MIO is a tool you can trust to provide you with accurate heart rate readings. Know what's going on in your body with MIO.
What is ECG and what does ECG-accurate mean? - An electrocardiogram, or ECG or EKG, is a measure of the electrical activity of the heart. This electrical activity regulates heart contraction, so an ECG measures an exact heart rate and rhythm. ECG is the most accurate medically accepted way to monitor heart rate.
Is MIO as accurate as chest strap monitors? - Most watches with a chest strap rely on analog wireless transmission, making them prone to radio frequency noise and "cross talk" between units (like that between portable or wireless phones). Also, by relying on radio transmissions, chest strap monitors lag behind the true heart rate, due to the need for excessive filtering in the software to reduce reading fluctuations caused by noises and muscles.
MIO is a self-contained unit with built-in sensors, making it immune to environmental noises. MIO is as or more accurate than typical watches with a chest strap because MIO's superior digital filtering techniques allow it to follow your true heart rate, even as the heart rate changes. And you don't have put up with that annoying chest strap!
MIO watches have been tested to verify their ECG-accuracy.
Why count calories? - Whether you're trying to lose weight or prevent weight gain, or even gain weight, successful long-term weight management comes down to a simple fact: count your calories and the pounds will look after themselves.
Physi-Cal believes that there is no such thing as a quick-fix weight management program. The MioSENSE program focuses on eating well, counting calories and exercising regularly.
Why is calorie counting the most effective means of managing your weight? - The answer is a simple mathematical calculation: if you eat/drink more calories than you burn in a day, your body stores the extra calories as body fat. Each pound of fat consists of 3,500 calories. Even a modest reduction to your weight requires you to burn a lot of calories.
