How do you exit?! | Forums

Does it save all the calories burned when you exit? I have gotten all the way back to the main menu and then held out my left arm to get up the kinect guide to exit. once I'm done I go to the website and only see some of my calories posted! What gives? If I do a session and burn 200 calories but it's only showing 92 online, I don't want to challenge my friends or share it on facebook. Anyone else experience that?

The "last session" calorie count is only from the very last thing you did. If you burned 200 doing multiple things, it only shows the LAST.

I used to do a cardio boxing work out and finish with Zen. The last session would always show what I burned from Zen.

Yeah, I already figured that out - which sucks in it's own right. But this is one session, just doesn't keep all the calories I burn. It was personal training, toning. I did a session and hit next and did that a couple times. All the same program. When done I hit finish and backed all the way to the main menu and then kinect guide. Seems like it isn't saving properly, and seems a common problem. I bet if I had started the next routine and quit out of it my calories would have been more correct. It just looks like it saves at the beginning of the next routine instead of at the end of a routine.

Well, just did 1 session workout. Burnt 65 calories. told it to go to play next and then paused and exited to kinect guide. Then turned everything off and logged onto website. Shows I burnt 46 calories. So, the online is totally pointless if it doesn't keep the right calorie count. No point in doing challenges with friends or anything. I like the workout, but was cautious because I've never been impressed by polish on Ubisoft games. This is just another example for me that you have to watch what they bring out. It's been 2 months - they can't have a patch to fix this? Of course, I believe the first time I logged on there was a patch applied. I wonder how bad it would have been had that not happened?

Well, a big "thank you" to everyone who's contributed to this thread. Just pleased that I wasn't being an imbecile! My biggest disappointment I guess is the singular lack of input from Ubisoft. I always thought that was the point of "official" forums? Ah well - Your Shape is now being resold at Game to frustrate somebody else and I will advise any friends looking for a keep fit program to avoid it like the plague! Cheers again everybody…

Just adding that I have the same problem. I cannot believe this program does not have a "save and quit" option. I, too, have been through the training three times now. Because of foot and wrist problems, I can't really do an entire workout. I can do about two or three of the routines under Personal Training and that's it. So, whenever I leave the program, I have to start all over again. I think I'll have to back to my Wii Fit. Ubisoft has missed the ENTIRE point of a home workout system, which is TO BE ABLE TO TAILOR IT TO YOUR NEEDS AND QUIT SUDDENLY IF SOMETHING COMES UP. Geez. I can't believe we have to spell it out for them.

@mindarch - Just curious if you had some new exercises shown to you during your session. I have noticed that the calories burned while doing the practice exercise do not end up getting counted anywhere, but this would have had nothing to do with you exiting the program a certain way.

My explanation can't really account for going from 200 calories to 92 but it could be for 65 calories only reporting as 46.
