AccuMeasure MyoTape MT05 and AM-3000 Fitness 3000 Personal Body Fat Tester Kit

This is the 3rd body fat testing device I have purchased. The other two: Omron HBF-400 Body Fat Monitor and Scale and FatTrack Gold Digital Body Fat Caliper - 1 pc,(AccuFitness) have been used for some time and I wanted to add this manual one to see if perhaps digital, at least in this case, is not the way to go.

This set is a great way to get started monitoring your percentage of body fat. It's not the best quality caliper, but it definitely works well enough to track your weight loss progress. The Myo Tape however is great! It's easy to use, and works well. If you buy this set, be sure to go online and download better body fat charts and tips on measuring. The one chart that comes with this set is a little too basic to give you an accurate percentage.

Definately worth the price!

The caliper is all plastic and should be treated with care, but if used properly is very accurate and easy to use.

The myotape is awesome! I was not planning on buying the myotape, it just came with the calipers, but when i got it and used it, it was amazingly simple and brilliant. I can measure arms, forearms, calves, thighs, waist and chest in about 60 seconds, as where before it would take 10 minutes to take all those measurements.

At just under $10 this combo is unbeatable.
