 Health Wizard is a integrated suite of four fitness software programs designed for organizations that promote wellness and fitness.  Health Wizard is a PC desktop application program that can either be installed on one computer with a local database or on multiple computers sharing a common database over a network.

 Fitness Profile- Fitness assessment software to measure and track your client's physical health and fitness. Use the more than 40 included fitness tests or add your own.  Software comes with many popular fitness tests for muscle strength, muscle endurance and flexibility as well as health tests like body composition, blood pressure, blood cholesterol and cardiovascular fitness. Fitness Profile with the Micro Fit FAS-2 System will decrease assessment time, improve accuracy and decrease testing errors.

 Wellness Profile- Wellness assessment software to analyze your lifestyle behaviors in the areas of exercise, nutrition, safety, and stress. Provides recommendations to reduce the risk of future disease or disability.  It is more motivational than the typical health risk appraisal because everyone can achieve a perfect score and not be penalized for uncontrollable factors like family history of disease.

 Health History- A health-screening questionnaire used to collect health status information and to determine your readiness for increased exercise activity.  This program can identify the small number of people for whom exercise might be inappropriate or those who should seek medical advice concerning the most suitable type of exercise activity.

 The Micro Fit FAS-2 System is a FDA-registered medical device that provides standardized measurement of body weight, body fat, blood pressure, heart rate, arm strength, back flexibility and cardiovascular fitness. Designed to work with the Micro Fit Health Wizard software.

 This collection of medical devices interacts directly with your computer for fast, easy and accurate fitness assessment.  Blood Pressure- Fully automated blood pressure and heart rate monitor.  Skinfold Caliper- Measures skinfold thickness up to 50 mm with accuracy to within 0.5% or 0.1 mm. Provides tip pressure of 10 g/mm2 throughout the full measurement range.

 Flexometer- Digital technology for accurate trunk flexibility results. Measures low back and hamstring flexibility in 1-centimeter intervals, from 1 to 70 cm (40 cm at heels). Also uses popular sit-and-reach protocol.  Weight & Strength- A medical-grade scale measures both body weight and biceps muscle strength. Measures body weight up to 450 pounds and bicep strength up to 250 pounds. Displays body weight to 0.1 pound and bicep strength To 1 pound

 Monark 828E Bike- The only testing bike approved for cardiovascular assessment by the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Federal Fire Authorities.  Heart Rate Monitor- Measured and recorded every minute during a graded exercise test. one designed to work with a bike test and one for a treadmill or bench. Accurate to within 1% of measurement or 1 bpm.

 Since obesity is a rising problem in the United States and cause many health serious problems, I believe strongly that Microfit Software’s and the FAS-2 Equipment’s will help decrease obesity in our students and adults across the United States.
