In general, if you&#8217;re doing moderate-intensity activity you can talk, but not sing, during the activity. If you&#8217;re doing vigorous-intensity activity, you will not be able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath.<\/p>\n<h3>Absolute Intensity<\/h3>\n<p>The amount of energy used by the body per minute of activity.
