Calculate the number of calories burnt from a run.

npm i calories-burnt

import caloriesBurnt from 'calories-burnt';

caloriesBurnt({
    meters: 1000,
    slope: -0.015,
    treadmill: false,
    age: 23,
    restingHeartBeatsPerMinute: 80,
    kilograms: 80
}); // => 87

caloriesBurnt({meters, slope, treadmill?, age, restingHeartBeatsPerMinute, kilograms}) => number

Options:

• meters: Distance run in meters, not factoring in altitude.
• slope: The slope in percentage. -0.015 means that the run was downhill with a -1.5% slope.
• treadmill: Whether the run was on a treadmill. Because there is no air resistance, fewer calories will be burnt. Optional. Default value: false.
• age: The age of the runner.
• restingHeartBeatsPerMinute: The resting heart heart beats per minute rate. Normal rate is between 60-100bpm. Athletes have a lower rate and therefore burn fewer calories.
• kilograms: Weight of the runner in kilograms.

Contributions welcome. Test suite can be run using npm test.
