: It could be bad if its too high or too low
: your target should be a good heart rate(which you have)
: just by comparison mines just under 80 bpm and I have a high metabolism
: so I GUESS that a higher resting heart rate means a higher metabolism
: (in my case anyways)
Low heart beat doesn't mean that your metabolism is low. It does mean that
your body is working quite efficiently so that a lesser volume of blood is needed
to bypass tissues in order to perform needed oxygen exchange, respiration, etc. If
your blood doesn't carry much oxygen then your heart will have to circulate the blood
more often through the tissues in order for needed exchanges to take place.
