IWM - A CUSTOMISED EXERCISE PROGRAMME
IWM calculates the calories needed to be burned by the user to maintain weight. This calculation is based
on food intake and weight in contrast with standard body mass index (BMI). It’s just like having a personal
training consultant.
The IWM console obtains user weight through wireless transmission from the provided IWM scale. It then
displays current user weight and offers information on the ideal weight.
The IWM system will generate a personal exercise programme automatically. This customised programme
is based on the difference between actual weight and the weight of standard BMI for the user size, gender
and age.
IWM is not only for people who are overweight but is also perfect for people who understand weight loss,
diet and exercise.
If the actual measured user weight is lower than the standard BMI, the smart IWM programme would also
suggest an exercise programme to reinforce muscle building - and to help reach standard BMI.
The IWM can be implemented on various categories of CV equipment ranging from treadmills to stationary
bikes and cross trainers.
THE BODY MASS INDEX INTRODUCTION
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a heuristic proxy for human body fat based on an individual’s weight and
height. BMI doesn’t actually quantify the percentage of body fat. The BMI is defined by the individual’s body
weight divided by the square of his/her height. The formula is universally used in medicine.
Following is the formula of BMI calculation, kg/m2.
BMI =
Mass (kg)
((Height (m))2
BMI =
Mass (lb) x 703
((Height (in))2
BMI =
Mass (lb) x 4.88
((Height (ft))2
BMI =
Mass (st) x 9840
((Height (in))2
