> Routines live inside the client. Plans are reusable templates.

A routine lives inside a client's profile. It's designed for that person, and changes never affect anyone else.

A plan is a template. You build it once from [Plans](https://dashboard.kaizer.app/training-plans) and assign it to several clients. Each time you assign it, Kaizer creates an independent copy (a new routine) for that client, so adjustments stay isolated.

Rule of thumb: if you're programming for one person, work directly in their Routine tab. If you want to bring the same block to several people, build a plan and assign it.
