What Intensity Measures Can I Use?

Intensity is another important factor to consider when designing your workout routine, as different intensities offer different benefits. There are a few ways to measure exercise intensity in the AppRabbit builder:

None

If you're using None as your intensity measure, it means you’re not specifically tracking how intense your workout is. You’re just focusing on completing the exercises without measuring how hard you’re pushing yourself.

RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion)

It's a subjective way to measure how hard your body is working during exercise. The scale typically ranges from 6 (no exertion) to 10 (maximal exertion).

1 Rep Max

Choose this when you’re tracking the maximum amount of weight you can lift for one repetition of a given exercise. This is a common way to gauge your strength and set training loads. Example: If your 1RM for the bench press is 200 lbs, you might log that you did 3 sets of 5 reps at 70% of your 1RM, which would be 140 lbs.

Working Weight

It refers to the weight you’re using during your regular sets in a workout. Example: If you’re doing deadlifts with a working weight of 150 lbs, you’d log that weight along with the reps and sets, like 3 sets of 8 reps at 150 lbs.
