Never keen on doubling my move goal. At least it’s not everyday!

June 2022 Activity Challenge

June wants to kill me. I average an estimated 500 a day but do have days when I've bested 1,200, but to do 1,000 Every Day? That's a reach that I do not think I can do. At what point does Apple Fitness become dangerous/damaging. At what point does it push someone too far. At 543, I'm off to a slow start. I ride bikes, and can't imagine doing 40 miles every day to get this badge. Spending the entire month trying to get the badge is looking more and more like torture. HAH!
My now retired doc once said 'No one ever died exercising', but that was before Apple's Rings.

I like this one. Just about the right amount of challenge for me at the moment.
?????? In March my challenge was 5.290 Exercise minutes. That was a real, tough challenge for me. I finished it on March 30, so with just one day to spare. This one is somewhat more than a challenge….
My June goal is pretty easy. I have to run 298 miles. Nice to have an easy month for a change.
My challenge for the month - seems more do-able!
Admittedly I love to walk, and that's my main exercise. But I really hate to turn it into a job. How much I walk depends on a lot of factors. Right now I'm sick, and slogging for a mile with my dog — who has to have a walk to take care of business — is about all I can handle. Not looking to make this challenge or have a perfect month in June.
This is mine. Super low expectations because my watch refuses to acknowledge I’m standing most of the time no matter how much arm swinging, dancing or pacing I’m doing.
I will have to embrace walking workouts since it’s all I can really do:
So after missing most of 3 weeks of exercise due to a twisted ankle and 2 weeks of getting back into regular exercise, I have a monthly challenge that I should be able to do:
I was wondering if I would get a tougher one with the following statement below the badge: "We see you have fallen off your pace recently. You need to do better you slacker! Quit crying about your ankle and tough it out! Move you maggot!"

I will not achieve my June challenge of closing my exercise ring 28 times. There are four Sundays in June, and as Sunday is my rest day, there are only 26 opportunities for me in June to close my exercise ring. I always stick to my rest day schedule regardless of the arbitrary challenges issued by the workout app that is so brain-dead that it does not understand the simple concept of a rest day. it is really rather mindboggling.
LOL see, I won't be getting this one
Mine is burn 19,700 calories.
Which is about 656 calories a day. Which is essentially doubling my move goal (330) every day this month.
(Last month, my May challenge was "double your move goal 7 times". So that's quite the incremental jump there...)

I need to close all three rings for the entire month. This is a PITA as weekends are rough to achieve the Exercise goal.
OMG! I had a move goal for the month, and I rode 90 minutes every day and still missed it. And I don't mean Pee Wee Herman riding, I mean old man gasping and drowning in sweat. I stopped trying to do the rings, and watched as the demands (extortion) slowly went dow to something more actually obtainable without a cardiac crash cart standing by!
Ahem lol
That's my typical routine and that's why I need a rest day. It would not be healthy to do that without taking a rest day. But Apple are still ignoring that.

Well surprisingly I actually managed to achieve the challenge for June:
I had to adapt my training on weekly basis. Basically if I plan for a day to double my Move goal (which meant burning 720 calories) then the next day I would rest more and aim for 450-500 calories. This way I was able to achieve the challenge. It did require quite the planning though.
