Do you utilize this chart into your training intensity?

  • Yes

  • No




The rate of perceived exertion chart is to tell the intensity of the exercise how hard you need to work by telling you your reps in reserve by telling you how many more reps you could have done or not. It is done on a scale from 1 low intensity resting to 10 where you could not perform no more reps and training at maximal intent.
