I got it yesterday, tried it out this morning. Very enjoyable workout. I especially like the addition of the triceps kickback exercise.

Can anyone get a decent percentage on the "Woodchop Squat"? (or whatever it's called)
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get more than around 66%, and mostly 50% or under. It timing messes up on the arm lift part. I've tried adjusting the lighting in the room, how high or low I raise my arms... nothing works. The rest of it seems to work fine, just that one exercise gets messed up.

On the woodchop squat it consistently says I'm out of rhythm, but I've found I stay basically like a full move behind the trainer (starting to raise arms as the trainer is beginning to lower) I stay in rhythm. I try my best just to ignore it for the most part, or I would have gotten way too frustrated and quit a long time ago.
I just picked up the EA game, still getting used to it, but I have to say even with the bugs in Your Shape, I prefer the style of Your Shape, and EA's "Cardio Boxing" is a joke compared to YS.

Sometimes "Woodchop Squat" works well for me and sometimes it doesn't. What troubles me is that I can't see the difference in the way I'm doing the exercise from one time to the next. So, like TiedesGirl, I've just decided to ignore it for the time being and do the exercise as best I can. If I figure anything significant out in the future, I'll post it here

I didn't had much trouble with the Woodchop squat, except in one particular moment - it was consistently out of the rhythm.
In any case, this new DLC is much better and more diverse than the original Nivea workout that came with the game (a special routine).

That's it. Although not quite a full move behind, I was able to almost get 100% on it tonight by intentionally lagging behind the trainer.

So I tried the Nivea DLC because it was free and I hoped to see if UBI had somehow sorted out their tracking/rhythm issues and if maybe they attached a patch to it to fix the game-ending broken save system which abruptly stops tracking your calorie count and workout progression.
Answers...
Nope. The tracking/rhythm is still a joke, not recognizing moves and and times forcing you to be a full step ahead/behind your trainer to count.
And what a joke this workout is. 4 reps, pause, 4 reps, pause, 4 reps, pause. What trainer in their right mind would suggest you do FOUR reps of something? Does nothing to get your heartrate up at all. Heartrate is a key to calorie burning and this program has more sedentary pausing than working out.
/epic fail (once again)
UBI fix the broken save system that affects all users eventually and stop shoveling us these hot steaming turds.

I actually find it makes a good warm-up for me, aside from the messed up timing in the woodchop squats.
