About RPE
What is RPE?
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a subjective measurement of how hard you feel your body is working during physical activity. It's a useful way to gauge exercise intensity without specialized equipment.
RPE Scales
Borg Scale (6-20): Traditional scale developed by Gunnar Borg
Modified Scale (0-10): Simplified version for easier use
Benefits of Using RPE
Monitor training intensity without equipment
Adapt workouts based on daily physical condition
Prevent overtraining and injury
Track progress over time
Personalize exercise protocols
Pro Tip: For optimal training effects, vary your workout intensities throughout the week. Include both high-intensity (RPE 7-9) and recovery sessions (RPE 2-4).
