Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) can help you measure how hard
your body is working when you exercise. For most people, working at a
moderate to vigorous level will help you get the most benefit from your
exercise. It is based on the physical sensations a person experiences during
physical activity, including increased heart rate, increased respiration or
breathing rate, and increased sweating.
Do the following exercises that are listed in the chart. As you do the
exercises, describe/list what you feel while doing a certain exercise. After
expressing what you feel, rate your perceived exertion from 1 to 10
(1 = easiest; 10 = hardest).
Record yourself while doing the exercises and submit the video.
