Formula

A simple heuristic guideline (not a medical or clinical tool): recommended rest days increase as session-RPE training load rises — roughly 1 day under 300, 2 days for 300-599, 3 days for 600-899, and 4 days at 900+.

Step-by-step

  1. Enter the Training load (RPE x minutes).
  2. Click Calculate to see your result instantly.

Real-world example

Example: With Training load (RPE x minutes) = 400, the Recovery Calculator gives Recommended Rest Days: 2, Note: General guideline only, not medical advice..
