Yeah, hitting the move goal isn‘t so easy here in lock-down-land. A “don’t move” goal seems fair, given the circumstances.
Just got to try harder. Skip rope. Push-ups. Walk around your apartment/house/garden.
Yes it would be cool to get an award for meeting your move targets without leaving your home.

Not everyone has a house or garden. If you live in densely packed apartments, you really don’t want to be outside with everyone walking in circles.
and push ups don’t move the “move circle” very much. You can exercise all day and not move it, depending on the exercise. Walking in circles inside a 500 square foot apartment gets old fast, i would imagine.
Doing an active weight training workout adds more activity than a walk outside for the same time spent.
One achievement I’ll never get under this mandate. it’s still perfectly fine to go to parks, take walks, go hiking, etc - Nor is it irresponsible to do so.
If a French guy can run a marathon on his few-foot-wide balcony, I’m sure you can figure something out.
Our parks are just filled with people walking and strolling about right now. With the recent gym closures, people just can’t seem to be indoors and I can’t blame them. I don’t know that I would care to have any type of ‘quarantine application’ that doesn’t appeal to me, but in terms of actually dispersing outside/havingfresh air, Not also does that create positive stamina, I also believe the pandemic is challenging others to find ways to stay fit, due to all the gyms being closed.

I agree it's fun to get the achievements; they've motivated me to workout much harder than I might have otherwise. However, at the moment I feel like maintaining my more-than-year-long Move streak through this thing and consistently closing the other rings is an Achievement in and of itself. Assuming I manage to stay healthy I'll feel quite rewarded, regardless.
There are apple feedback links on www.apple.com where you can share info with Apple - check the apple web pages ?
I actually got a reply once 👍
I will check and post a link later when I have time to look

Sorry if I (and millions of others) haven’t stocked up on barbells prior to being told to shelter-in-place.
This is the best idea I've heard in a while. I'd love this to become a thing.
I (in normal circumstances) go to the gym every morning to do resistance training.
I also do not have dumbbells at home.
instead I fill reuasable bags with water bottles to act as dumbbells, fill a tool box with tools for heavy weight, do push-ups and sit-ups instead of bench press, etc.
it’s not hard to come up with a replacement home workout without proper equipment.
Lol, I feel like this is something you would see someone do to exercise in jail in a movie. Very creative, I like it.
