The new “Mini” has arrived just in time for summer!  SenseWear® has introduced a new armband monitor that is smaller, lighter and more accurate.  This “Mini” is barely noticeable under a sleeve which is perfect for the warmer temperatures.  It is barely there!

The new Mini is a powerful weight loss tool due to it’s ability to accurately monitor total energy expenditure – calories burned – duration of physical activity, and total sleep.

It has been established that there is a link between increased weight, especially abdominal weight which can lead to Metabolic Syndrome. The Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of symptoms or risk factors that include a combination of high cholesterol, increased blood pressure readings and insulin resistance.  These symptoms are a result of increase abdominal weight, inactivity and genetic factors.

The first step to managing our health is by behavior modification and attention to foods consumed (calories in), increasing our physical activity (calories out) and sleep duration.

The new SenseWear® Mini monitors these factors and allows you to make smart choices.  The SenseWear® Mini armband uses an online program that is simple to use. You download the information from the armband into this program which allows you to see the positive changes that you are making.   You are able to see how many steps you are taking, calories that you have consumed by tracking food, amount of physical activity – calories used – and sleep duration. A healthcare professional will be able to help you make changes in your lifestyle concerning food choices and appropriate increases in physical activity.  These changes are the beginning of making improvements in your health and in weight management.

It’s time to start making healthy choices and with the SenseWear® Mini ... it’s easy!
