Your height, weight, age, and gender are used to build a mathematical profile to more accurately calculate the number of calories you burn with each specific action.

Follow these steps to update your attributes:

• Sign in to your profile (either local or Xbox LIVE).
• From your console, select Settings, then Profile.

Your exercise information is stored as part of your Xbox LIVE profile and can be accessed from any Xbox console when you sign in to Xbox LIVE.

To review or change the privacy settings for your exercise information or to learn more about how your fitness attributes and exercise stats are shared through Xbox LIVE, see Manage your Fitness on Xbox 360 information and privacy settings.

Note The number of calories you burn is based on a combination of your physical attributes and information provided by the games you play. You may see some variance in calories burned when you switch between Xbox consoles, as the specific information provided by the game may not be universally available.
