The fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For example, athletes may have a resting heart rate of 40-60 bpm or lower. You should contact your GP if you think your heart rate is continuously above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm, although this could just be normal for you.

A standard equation using weight and age is used to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) , which is the minimum amount of calories your body needs to function effectively. You burn around 70% of calories for basal metabolism. Additional energy is used up when doing any kind of exercise. Metabolic Age Healthy Level 1- 12 Excess level 13-59 If your BMR age is higher than your actual age, it is an indication you need to improve your metabolic rate. Increased exercise will build healthy muscle tissue which will improve your metabolic age. Source: Columbia University New York
