Introducing the KAM - Kinetic Activity Monitor. It includes integrated accelerometer technology to bring you a unique fitness experience. KAM lets you monitor your daily activity and calorie burn throughout the day, plus input nutritional information.

At the end of the day, or less frequently, if desired, you can download your activity via USB interface to the MYKAMunity website, where you can track your statistics and compete with other KAM users.

What is "accelerometer technology"?
Wikipedia: "An accelerometer is a device for measuring acceleration, detecting and measuring vibrations, or for measuring acceleration due to gravity (inclination). An accelerometer inherently measures its own motion (locomotion), in contrast to a device based on remote sensing."

Accelerometers are used in a wide variety of applications, including cars, devices to measure seismic activity, inclination, or machine vibration, as well as personal electronic devices. The I-phone, for example, incorporates accelerometer technology, as does the Nintendo Wii remote.

Why do I care?
The inclusion of an accelerometer in a personal fitness device opens a whole new world for people trying to get or stay in shape or lose weight. The KAM Coach is the first reasonably-priced unit to make this technology available to everyone.

Unlike a pedometer, which measures distance based on the number of steps taken, an accelerometer can detect motion much more accurately. It can easily determine if you are walking or running, for example, as well as measure effort on a bike, elliptical machine, or other devices.

Modes of Operation
1. KAM Point Mode: his is the basic measure of activity. The unit displays which of three zones you are currently in: Life, Health, or Sport, depending on your current level of intensity.

2. Zone Mode: Used for checking your stats, this mode will show you how many minutes you have spent so far in each of the three zones mentioned above.

3. Calorie Burn Mode: Displays the number of calories you have burned that day. A simple switch toggles between the daily calorie burn and your rolling average for the last 7 days.

4. Nutritional Counter Mode: for manual input of the number of fruits and vegetables eaten that day. This becomes an important part of tracking your progress towards your health and fitness goals.

There is also a clock mode which will display current time.

The KAM Coach is high-tech fitness at affordable prices. It is small and simple to use. Log in to the MYKAMunity website to download and track your statistics and compete with other like-minded individuals who have committed to reaching health and fitness goals.
