Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor
Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor
The Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor is easy to program and a cinch to wear with a ventilated watch band. Knowing your heart rate is important because if you’re working out too hard, your activity can actually become counter productive and strain or damage muscles.
 Monitor your heart rate with Omron’s HR-100C. View larger. |
To achieve an effective workout, no matter what the aerobic activity, you must maintain your heart rate at a proper level for a minimum of 20 minutes. In general, the proper level falls between 65 percent-85 percent of your maximum heart rate. To ensure you don’t drop above or below your proper level, the HR-100C is built with an alarm option that indicates low and high heart rates.
Omron includes a chest transmitter belt with the wristwatch-style monitor. This transmitter sends data to the receiver on your wrist at a distance up to 98 feet (30 meters). The HR-100C is built with a backlight function for exercising after nightfall, and it also displays time of day and a daily reminder alarm feature. Also included is a mounting bracket that makes it easy to attach the watch receiver to most treadmills and bicycles and a soft, zippered storage case.

Q&A - Fitness Monitors
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender.
What is visceral fat?
Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin).
What is resting metabolism?
Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight.
What is skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.
Customer Review: This never worked for me !
Tried it on Day One. It did not work. Changed the batteries as per instructions in the manual, but of no use. Returned to store as its waste of money !
Customer Review: Works great! Cheap!
This is my first heart rate monitor and I love it! I looked around a little and found that they can be expensive. I saw that this had good reviews and a great price so I purchased it and couldn’t be any more pleased! It has a clock, a stopwatch, a backlight, date, and of course the heart rate. You can also input your min and max heart rate and when your heart rate goes out of this range, it will beep. I use it when I go running outside. I’m also a small and petite person (29″ chest) and the strap fits! It could even go smaller for those who are smaller. The watch itself is on the smallest hole and is comfortable, though it looks really big on my wrist (like a guy’s watch). I don’t mind since I’m not making a fashion statement.

Customer Review: Hanging tomato basket
I’m very pleased with the tomato basket. Very surprised that all the seeds sprouted and are so healthy. I’ve transplanted some and given some away since there were so many. They are still very young, but I don’t have any doubts I’m going to get tomatoes!
