The results came out immediately. The rep went with whatever with me as well as showed me photos of MY entire SKELETON. This is the coolest thing ever of my life. I saw my entire skeleton from head to toes – when do you get to do that?! So weird. That’s me.
The colored parts are lean muscle mass or fat. You get a breakdown of where you bring excess fat on your body.

It was truly great to see exactly how much fat vs. muscle mass vs. bone comprise this Monican. as well as the report tells you exactly how much fat / muscle mass you have on each limb too.
