It’s week 11 with YourShape Fitness Evolved and I’ve been making my way through workouts to unlock more difficult levels while still enjoying the challenge that the game presents in the comfort of my living room. Besides the game itself, there are other ways to track fitness goals including a new iPhone app and the online YourShape Center.
YourShape Center is an online portal that maintains your exercise history and statistics. By logging in with a Ubisoft login or through your Windows Life ID, players monitor calories burned during each session, has a community component dedicated to conversations about fitness, workouts completed, and provides a visual of how close you are to your fitness goals. YourShape Center also allows users to share and compare results with friends. This creates a sense of competition and inspiration by allowing you to see where your friends are in reaching their fitness goals.
New content is also released through the online portal to keep workouts fresh and challenging including Dance Workout: Bollywood which is available to purchase using Microsoft points. See a preview here.
Here’s a video that provides a comprehensive overview of YourShape Center. The video starts after the Cheerios commercial!
I like that YourShape Center uploads data from my workouts as I complete them. I can turn off our Xbox and Kinect and then head upstairs to log on to track my progress in real time.
Right now I’m not using the friends feature since I’m always very guarded about sharing my information but if you are using YourShape and would like to give it the Challenge Manager component a try, let me know! I am only ever friends with people online who I know in real life so if I haven’t met you yet, I apologize! I’m just more comfortable allowing IRL friends access to my info!

| New iPhone/iPod app! |
YourShape fans with iPhones can also access the new Fitness Evolved app through the iTunes Store. I downloaded the app late last night but haven’t had much time to use it. The press release about the app says the following:
In celebration of the New Year and a “New You,” the Your Shape: Fitness Evolved App lets users view and manage their Your Shape profile and stats on-the-go, allowing them to quickly and easily track how many calories they’ve burned and monitor progress made towards their fitness or weight loss goals.
The Your Shape: Fitness Evolved App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore.
