# Your pulse

Your **pulse** turns everyday effort into points. The more you train, check off habits, and stay on top of your check-ins, the more your pulse chart fills in - a simple, at-a-glance picture of how active you've been.

You'll find the **Pulse** chart at the bottom of your dashboard. Each square is one day, and the busier the day, the brighter it glows.

## What earns points

- **Finish a workout** - +5 points for the day you train.
- **Set a personal record** - +3 points when a session sets at least one new PR (on top of the workout itself).
- **Check a habit** - +1 point for each habit you tick off, every day.
- **Submit a check-in** - +5 points for a recurring check-in like your monthly body measurements.
- **Complete your intake survey** - +5 points, once, when you fill in your profile survey.

Points land on the **day the activity happened**, so finishing yesterday's workout late at night still counts for yesterday.

## Reading the chart

- The **grid** shows the last 13 weeks. Brighter squares are bigger days.
- **Total points** is your score across the whole window.
- **Days active** is the share of days you earned something.
- **Best day** is your highest single-day score, and **current streak** is how many days in a row you've kept it going.

## Notes

- Points are **honest**: if you un-check a habit you logged by mistake, that point comes back off, so the chart always reflects what you actually did.
- Points start counting from when pulse launches - past activity isn't backfilled, so give it a few days to fill in.
- If you have a trainer, they can see your pulse on your profile, so they can cheer on a good streak.
