Question
Share your vigorous activity experiences. How did your body feel? What stations did your find easy? Why? Hard? Why?
What RPE levels do you think you reached (and at what station).
Mine:
Some of the stations were hard because I wasn’t used to it especially for that amount of time

While I don’t have personal experiences, I can guide you on how someone might feel and analyze their vigorous activity experiences based on general knowledge.
During vigorous activities, individuals often report a variety of physical sensations. For example:
1. **Body Response**: Many people feel their heart rate increase significantly, with a strong pulse in their chest and neck. Muscles may burn, particularly if they aren't accustomed to the exertion, and fatigue can set in quickly. Sweating is also common, and post-exercise, one might feel a sense of exhilaration or fatigue.
2. **Easier Stations**: Some may find certain stations, like cardiovascular exercises (e.g., cycling or rowing), easier if they have prior experience or a good aerobic base. If someone regularly engages in activities like running or cycling, they might manage these stations comfortably.
3. **Harder Stations**: On the other hand, if there are strength-based stations (like weightlifting or bodyweight exercises), a person may struggle if they haven't done similar workouts before. Additionally, exercises demanding coordination (like plyometrics or agility drills) can be challenging for those less experienced in these movements.
4. **Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE)**: If someone is doing a high-intensity interval segment or heavy lifting, they might reach an RPE of 8 or 9, indicating vigorous effort where they feel they are pushing themselves significantly. In contrast, during a steady aerobic phase, their RPE might drop to around 6 or 7, which still indicates a good effort but is more manageable.
Overall, it’s common for individuals to experience a mix of exertion levels, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement during such activities. If you want to share your specific experiences, I can help you analyze them further!
