So the Women International Challenge has kicked in... how many can complete their challenges? I'm at 600 daily move goal, so reaching 1,200 will mean I have to make extra miles on the bike.
Not sure how Apple manages how gets the challenge. But tomorrow, in theory, it should be available for everyone.
Well I started walking daily on December 4th, the day after I bought my first series 3 watch.I keep walking every day because it's made me feel so alive in these past few months then I've felt in many years. I have energy to do anything now. I even felt up to paint one of the bathrooms in my house and I did the entire thing all at once, walls, ceiling and I took out all the fixtures to do it correctly.Wow, you are so active.
Discipline is the king.
I owe all this to walking. I typically get in 5-14 miles per day. I will not stop.
I was not active much before I jumped the gun and bought me Apple Watch series 3. Now I try to close my ring every single day, and deliberately go out to exercise. I am still on my way to complete today’s (8/3/2018) achievement/challenge.Well I started walking daily on December 4th, the day after I bought my first series 3 watch.I keep walking every day because it's made me feel so alive in these past few months then I've felt in many years.

Why don't we get special challenges for the 364 international man-days?
It’s almost midnight here, but I got the International Women’s Day badge now.
Good luck to everyone today (in the Western Hemisphere, as everyone else got theirs). The wife and I are competing for most burned calories. Of course I will win.
Already got the International Women's Day Badge. (though I did change the move goal to 10, since I don't have any time to walk today as I work all day so I might as well change it).
While to each their own, the purpose of a challenge is to challenge yourself into making it, not lie your way into the challenge.
Did they require us to double our move goal to earn the women’s day award because women have to do twice a much to equal what a man does??
No. Women are used to doing the same work as men for only half the reward. It's the only day of the year that men will have to work twice as hard to be rewarded for something.
She didn’t lie about anything. She simply set a new goal. What’s wrong with that??
This will be my last post on this subject in order to provide clarity.
Lowering your already set Move goal to just 10 Cals just to make a challenge is lying, no rather, it's cheating. You can easily reach the challenge in 5 minutes.
The purpose of all challenges is that you make that extra effort you normally don't do in order to achieve them; in other words you feel challenged to complete. For instance, running that extra mile, working our those extra 5 minutes, just to name a few. Lowering your goal is just getting an award for the sake of getting it and you never really earned or truly achieved it.
The point in this thread since the start of January is to motivate all of us here to achieve all the goals we are given based on your average suages. Not reaching a goal is not a bad thing. But just cheating your way to a goal is.
So far February and March have brought each 3 challenges:
1. Move Challenge
2. Personal Challenge
3. Specialty Day Challenge
You have 3 challenges to complete, you don't need to have each one if you can't.
