RPE Calculator
An RPE calculator is a tool that helps you determine various aspects of your workout based on your RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion). There are two main functionalities.
-
Estimating 1RM (one-rep max): You input the weight you lifted for a certain number of reps and your RPE for that set. The calculator then estimates your one-rep max weight based on that information. This helps you gauge your overall strength and plan future workouts with appropriate weight selections.
-
Calculating target weights: You input your desired RPE for a specific set or exercise. The calculator then provides you with the estimated weight you should lift to achieve that RPE level. This is useful for designing workouts that target specific intensity zones.
Monitor both your exercise intensity and blood glucose levels for comprehensive health management. Use our RPE Calculator to gauge exercise intensity and our HbA1c Calculator to track long-term blood sugar control.
