How to Determine Your Pace
- Leisurely (2 mph): Can easily hold a conversation, window shopping pace
- Normal (3 mph): Purposeful walking, slightly breathless but can talk
- Brisk (4 mph): Fast walking, breathing hard, conversation difficult
- Vigorous (5 mph): Very fast, almost jogging, can only speak in short phrases
Talk Test
Use the "talk test" to gauge your intensity:
- Can sing = Too easy
- Can talk comfortably = Just right
- Can't talk = Too hard
