- * The RPE (Rating of Perceived Exertion) Scale is a way in which you can monitor yourself whilst exercising. By using it you know you are exercising at the correct and safe level for you.
* I use the Borg 6-20 RPE Scale in my Cardiac Rehabilitation videos.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Great explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm still confused! I'm 70 and want to improve my VO2 numbers. Just starting out with an exercise program and want to know if I can just use my heart rate to improve my VO2 max. And if yes what does it have to be at for me to show improvement? I will be biking and walking. Thanks.
If you exercise between RPE 11 & 14 on a regular basis then you will be improving your VO2 max. Unless you can be tested in a lab, you can only predict your heart rate zone. You may be as many as 20 bpm over or under your zone. Therefore the RPE scale is a better way of measuring your exercise intensity. Don't forget to do upper body exercises as part of your exercise regime.
