How do you determine what is the best weight for you?

Honestly, I use a 15 lb ball. Most people will tell you to use the full 16 for carrying weight on the backend, but because I don't play full time or many leagues at once, I tend to find myself really tired going in to game 3 if I use 16 instead of 15 lbs. I can adjust my ball speed to make up for the pound loss in "hitting power". Plus, I've noticed over the years that the differential numbers tend to be higher in 15 vs 16, which gives you more hook.

Your best bet is to go to the bowling alley Pro shop and whoever the ball is for, bring them along and they can determine the weight based on his or her stature, etc.

Try to find the manual online or call the company - I know it mentioned recommended top weights in the manual (but mine is filed at my office and I don't have it with me where I am). Keep in mine the weight of any computer, etc, equipment that will also be on top, and how much effort you want to put forth each time you crank it up and down. My top only weighed about 20 pounds, and I wouldn't want it any more difficult to crank (but then again I am a 30 old woman, without arms of steel, so all of that is to be considered!). I want to say the recommended total weight was still in the "hundreds" range.

I would assume it depends on the size ball you get. I got the smallest size, But I'm only 105lbs. I think if you look under details on the different sizes it will tell you the minimum and maximum weight and/or height.

I use light weights, 5, 7.5 or 10 pounds to do misc. arm exercises while peddling along. Then check my heart rate periodically or use another monitor, wrist or ankle type. Swinging a 5-10# weight while peddling gives one a really good workout.

You should have buttons on the scale to set your gender, age, height. Then it sets all your info, stand on it barefooted to get the accurate readings. You will see the bone density percentage, water percentage, weight etc.

I used 5 & 8 lbs but I'm a weakling. Try around 10 lbs to start with if you are fit already.

For women 20lbs for men between 20 and 30. However I do 15 starting out. Everyone is different and you can find more info online.

not sure, but if feels very light....best scale I've ever had, and I weigh myself every day.

Eleven pounds (11.0 Lbs.). Don't "push" the limits.If you have a heavy load, divide it into smaller portions, or go jump on your bathroom scales, read your weight, pick up the thing to be weighed, read the combined weight of you and it, subtract the 1st measurement from the 2nd measurement, and you will have the weight of your 20-pound sack of rice, potatoes, onions, beef-quarter, etc.

I would go by weight. You can always have them taken up but can't have them let out.

I do not know how to determine the best size. All I know is that I wish I would have purchased the 125 lb bag, instead of the 100 lb bag. I like the bag and the feel of it, but I need to anchor at the bottom so it doesn't swing too much when I use it.

You can switch between kilos and pounds, if I correctly understood your question, yes you can choose between the two different metrics to count your weight.

You need your own weights. I'd say 5lb and 7/8lb to start with. For less weight than that... fill a water bottle with sand or something rather than buy till you know what you need.

Get the calibration weights. They are an absolute MUST with inexpensive scales. This one is pretty accurate. I reweighed the same mass 5 times and got the same reading each time.

The version I received *does* measure peak weight. You simply press the "Hold" button until the reading reads "L_p". Pressing the "Hold" button will cycle between "L_n" (No hold), "L-a" (Auto hold), "L_p" (Peak hold).

I wish you could rely on what they say. At least its so wrong that you know to look elsewhere for the info. What is it? 4 or 5 lbs?

Turn the scale over. There is a pounds - kilograms switch on the bottom just under where the weight display is located. Just slide the switch to poundss
