Great for Jazzercise & Strength training5
I have used my 5 lb weights for several months now and they are wonderful. The texture of these weights makes them very easy to grip and the blue color is pretty too. These are my second set of Valeo weights I have owned and I would highly recommend them to my fellow Jazzers and anyone looking for a nice set of weights that won't break your wallet. (The pink three lb weights I had previously were nice too just not challenging enough for this die hard Jazzercise nut)

All Good!5
The product arrived on time and was exactly as described. Very happy with product and seller.

Very Pleased with the Purchase!5
I am not a fan of just straight metal weights, so these are great and much more forgiving on my wrists. Love the different colors too!

One Touch Ultra Fast Draw Test Strips, 100 Count


Product Description

OneTouch Ultra Test Strips use a "Fastdraw" Design to automatically draw blood into the strip, making blood glucose testing fast, simple and less painful for anyone with diabetes. OneTouch Test Strips provide precise test results and are economical because the OneTouch Test Strips are covered at the lowest co-pay by more health plans than any other diabetes test strips. Features: Easy to Use: The test strips were designed to make it easy to see when there is enough blood for an accurate reading.

This is called alternative site testing and should be cleared through your health care professional first. Fastdraw: Just touch the end of the diabetes test strip to the blood sample; the strip will automatically draw the right amount of blood needed for an accurate reading. 5 Second Test Results: Within 5 seconds, you will have an easy to read blood glucose test result.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Omron HBF-306C Body Fat Analyzer measures your body fat with a gentle, micro electrical current -- don't worry, you won't feel it. The key to long-term exercise success is accurate body fat composition measurement. This handheld body fat analyzer is an affordable and easy way to measure your body fat in the privacy of your own home.

And since the analyzer is built with a nine person profile memory, each member of your family or team can track the success of their individual exercise routines.



The Omron HBF-306C measures body fat with a micro electrical current. Detailed view.


The screen displays body fat measurements and other data. Detailed view.


Easy-to-use, handheld design.
The HBF-306C features two modes -- athlete and normal -- for accurate results. The device is a breeze to use, and it returns measurement results in seven seconds for both Bi method (Bioelectrical Impedance Method) and BMI (Body Mass Index). The unit displays the measured value of your body fat percentage through the BMI method, and indicates the body mass in for ranges from low, normal, high, and very high according to the BMI value.

What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
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 Body Fat Analyzer sends an extremely weak electrical current of 50 kHz and 500 µA through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The Bioelectrical Impedance Method safely combines the electric resistance with the distance of the electricity conducted. Correct posture and consistent measuring conditions need to be maintained for the best results.

Operating the Analyzer
To use the HBF-306C you must first set your personal datYou must first select between the Normal and Athlete modes. To determine if you should select Normal or Athlete, you must calculate your FIT index by using the following formula:

  • FIT Index = Frequency x Intensity x Time
Frequency is a single digit number from one to five that represents your frequency of exercise. If you exercise daily or almost daily, then use the number five; three to four times per week use four; one to two times per week use three; a few times per month use two; and for less than once a month use one. If you workout vigorously, then you use the number five to represent your intensity level; if you workout with moderate or light effort, use the number four.

Meanwhile, time is a single digit number from four to one that represents the duration of your workout. If you exercise for 45 minutes or more, then use the number four; 30-44 minutes use three; 15-29 minutes use two; and for less than 15 minutes use one. For example, if you run five times a week for 30 minutes, your FIT index would be 75 (5 x 5 x 3 = 75) and you would select the Athlete setting. If your FIT index is greater than 60, you should select the Athlete setting. Any number below would demand a normal setting.

After determining your FIT index and selecting between the Athlete and Normal setting, the remaining personal data is very straightforward. Simply enter your height, weight, age and gender. When all the data is fixed and stored, the analyzer screen will display "Ready," and you'll be ready to take your first body fat measurements.

Note: For the following cases, the body fat percentage measured by this unit may significantly differ from the actual body fat percentage.

  • Children in a growth stage
  • Elderly people and post-menopausal women
  • People with a fever
  • People who have swelling
  • Patients with osteoporosis who have very low bone density
  • Bodybuilders or professional athletes
  • Patients undergoing dialysis
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.

Actually, it's a very unique and personal experience. When we developed YOURS+MINE™ we had some pre-conceived notions of what couples would feel. However, after testing the product with real couples, the results were eye opening.

Different couples felt different sensations. We discovered that it was dependent on the individual, how sensitive they were, how much product was used, etc. More importantly, they shared that the product encouraged more communication making the time they spent together even more enjoyable.

Who should use this product?
K-Y® Brand YOURS+MINE™ is ideal for couples who are open to adding pleasure and excitement to their sex life and exploring new ways of deepening their relationship overall.

Was K-Y® Brand YOURS+MINE™ tested with real couples? What was their feedback?
Yes, we did test the product with real couples. The most surprising feedback to come out of our testing was that couples said that the product encouraged more communication. Many said they took their time and talked about what they were feeling. Basically,they said the experience was more fun and exciting than what they had been doing before. Couples told us:

  • The liked a combo product to "help break the routine."
  • Sex and foreplay were more playful than usual.
  • They felt more aroused and more playful than usual as well.

Is it safe to use with condoms?
Both lubricants are compatible with latex condoms and we recommend men use it on the outside and inside to enjoy the product benefits.

Do the vials glow-in-the-dark?
The test-tubes themselves don't glow in the dark; rather the words on the vials do making his "Yours" and her "Mine" easier to find. The ingredients in the special inks that are used undergo a thorough safety assessment.

Better than expected5
The scale was light-weight with a sleek simple design. Very easy to use - no bending over to turn on. You just tap a corner with your foot then step on for easy to read display. Long life battery included.

a good scale4
Large numbers that are easy to read. Weight is giving to the tenth of the a pound--a degree of detail that's misleading, probably, since a person's weight will vary by a pound or two day by day. The slightly contoured plastic face of the scale feels oddly flexible to me (I weigh about 200 lbs.) but that seems not to matter.

love it 5
i was worried about this due to the bad reviews, and was pleasantly surprised. i love it. it looks great and has been consistent and accurate.

To take an accurate reading, first position the green marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm.


Next, place your arm on a table so the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart.
Instructions for Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors
There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this monitor. First of all, avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm, and sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Slide your left arm through the cuff and position the cuff approximately 0.5-inches above the elbow. On the cuff you'll notice a green marker; position this marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm. Next, secure the cuff with the Velcro material. The cuff should make direct contact with your skin, but you should be able to easily fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm.

Place your arm on a table so that the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart. Rest comfortably in a relaxed environment for at least 15 minutes prior to taking your blood pressure measurement. Once you feel relaxed, simply press the start button and remain still. The cuff will begin to inflate and numbers will appear on the display as the heart symbol flashes. When the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your blood pressure and pulse rate will display on the screen. If you need to stop the measurement at any time, simply press the on/off button and the monitor will immediately deflate. And remember, always consult your physician for specific information about your blood pressure.

What is IntelliSense?
The IntelliSense monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use -- you never have to make any adjustments to select an inflation level. This is especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders because their blood pressure is so likely to fluctuate. The biggest advantage of using the IntelliSense technology is a personalized inflation every time for maximum comfort.

The Importance of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
Doctors, diabetes educators, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare professionals all recommend home blood pressure monitoring for various reasons. Home monitoring provides your healthcare professionals with better information to understand and manage your high blood pressure. Many types of hypertension can only be detected by monitoring your blood pressure at home, including:

  • White-Coat Hypertension: blood pressure reading is high in your doctor's office but lower at home
  • Masked Hypertension: blood pressure reading is low in doctor's office but higher at home
  • Morning Hypertension: blood pressure reading is higher in the morning
Additionally, many factors can affect your blood pressure, including physical exertion, emotional fluctuations, medications, and stress. So having your blood pressure monitored at a pharmacy with an in-store device after you've been shopping or walking around might not provide you with the most accurate measurement. Monitoring your blood pressure at home allows you achieve a relaxed state more easily, and it gives you the flexibility to take your measurements at various times during the day. By keeping track of your home blood pressure readings, you can provide your healthcare professional with a log of your measurements over time. This can help them evaluate the effectiveness or need for medication.

Q&A - Blood Pressure Monitors
What is IntelliSense?
The IntelliSense Monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use. No adjustments are required by the user to select an inflation level. This is especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders, because their blood pressure is more likely to fluctuate. The advantage is fast personalized inflation for maximum comfort.
What is a ComFit cuff?
The patented pre-formed cuff expands to fit regular and large arms comfortably and easily.
How is an Irregular Heartbeat Shown?
This advanced monitor can detect irregular heartbeats while your blood pressure is being measured. If an irregular heartbeat is detected, an accurate blood pressure reading is displayed along with the irregular heartbeat symbol.
What is Morning Hypertension?
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends you take blood pressure readings in the early morning and evening. With the touch of a button you can review an eight week history of your morning and evening weekly blood pressure averages.

Customer Reviews

A lot of features!4
This is a great scale in every way except for the small lettering that tells you what all the numbers mean. I finally figured out I can write them on paper and have the pad ready ahead of time. It would be nice if they were slightly larger though. Scale seems to read accurately. It's attractive and not bulky. I can't believe it does so much for the price but it does. It's also a great price after comparing others with it.

Poorly designed, very cheap materials2
I received this scale and weighed myself after going through the lengthy setup process. It said I was 50 pounds heavier then my known weight. Called their customer support line and they said it comes pre-calibrated and there is nothing I can do. So I am returning it to Amazon (who are an excellent company). The body percentages seemed closer to correct but where about 4% apart when I did the test back to back to back. The top half is also cheap plastic that seemed to crack and snap under my modest weight of 200 pounds. I do not believe someone who weighs 300 pounds could use this scale at all.

Good, but not great.4
The Taylor 5596G scale is a good scale for the price. The weight is always on target and only takes a matter of seconds to get it. Just step on it! If you want to measure things like body fat, bone mass, and muscle mass, you will have to make sure of a couple of things and wait a little longer.

1) You will need a flat surface! <-- no tiles, no carpet For some reason, if you are on a tiled surface, it will not register correctly. I moved my scale from the bathroom to the front door area and it pretty much gets everything right the first time around. 2) You will have to measure yourself 3-5 times on the first day. This is to ensure that you have accurate data. What you will be looking for is your bone mass and that is the top number on the third screen). The most accurate number is usually the highest number that the scale shows you in your trial runs. Make sure you know your bone mass. This number should not change and if the scale registers this wrong, you should try again because all of the information before and after it will be wrong too (except for your weight). 3) Enjoy it! It's just a scale for Pete's sake and doesn't cost all that much. It looks good and if you read the manual, you'll be able to figure things out.
