Movement recognision

[SilentYew03556]

I totally love Your Shape. I even start to prefer it over going to the gym and working out with my coach there. The exercises are totally burning the right muscles! Thanks.

Just one frustration point, during several different exercises, in personal training and Zen, some movements are not recognised. Meaning: I can't seem to do them right.

Here on the Ubi website I've seen a picture of a Zen move where there was a suggestion how to correct the posture (move arm up) with the red indicator. But I never get text like that.

Sometimes the trainer says how to correct, but when all it does is say I'm out of sync, when it looks on the screen as if I'm doing the same thing as the trainer, it gets frustrating. I keep doing it for the exercise of course, but I'd like to correct things if I do it wrong, or get recognition if I do it right.

Is there somewhere I can put it back in sync? With the kinect game Dance Central, there's an option where you can calibrate how to synchronise with the music. Is there somewhere similar within YourShape?

I am in good shape and pretty good with postures, my trainer keeps saying so at the gym *shy laugh* So I'd like to know how to correct this in YourShape. I wouldn't want to hurt my body by doing something wrong, but I have no idea how to correct these things.

In the bollywood extra download, I seem to be doing better with each practice, but with the Zen exercise it baffles me sometimes how to correct a move. I move my arm subtly up, no luck. I move my arm a bit down, no luck either. How am I supposed to hold my arm? Am I missing feedback because I have a Dutch language pack?

I really do find the Zen Classes to be one of the most challenging in term of getting and staying in the correct position. I'm doing much better now but it's taken time. Some times the proper adjustment is very minute. For example in doing the Golden Roaster sometimes my legs will appear out of alignment but if I tighten me knee on my standing leg ever so slightly - which straightens my leg a tiny bit I am in perfect alignment. For guidance keep an eye on the tracking "bones" when they turn green you are where you need to be. Also glance up at the little circles around the big circle on the right. When they turn green you're doing great.

I've also noticed a bit of lag in when the trainer says to make a correction. Sometimes I have already corrected on my own and if I follow her direction it will result in an over correction and put me out of alignment and in some cases out of sync.

Thank you for your reply Nano!

I will try out your suggestions!

Thank you!

My wife and I are also having the same problem with low scores on the zen. Either we're both uncoordinated or just aren't getting it. When I look at myself and the trainer we sure look in tune with each other sometimes but there will be a 0% score. I'm a bit puzzeled but there's just no way to slow it down to see if there's truly something I'm missing.
