechanism performs an automatic readout of your measurement by stopping at the correct measurement reading once the right amount of pressure has been reached via the click mechanism. They make it possible and easy for you to perform private, accurate, and reliable measurements

What Is Jogging? Does It Help In Burning Calories?
Jogging is running as a form of exercise that invigorates growth, burning of calories and cardiovascular fitness by high impact on places such as heels and knee joints. Jogging helps burn calories.
Why are the health benefits of Jogging?
Jogging burns more calories than walking as you consume more oxygen per mile you run than walking in addition to the impact factor. Circulation increases briefly as does the heart beat. Once you get seasoned enough, you begin to see benefits of jogging. You won’t find sudden thumping of your heart which gets increased and vital oxygen. Jogging tones muscles too. Perhaps it is the best exercise for overweight people. Because of the impact they can burn more calories from hips, thighs and abdominal area.
