The scanning process took about five minutes. First, the machine weighed me, then scanned my skeletal muscle mass, body fat, and water content when I held the hand electrodes. At first, my stats looked good.
It was when he reviewed my body fat percentage that I panicked a little. I'd like to say it was an overdue wake-up call, but it was more a confirmation of what I already knew: I needed to change my routine.
In the years to follow, body composition scans became popular due to their ability to better measure overall health than BMI does.
