Tracking mode, units, smart loads, schedule, and training setup, visible from the device you train with.

## Worth checking before a new block

- **Tracking mode** matches the detail level of the programs you are about to run
- **Weight and distance units** match what you expect to log
- **Smart loads** are on if you want starting load suggestions
- **Schedule and equipment** still match your training setup

## Where each setting lives

  - **Workout preferences** Tracking mode, weight unit, distance unit, and smart loads.

  - **Training setup** Training style, available equipment, and usual location.

  - **Goals & experience** Training goal, experience range, and limitations.

  - **Schedule** Days per week and typical session length.

> **Changing units is safe.** Switching between kg and lb changes how values are displayed. What you logged
>   stays as recorded.
