LOL! John that is exactly how I did it and am doing it. I always make everyone use RPE (I use old Borg) to start with. We use the "turn your head and talk test" from ACSM at the hard-working level for a check.
The problem is that he comes from another trainer who had him using a HR monitor so he is attached to that thing now and the other trainer gave him specifics. Actually the guy told him to do cardio in the range above 160 for an hour a day. The client says it is hard for him to get into that range thus all the investigation. I fear that no matter what I teach him about RPE he will want to translate that to HR and his toy. I have the formulas to help him do this but got suspicious when he told me his RHR. So I came here looking for some sort of reference site that you guys use to match medicines to possible side affects. There are so many sites and some of the conflict a bit...
