Too doable to be stretching really, but at least it’s better than last month.
Didn't get September's but I should be able to get this one
Odd I've closed all three today but it says 0??? 🤔

Yeah I don't understand why it's like that. If I complete move goal every day, I will automatically have an award for that anyway.
But yeah it's my October challenge. Weird.
(and I haven't complete monthly move goals for a couple of years. Not even close. Not sure why it suddenly goes tough on me 😡)
Edit: You're right. This just comes today. 😀

I have a easy challenge this month.
I don't recall having similar challenge in the past.
I think "maybe" Apple finally picked up on this activity thread and started implementing our recommendations! They are going more lenient now. More humane!
My challenge is bizarrely easy this month:-
I normally do 3 running workouts a week…

Forgot to post! Missed my September challenge but this looks doable.
20, 5 minute walks, probably the easiest challenge I have ever receive. I run a 5k 5 times a week and do a cool down walk after and a mile or 2 walk later that day so 10 days I should have it done.
Really folks, why is this month really easy?
I got it on the 4th day. Have never got it this soon.

I personally think because September was BRUTAL for a lot of us......
My October is harder than September. Still on track though.
Good to hear your on track with yours and sorry to hear its harder compared to September.
When i was reading September's challengers it seemed more people were posting harder objectives to complete as opposed to easier ones but with October's more posted easier challenges.
Maybe its just a coincidence with the people posting was well??
Apple threw me a new one this month. 4 Yoga workouts of 5min or more. Seems odd that 5min is the threshold. I do enjoy yoga quite a bit, so this isn’t even a challenge.
I don't seem to get any gimmies like this. I get the 'close your move ring 30 times this month', and I have one day to slack off, and 'Burn 200,000 calories', etc... 🥵
I think it’s a pretty small demographic that post here to say what the Apple algorithm is doing. My mistake is completing every challenge since I got an AW back in October 2020. So not surprised they are getting progressively harder.
Since I got my very first AW only a week ago, this is all new to me. Looks like I'm already making the same mistake as you 😅
Well, in my experience, the good thing (if there is one) is that if I miss a really big one, the next month seems more easily achievable. Eventually it backs down and doesn't try to kill me. Last months was hard for what I was going through at the time, so this month is way more attainable. Coincidence?
I think it was two years ago: I missed three months in a row, and the next was almost as easy as falling out of bed. I had it by the beginning of the second week.
I haven't decided if the ring goals are to coach me, punish me, or inspire me. It does seem that the more I achieve, the more painful the goals get. It doesn't seem to take into account my age or the weather, etc. One month was 'Run x number of minutes this month', when I have near absolute zero running intervals ever in Apple Health, or Strava.
Punishment, harassment, or just clueless.
