Overview of the Progress tab

The Progress tab provides a comprehensive overview of your long-term fitness trends, training history, and progress toward your goals. This is your central hub for analyzing how your training is evolving over weeks and months, helping you make informed decisions about your future workouts.

Training Summary

At the top of the screen, the Training Summary gives you a week-by-week breakdown of your training. You can quickly see which days you worked out, your total training load for each week, and the percentage change from the previous week. You can adjust the time frame shown, for example, to a 5-week (5W) view.
