Exercisers' RPE should fall between 11 ("fairly light") and 15 ("hard") during an exercise session. The Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a method for individuals to self-assess their intensity. An RPE of 7 indicates a "very, very light" rate of exertion and an RPE of 17 is "very hard." If they fall into a range that is too difficult, they mostly likely will not be able to continue their workout session.
