====== Fitness: RPE Chart ======

Tags: #fitness #rpe

Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a self-assessment tool used to measure the intensity of physical exercise.

It’s based on how hard you feel your body is working. Typically, it's measured on a scale from 1 to 10 where a higher number indicates a greater level of effort.

This scale helps individuals and trainers gauge workout intensity and adjust accordingly.

A 10 means you couldn't even do a single more repetition. 9.5 means MAYBE another one. A 9 means for SURE another one.

So, reading this chart, if you did 6 Repetitions and it felt like a 9 RPE, then it means that weight is about 81% of your 1-Rep-Max.
