I knew I was going to be punished for finishing July challenge early
I’ve only just realised the goal seems to be based off your trends, so my 104 minutes a day is theoretically only a small increment from my trend. It just feels a hell of a lot more!
Last month my challenge was to walk 155 miles. I did 145. How annoying to miss it by such a small amount.
This month I have to double the move goal 10 times.

That was mine for July. First challenge I’ve had in ages where I didn’t have to concentrate on getting it done, to make sure I did.
Good luck 👌
19,300 calories or average 622 a day. I hope it’s a bit cooler this month.
my 4 th distance challenge for the year ... will see how it goes
Turns out this is the same as my June challenge, which I was just able to meet.
Since I want to get in long (12 - 14 mile) runs on the weekends to get ready for the Air Force Half Marathon next month, I have incentive to meet this goal, apart from the actual goal itself.
Very tough one for me. 38,200 calories (1,231 / day). 😬
You do a lot of bicycling. right? Have you ever got a monthly goal related to cycling?
Man, Apple sucks!! I wish they’d come up with a challenge to actually CHALLENGE me. I fully expect to finish this one on August 20. Ok, maybe the 21th or 22rd, but I’ll get it done and won’t really even have to make an effort.
Burn 39,400 Calories this month. I'm with @millerj123 , I certainly hope it is cooler this month. 🥵

Slightly higher than mine. (Burn 38,200). I hope Apple makes it easier for us in September.
yep, pretty much exclusively, and no, there has never been a cycling challenge ...
with all the different "native" workouts available, Apple really needs to bring some more diversity into these challenges
I don’t. I hope Apple continues to CHALLENGE you.
There has been running specific goals in the past. It does seem odd that they don't have cycling specific monthly goals. I think there has been one, but it was quite a while ago, if my memory is correct. I can't run any longer, so running monthly goals are a sure loser. And given that I don't have any running in my daily activity, why in the heck would Apple throw up a running monthly goal. It makes no sense. *shrug* I'm going to start running just that month because I need that goal? Non sequitur...
I guess that doesn’t leave you a lot of time. Really exercise your new spin bike?
Mine: Close Exercise Ring 26 times. I guess I have 5 days to blow off. (How many have slacked off and wasted those recovery days too early. DOH!)
Yep, same here, can’t run anymore… so for me the distance challenge is no motivation.
I’ve never seen a cycling challenge in the 5+ years of using an AW but there could have been for others of course…
To me it just feels that the monthly challenges have had no update since the watch came out, which is, well, lame.
6 HW iterations, 6 major OS versions… maybe we need to provide some collective feedback to Apple
