# How do I add and customize exercises in a routine?

1. In a routine, click **Add Exercises**.
2. Search by name or click **Filter** to browse by pattern or position. Click an exercise to preview its video and instructions.
3. Click **Add** on each exercise you want. The counter shows how many you've selected.
4. Click **Add Exercises** to drop them into the routine.

To customize one, open its actions menu and click **Edit**. You can:

- Add **Personal Exercise Instructions** for this client, up to 200 characters
- Set each **set's** reps, weight (kg) and rest
- Click **Add a row** to add another set

Click **Save Changes** when you're done. Exercises default to 3 sets of 10 reps.
