Anyone know how objectives log workout time? | Forums

My objective was 30 min/3x week for 4 weeks-
360 minutes total.

So, my first session last 40 minutes but when I chk my objective progress only 4 minutes have been counted towards my goal. It showed something like 4/360minutes. I thought it wasn't counting any of the "learning/practice"
blocks, so I repeated the NYC run and that time wasn't counted either.

On my second session which lasted close to an hour I mostly kept to the exercises that had blue flags. Only 3 minutes were added toward my objective!

I emailed support but they only gave me some auto-response because they consider it a gaming issue- like a walk thru is going to help me get thru boot camp? If there is I wanna know

So, does anyone know how the exercises count when you have an objective???

Any help would be great

I'm with you babysteps2011!

I just burned over 100 calories, but none of it counted towards my 'Current Objective Progress' which is still 0%, or 'My Objective' which is still showing 0/360 mins!!!

What do I have to do to get my objective stats moving?

I learned the hard what that once you've created yourself an objective, only calories burned in exercises marked with a blue flag will count towards that objective. For others, make sure that if, for example, "Abs" has a blue flag on the main page that you select the specific exercises in the "Abs" sub-menu that have also been marked with a blue flag. However, it sounds like you've already been doing that, babysteps2011. I'll keep a closer eye on my sessions and let you know if I notice any discrepancies.

Sorry to hear you're having the same issue, mmvaster. Hope you figured it out early on...

You're right on about the objectives, euler_13...wish I had seen your post before I tested my theories yesterday

It just seemed strange to me that the lowest level flagged was Cardio Level E when I had only done Level A, one freakin' time!!! Why jump levels with a newbie unless the flagged item was a goal to work towards??? So, I had this hope that maybe I had to go through the levels to the flagged exercise and then I'd get credit for the lot...NOPE!

Yup, it was stupid but boy I burned alot of calories and promptly deleted my objective

Still love the game!

Yeah, I'm loving the new version too.

You're right about the objectives marking more advanced sessions and this frustrated me also because I'd hardly done any other the earlier ones.

I guess some good advice for those new to the game is to not set yourself an objective until you've done A-D of most sections - especially the sections where your objectives would be targeting.

I've been playing this for near 2 weeks and its been doing my head in! thanks so much for this info. I love the game but this should be explained when you first play it!
