During a recent discussion about exercise and weight loss, I was asked whether cardio or weight training was “better” for losing weight. Once we got past “Pay attention to what you eat”, we discussed that most studies show basal metabolic …
1. PRECAUTIONS: Floor must be level. 2. CALIBRATE: Step on scale until displayed weight flashes twice. DISREGARD THIS VALUE. Step off scale. 3. COLLECT DATA: Step onto scale again until raw weight flashes twice.
PRECAUTIONS: Floor must be level. DO NOT STEP ONTO SCALE UNTIL ZERO APPEARS IN THE DISPLAY. CALIBRATE: Tap center of scale to turn it on. Wait for “00.0” or “0.0” to display. COLLECT DATA: Step onto scale. Stand on platform …
