April Activity Challenge

Just fill the stand ring twenty-something times...
Double my move goal of 1180 cal twice this month. Should be easy as mowing the grass twice should do it.
My April challenge is to burn 16,800 calories this month - 559 per day. Not sure if I can make this happen, but will give it my best.
They do. Just go about your business and ignore it. Come May 1, there will be no trace of it on your watch or phone.
Well I'm 9.2km into a 225.5km Walk or Run challenge. Luckily I live right next to a forest area but with the once a day exercise regulations in place it's going to have to be pretty focussed to do it.
Mine is to complete my exercise goal 17 times. Was a bit lazy for the latter part of the month so apple has taken pity on me!
3260 exercise minutes. Better than the 3860 I had to do in February, but still...exercise minutes are the hardest to earn in my opinion. First I considered dismissing the challenge, but now I am already the second day into it.
Mine would be very easy if things were normal. Close all three rings twelve times. But I gotta say motivation might be a problem. I just want to crawl under the covers and hide.
Mine is to log 178 miles. In normal times, that would be a piece of cake. But under the current circumstances, I feel it would be irresponsible for me to try to reach a distance goal.
So for the past week or so, I've been staying indoors and spinning away several minutes of each day on my stationary cycle. I won't come close to meeting Apple's challenge, but I'll still feel good about exercising.

Dang! I cut the grass yesterday after getting up and forgot to wear my watch!! Oh well I'lll just have to remember the next two times
20,400 calories, as mentioned previously. 680+ calories per day is super challenging with 'stay at home' in effect. Walking burns hardly no calories. One mile is barely over 100 calories. Running is only slightly better.
3 walks or 2 walks and 1 run per day is what I have been doing. Soooooo annoying.

Close the Move Ring 18 times this month. I think I got this..
I just came to check in and see how everyone is doing. I've doubled my Move goal 1 of my required 5 times so far. With 3 more Sundays, 4 would be par, but I'll squeeze another day in somewhere.
I'm fortunate that I can still get outside and run alone without restriction. Our 17-year-old son is running a lot too while dealing with the frustrations of a canceled spring track season.
Best wishes and good health to those who are more restricted in their outdoor activity right now.
Stay safe.

Good to hear, you are still on track.
I am also keeping up with reaching my 3260 minutes exercise goal, but it is hard.
The gym, where I am going for strength training, is obviously closed. I have an elliptical in the basement that I am using a lot, since running or walking outside while at the same time keeping an adequate distance to everyone is sometimes too much of a hassle. On many evenings it is just walking around the house gathering exercise minutes. And sometimes - working as a physician wearing protective gear all day - I am just so damn tired, I consider quitting this month‘s challenge.
But I guess in the end, as with so many things in life, it just comes down to keeping up the spirits and focusing on the task at hand. 🤗
Stay safe everyone out there!
The other day I got thanked for walking in the grass to pass someone on a bike who didn’t have enough room to move over, so that gave me a small thing to smile about. And getting the occasional thumbs up from people on the sidewalk on the other side of the road is also nice. Glad to see some people still have good spirit in them during this mess. Good luck to everyone having to adjust their typical exercise routine to get this award, you’ve got this!!
Took me a bit longer, but I had the exact same challenge and got it done last night:View attachment 902758
Looks like I've got it easy, this month. Should be done by the weekend. 😁
(And if it's still too difficult, then I'll drop my move goal to 10 calories!)

Lunchtime 4th April. That really was easy.
92 consecutive days — a quarter of a year — of closing all three rings, and not planning on letting up any time soon!
I just hit 750 myself! The only thing Apple did was taunt me by saying I was only half way to 1500...
I got this a few days ago and forgot to post it. Not my April challenge but still something substantial!!
I’m about halfway through my April challenge and I must say, I’ve been enjoying my hour long walks each day more than I was expecting I would.
22 for me. Shouldn't be a problem.
Mine is to burn 50,200 calories in April..
Just might make it.. a 5km walk daily and at least an hour on Zwift.. (indoor virtual cycling). If there is some good weather in Toronto, I'll be out on the bike for longer rides..Still hope for some good weather days in April
So far.. 24,484 of 50,200.
