## Adding or Editing Fields in the Exercise Library When creating or editing an exercise in the **Exercise Library**, you can choose which data fields should be tracked. To get to the Exercise Library, look for **Library > Exercises** in the navigation menu. ### Default Fields New exercises are created with the following fields by default: - **Weight** - **Reps** ### Field Requirements - At least **one field must be selected** - A maximum of **two fields** can be assigned to an exercise ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/Yov109WmeCeKpFNzm10JOLWwEjNNPJLJsy72c9M1ds9N5hbHQ1skkh2K7WYCa8WuY4sIUnc4RrC.png) ## Using Custom Fields in the Exercise Editor When an exercise is added to a workout, its **configured data fields automatically appear**. For example: - **Weight / Reps** - **Time / Distance** - **Watts / Time** These fields define what data clients will enter during the workout. ### To Edit Fields 1. Click the exercise menu (three stacked dots) 2. Click **Edit Exercise Fields**. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/NAMmiOoxyjMqI04NWmQB89MO4fJAuh4bEza7rPcWXak0IFL1Zljfk2Jzs1XFHk8XgUfDEmfiqN4.png) 3.
