Abstract
An exercise system with a body fat monitor. The exercise system includes biometric sensors including a body fat sensor. Some of the electrodes used by the biometric sensors are used by more than one sensor. A body fat monitor is linked with the exercise device and includes a processing assembly that uses an impedance sensed by the body fat sensor in combination with user data to determine a body fat percentage of the user. The body fat percentage is then displayed to a user. Historical values of the body fat percentage are stored and can also be displayed to a user.
