Athletic? Hmmm. Time to send pictures.
"Leosol001" wrote in message ... The Tanita's athletic setting reads about 7-10% less than the regular adult setting. Doesn't your WW scale have an athlete setting? Rebecca No, it was cheap: $40. Thanks for the info though. The 'athlete' does not apply to my husband, but I might be close with 10+ hours excercise per week (weights/cardio). Marisol 138/128/125 |

I think "athlete" is based on percent bodyfat, not how much you work out.
I also work out about 10 hours a week (biking alone is near 8 hours, and I lift weights about 3 hours/week), and I'm no where near an "athlete" as per Tanita. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply I hear you. I should have clarified that according to Tanita, the athletic setting on the scale should be used for people 'involved in intense physical activity of approx. 10 hrs per week and has a resting heart rate of approx. 60 beats-per-minute or less.' I don't consider myself comparable to a true athlete, even though daily excercise for 1 1/2 hour does build some muscle. Marisol 138/128/125 |
