I have to do 12 workouts of at least 15 minutes. I'm very happy with this one.

Go for it anyway. Better to try and fail than not try at all.I don’t know if I’ll make it this month. It’s too hard. Physically impossible to log that many miles each day for one whole month. What a shame. Wish these challenges gave us two options to pick. And we find one that’s more feasible given current schedule and time availability.
go set your own challenge. If at the end of the month you look in the mirror and can say to yourself "I made it", that imho is more important than beating some computer-generted goal that doesn't take any personal circumstances into account.I don’t know if I’ll make it this month.

I run about 8-9 miles 6 days a week. It’s possible!I don’t know if I’ll make it this month. It’s too hard. Physically impossible to log that many miles each day for one whole month. What a shame.

I would just continue to give it your best shot, within reason, and over time it should start to hone in and give you more attainable yet challenging, err, challenges.I don’t know if I’ll make it this month.

Thank you for the encouragement. I will try. But I still would have liked the option of picking a more normal/ attainable challenge.Go for it anyway. Better to try and fail than not try at all.
I got my AW6 in October. I went and got the medal for November challenge. So yes, I think your first challenge will be the March challenge. Enjoy your new watch.So for those who had your Apple Watch for at least a month - I assume you do not get monthly challenges until you have used it for fitness / activities for at least 1 month, right?
That makes sense based on what I am seeing in this discussion since it looks like the monthly challenge is based on your prior acuities and fitness.
But I just got my first AW on Wednesday of this week and so I haven't had it long enough to figure everything out about it. But I am loving it so far, especially the fitness & activity aspects of it.
It's weird. I got the Unity challenge January 30th.When did you get your Feb Challenge? Mine hasn't shown up yet, have the Unity one but not the monthly yet.
I do that most days. What’s your exercise goal set to?Wants me to more than double my exercise ring every day this month. I know a challenge is supposed to be hard to motivate you but that seems kinda extreme ?♂️
30 mins, you?I do that most days. What’s your exercise goal set to?
Mine is 30 min which I double most days also...doesn't mean '60 min' all at once...I do 30min. on exercise bike along with 10mi CORE and 10mi HIIT and ....walks or more bike or Functional Strength ...blah , blah, blah. Point is you don't have to do 60min (or whatever the amount is ...) all in one setting. And if you don't make it on some days....big deal: you're already ahead for trying! Lots of days I do 90 or more minutes of exercise. My February Challenge is 27,900 active calories. So far as of today at 7,902. I think I can do it....and if I don't? I'll try and do the March Challenge! (whatever pain that might entail ?!).30 mins, you?
Hey thanks, appreciate you the positive affirmation. I got this watch a few months ago because I wasn’t exercising at all and I’ve closed all my rings every day since I got it, which has been a huge shift for me and I feel great. Doubling that so soon feels a little out of reach for me, but maybe that’s just the push I need to get myself to that next level. Only one way to find out!Mine is 30 min which I double most days also...doesn't mean '60 min' all at once...I do 30min. on exercise bike along with 10mi CORE and 10mi HIIT and ....walks or more bike or Functional Strength ...blah , blah, blah.

I have 'completed' the unity challenge Seems a touch too political for an Apple watch challenge. I got the award after 1 day for some reason. I don't think this fits well with the normal challenges. I'm in the UK and I have no interest in black history.
35 minutes. I usually do that first thing on the cross trainer. Then at lunchtime a 50 minute walk, plus whatever else I can squeeze into my day.30 mins, you?
I’ve had my SE since watch and I’ve gone from an average of 3-5k steps a day, to nearly 12k this month. I doubled my move goal everyday this month so far to hit my monthly target. See how the rest of the month goes.Hey thanks, appreciate you the positive affirmation.

You're welcome! Forgot who said it ....something about a long journey being 'one step after another...' but you know what I mean. Do what you can and stay motivated ...besides: we're all 'locked in/out' at the moment and if you don't 'do your exercises'....you can't have any pudding (Pink Floyd) or much , much worse: you'll have to watch daytime TV?!Hey thanks, appreciate you the positive affirmation.
