When using the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale during a workout, what is the best way for a person to effectively manage their exercise intensity?

RPE is a way to judge how hard exercise feels and adjust intensity as your effort changes. Starting at a moderate intensity gives you room to increase or decrease the effort based on how you feel and how much energy you have. Choice A, “Begin with moderate intensity and adjust using RPE,” is the best approach; holding exactly at 5 or starting at either extreme is not appropriate for every workout.
