What are the 5 intensity levels?
Measuring exercise intensity using the exertion rating scale
| Level | Exertion | Physical signs |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Moderate | Stronger sensation of movement |
| 4 | Somewhat hard | Warmth or light sweating |
| 5 | Hard | Sweating |
| 6 | Harder | Moderate sweating |
What two things should you consider when you determine the intensity of your workout?
There are two basic ways to measure exercise intensity:
- How you feel. Exercise intensity is a subjective measure of how hard physical activity feels to you while you’re doing it — your perceived exertion. …
- Your heart rate. Your heart rate offers a more objective look at exercise intensity.
