months over and Spring in the air, now is a good time to get out of your cocoon (home) and focus on eating well and getting in some exercise before Summer begins.<\/p>\n<p>I believe a good way to watch your weight is by weighing yourself daily&#8230;or at least 3-4 times a week. &nbsp;It&#8217;s the best way to keep track of where your weight is trending and a visual reminder that you need to either cut back a little or keep doing what you&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n<p>I have found a scale that I really like and believe it or not, I actually look forward to using it nearly every day. &nbsp;It&#8217;s the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.withings.com\/us\/en\/products\/smart-body-analyzer\" target=\"_blank\">Withings Smart Body Analyzer<\/a> health scale and this health scale does so much more than just weigh you. &nbsp;It&#8217;s truly a remarkable health scale and a great tool in helping me analyze trends as well as prepare for the day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Withings Smart Body Analyzer Health Scale<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Withings Smart Body Analyzer health scale is not your average scale, as you can tell by its name. &nbsp;This scale measures your weight, BMI, body fat composition, and heart rate and gives you all this info. while you&#8217;re standing on scale! &nbsp;How&#8217;s that for a scale? &nbsp;But wait, there&#8217;s more! &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This health scale is so smart that it even evaluates the environment around it and gives your a ranking of your indoor air quality. &nbsp;Why? &nbsp;Because often times the air quality inside our home is much worse than the air&nbsp;outside. &nbsp;The Withings Smart Body Analyzer health scale monitoring indicates when it is a good idea to open up some windows to air out your room.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty cool, huh? &nbsp;The&nbsp;Withings Smart Body Analyzer health scale makes tracking your statistics&#8230;and those of your other family members easy by automatically transferring the data to your user profiles set up in the free&nbsp;Withings Health Mate app. &nbsp;The app makes it easy to see trends in your weight with a chart of your high&#8217;s and lows.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>We Love These Features<a

lbs. &nbsp;This alone is motivating. &nbsp;In traditional scales, you can&#8217;t see how close you are to the next pound. &nbsp;With the <a href=\"http:\/\/health.walmart.com\/Diet-Exercise-Article\/us\/assets\/generic\/how-much-should-i-weigh\/~default\">Withings Smart Body Analyzer<\/a>&nbsp;health scale, you might not see that you&#8217;ve lost a pound, but even a tenth of a pound lost is in the right direction!<\/li>\n<li>Withings assures the most accurate reading within a range of 0.2 lbs. &nbsp;Their Position Control and gravity compensation features help you stand on the scale in the right place for the best accuracy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Body Mass Index (BMI)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>To make this measurement more accurate, you can adjust the settings in the Withings Health Mate app for the most accurate body type. &nbsp;For example, if you&#8217;re very athletic, in settings under your profile you would select the Athlete setting so your fat mass would be calculated differently. &nbsp;For example, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/health.walmart.com\/Diet-Exercise-Article\/us\/assets\/generic\/how-much-should-i-weigh\/~default\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Walmart Diet &amp; Exercise Wellness Center<\/a>, for an athlete, weight gain might be due to muscle, not fat and should be calculated differently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The article from <a href=\"http:\/\/health.walmart.com\/Diet-Exercise-Article\/us\/assets\/generic\/how-much-should-i-weigh\/~default\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Diet &amp; Exercise Center<\/a> goes on to say that Body Mass Index is a measure used by health professionals to estimate health risks associated with being overweight or even underweight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>What is BMI? &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>BMI<\/strong> = &nbsp;(Weight in pounds\/Height in inches squared) x 703<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I tried this calculation and it was the same that my Withings Smart Body Analyzer health scale told me. &nbsp;A healthy <a href=\"http:\/\/health.walmart.com\/Diet-Exercise-Article\/us\/assets\/generic\/how-much-should-i-weigh\/~default\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BMI<\/a> is between 18.5 &#8211; 24.9. &nbsp;Anything below is considered underweight and anything above is considered overweight to obese. &nbsp;If you tend to carry your weight around your waist &#8211; resembling more of a apple type body, your chances of heart disease are greater. &nbsp;Pear shaped bodies are at less of a risk. &nbsp;For a quicker calculation, check this <a href=\"http:\/\/health.walmart.com\/Body-mass-index-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BMI calculator.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Heart Rate<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Just by stepping on the scale and waiting a little bit, the Withings Smart Body Analyzer health scale can measure your heart rate&nbsp;by taking your pulse through your feet! &nbsp;Your heart rate is a good indicator of your hearth strength and the measurement is automatically sent to the Withings Health Mate app for tracking. &nbsp;This is such a handy feature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;I think of my in-laws who need to measure their pulse throughout the week, this would save a lot of time. &nbsp;You need to wait a little longer on the scale for the heart rate to be taken, but it&#8217;s worth to wait to get a good picture through time of your heart health.<\/p>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Air

disservice. &nbsp;By they time they weigh themselves, they have gained 5-10 lbs. and knowing how hard it it is to lose weight, this could cause a lack of motivation.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping track of my weight keeps me accountable. &nbsp;When I gain a pound or two, I can look back at my history in the app and see the time periods when I tend to gain weight (like Easter! &nbsp;Love those Cadbury
