Sequoia Fitness Products USA has introduced two new body fat calipers for consumers and trainers to monitor body fat %. Body fat measurement is the best metric of health status for those interested in achieving superior fitness results.

The new Defender Body Fat Caliper is a precision mechanical body fat caliper that incorporates a Visual Pressure Indicator. Squeezing the caliper on the appropriate skinfold causes the Indicator to turn from red to green, letting you know that you have achieved the correct pressure. Included is an innovative Results Wheel Chart for easy lookup of body fat % after measurements are taken. To calculate body fat %, a user simply turns the wheel to line up measurements with one’s age. There are no cumbersome charts to interpret.
