Bundle loses all data between two Activities

I've got two different activities Menu and Exercise. I need to pass some data from Menu to Exercise when I start the latter activity via the click of a button. Here is the code in Menu activity:

Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.temp);
    b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v){
            Intent i = new Intent(context, ExerciseActivity.class);
            Bundle b = new Bundle();
            b.putString("colors","Blue");
            b.putIntArray("workoutlist",new int[] {0,1});
            i.putExtras(b);
            //i.putExtra("workoutlist",MyApp.workoutList.get(0));
            //i.putExtra("colors","Blue");
            startActivity(i);
        }
    });

Using debugging tools I've checked that all the data are inside the bundle of the intent properly. And here is the code that should retrieve data from the intent in Exercise Activity:

    Intent in = getIntent();
    Bundle b = in.getExtras();
    String[] colorSets = (String[]) b.get("colors");
    int[] l = (int[]) b.get("workoutlist");

The fact is when I get the bundle it is empty, and obviously I cannot proceed.

Moreover I already used almost the same code between to other activities and everything is working fine.

Why is this happening? Is it there something I'm missing which generates this error? Maybe some incompatibility between the two activities?

Thank you for your help!

you add String using putString() and get it using getString(). the same goes for other types.

Intent in = getIntent();
        Bundle b = in.getExtras();
        String colorSets =  b.getString("colors");
        int[] l =  b.getIntArray("workoutlist");
