ok, so I am a new user and dont know all the "technical" terms but will try to explain the problem I am having:
1.I went to the locker room and customized a workout..
2.I was led straight to begin the workout..
3.About 30 minutes into it (or more dang it)..I realized I was not getting the "high score" listing nor the little pig looking met caluculator popping up to show my progress after each exercise! even on the hula hoop!! got no listing
4.I decided to abort and do a quick ride around the island..
5. the ride around the island was the only calorie counter that recorded for the day!! URGHHH!!

so, what is up with that? do you NOT get the high score and pig looking met calculator when you customize?? and if this should not be happening..what am I doing wrong?
(I also just realized in order to get a stamp you have to do the test each day!)

ps..on the main screen when I check my mail, it showed that I worked out 1.06 hrs..but none of the activities went to my graph!

Hi there.

The idea of the routines is to let you quickly work through lots of exercises so it doesn't interrupt you between each one.

Your calories/mets only get recorded and shown at the end of your routine. I'm not sure what happens with the high score, I think they get added a the end of the routine. Although I'm not sure if it will show you them.

Don't forget that you can do the Simple Test which gets you a stamp and only takes a moment. It just weighs you and shows your basic balance. You should see that on the first screen after you have selected your Mii.

To save the time in your piggy bank from your customised routine or a combination of the premade routines, you need to complete the routine. Usually Boardie nags you if it thinks you're being too ambitious in your workout. Try a shorter routine and it'll be easier to finish it and have it saved in the piggy bank. You can always go back and do another routine if you finish the first with time to spare. If you complete a routine, it will calculate the calories burned during your routine and add that to the little orange total in the bottom left hand corner. I don't know what it does with the high scores when in routine mode, sorry!

You can manually add activities into Wii Fit Plus on your 'activity logger', but it won't count towards your fit piggy total (which I think is unfair )
