How do I know if I'm exercising moderately or vigorously?

Moderate intensity aerobic exercise is where you're working hard enough to raise your heart rate and break into a sweat. You're working at a moderate intensity if you're able to talk but unable to sing the words to a song. Not much use if you only know instrumentals!

Vigorous intensity aerobic exercise is where you're breathing hard and fast and your heart rate has increased significantly. If you're working at this level, you won't be able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath.

Not sure that it is quite as beneficial as it seems to suggest, but anything that makes you feel better and feel healthier, and actually makes you generally healthier overall is worth doing IMHO.

So, do all you can to help yourself, then make the best of your time. :-)

Hi Bladerunner

that is interesting.
I'm always interested in my recorded oxygenation level (when done during onco visit) - it should be above 95%
I'm currently on 99%

Its interesting that in this article and in others that they always talk about moderate exercise (whatever that is)

All the best for everything and your next run

Paul
