A Perceived Exertion Scale is used to measure the intensity of your exercise.  The numbers below relate to phrases used to relate how easy or difficult you find an activity.  When exercising, you should always monitor your intensity to make sure you are not working too hard.  One way to do this is by using a Perceived Exertion Scale.  For most workouts, you should stay at Level 3 - Vigorous. Exercise should be enjoyable, stimulating, and invigorating so that you look forward to your regular activity.  Exercising too hard can cause people to drop out of exercising.
