Everyone is different.

I typically use the Rate of Perceived Exertion Scale to determine my workout intensity. Most personal trainers use this scale (RPE) to measure the level of effort used during exercising. Using this guide during your workouts is a great way to gauge how intense your workouts are.

RPE Scale:

0-1     No exertion

2-3     Light movement, stretching

4-5     Light workout, jogging

6-7     Hard workout, gasping for air

8-9     Very hard, can’t talk

10      Extremely hard, your absolute limit
