RPE / HR
1st Number - RPE stands for rate of perceived exertion and is based on a 10-point scale.
10 = extreme exertion - conversation is impossible
8 = high effort - conversation is extremely labored
6 = optimum effort - conversation is difficult, but possible
4 = medium effort - conversation is easy to maintain
2 = warm up
2nd Numbers: HR is your target heart rate - the rate at which you should achieve optimum physical gains.
The relationship between rate of perceived exertion and heart rate varies from individual to individual and requires a heart rate monitor to measure precisely. The ranges presented here are estimates only, based on your age and relative experience level.
