Metabolic Age

What is it?

The metabolic age calculator compares your readings to an average for each age group and figures out what your current Metabolic Age is. If your metabolic age is lower than your actual age, it suggests that the body is in good health. While a metabolic age higher than your actual age, indicates that you may have some areas of your health and fitness that you need to focus on improving.

Why is it important?

An individual's metabolic age will vary depending how his or her calculated basal metabolic rate compares to others of the same chronological age. Metabolic age is a new term used in the health and fitness industry to describe overall fitness and metabolic activity. Examining metabolic age will give insights to the overall level of health and wellness in comparison to those of the same age. Improving personal fitness is a main concern of most health-conscious individuals.

Any recommendations?

**Set Goals** to increase muscle mass while decreasing fat mass and this will drive your metabolic age down. To focus your training, look through all of your results and find the variables that are tending towards the yellows and reds, away from the greens. Introduce an exercise regime and lifestyle choices that improve on those areas.
