Rate of Perceived Exertion

The Borg Rate of Perception scale was the created to define how you feel, or perceive, how your body is responding during physical activity.

  • The 15-point scale ranges from 6 to 20, with 6 representing no exertion and 20 indicating maximum exertion.

  • Each point on the scale relates to how much exertion you feel. Ratings between 12-14 is considered to be moderate exercie - the level that is most beneficial.

  • But, if you feel you're at a rating of 18, slowly reduce your intensity to avoid the risk of injury.

    • Pay attention to these warning signs. All are expected with physical activity, but should not be excessive:

    • increased heart rate.
    • increased breathing rate.
    • increased sweating.
    • muscle tiredness.
    • fatigue.

    • Listen to your body and slow down when you need to!

    Get Physical Activity

    Instead of grinding out programmed exercises, you can get your daily physical activity all at once, or short spurts during the day. For example: golf for at least 30 minutes, or go for a brisk walk for 10 minutes, work in the garden for 10 minutes, and ride bike for 10 minutes. Just be sure to get 30 minutes of moderate activity at least 3 weekdays and one weekend day. 

    Some moderate activites include:

  • Bicycling.
  • Golf (without a cart).
  • Pickelball.
  • Brisk Walk.
    		•
  • Gardening.
  • Hiking.
  • Dancing.
  • Vacuuming.

    Progress Happens Through Consistency

    Healthy movement isn’t about doing everything perfectly — it’s about showing up regularly in ways that fit your lifestyle. When you’re living or traveling in an RV, routines change, spaces are smaller, and flexibility matters. Short, simple workouts done consistently can be just as effective as longer sessions. Even a few minutes of purposeful movement each day helps support strength, mobility, balance, and overall well-being.

    Consistency builds confidence.

    Over time, those small efforts add up to better energy, easier movement, and a body that’s ready for everyday RV life — from setting up camp to exploring new places.

    Move With Purpose

    The exercises and activities shared on Healthy RVing are designed to support real-life movement, not just workouts for the sake of working out.

    Everything focuses on helping you:

    • increased heart rate.
    • Move more comfortably during daily RV tasks
    • Improve balance and stability in small or uneven spaces
    • Build strength for lifting, walking, climbing, and traveling
    • Maintain mobility so you can enjoy your adventures longer
    •  
    • This isn’t about extreme fitness — it’s about moving well so everyday life on the road feels easier and more enjoyable.
