Guess now I wait till January
I realised this morning it wasn't 5min/day but 8x5min sections, so split my run into 6 bits to go with the 2 I got yesterday 
Hey hey! Can I participate without an Apple Watch? Does the Fitness app on the iPhone work for this?
Apparently yes! It does!
Here’s my December challenge:
It’s in Spanish, my mother language. It says: “Win this price/challenge by reaching your daily (movement) goal 6 times. You’ve done it 1 time so far this month”. I think it’s a pretty easy challenge but this month I wasn’t planning to walk a lot, to be honest.
So, am I welcome on the thread even if I don’t have an Apple Watch?
Sure why not. I don’t think it used to give you challenges without a watch. But maybe they updated it. Anyway I need 10 more minutes of exercise to hit my daily goal of 110 minutes for my monthly challenge. Will do that later.Apparently yes! It does!

kidding aside - how does the iPhone determine your move goal and if you achieve it? with the AW it's calories burnt and it determines that from the heart rate measured. How does the iPhone do that?
and I do know that iPhone tracks your steps ... but there is no workout app on iOS, so how does move, exercise, stand work with iPhone alone?
Edit, found this:
Track your daily activity and change your move goal in Fitness on iPhone
In Fitness on iPhone, keep track of movement throughout the day and set a move goal to meet your fitness goals.

I’d better get on it sooner rather than later - it’s not going to have any progress after 24th of the month lol
I'm not sure what to think about mine. it's all three rings 31 times, so every day, which I've been doing for quite some time. I expect to get it, though.
Hmm...
Seems like a definite win, but I thought the same about the SEC title game on Saturday 🤷♂️

I got a # of calories 14 times a month, like some others have. Should be pretty easy. Unless the weather is terrible for more than half the month and I can't run.
I´m have an easy one... 5 running workouts for 5min... so its very easy for me....
I miss challenges for steps like i had 2 years ago i think.... "take 400.000 steps this month" i liked them. Hoping that Apple will bring them back.

Agreed. I liked the accumulative ones. Where you could push yourself and see the daily total you need to hit come down little by little each day.
These challenges of late are lame.
Talk about lame…it took me six days! But an achievement is an achievement and Apple must know the cold weather is holding me back. I will press on nevertheless and maybe the algorithm will up the ante next month.
Had two pool swims and they counted towards the goal. Only problem with the festivities I have 8 pool swims planned, not 9, should go one more time.
7 workouts of 5 minutes or more. Completed once already. I might earn my very first December award
December all done!
I’m taking a 2 week holiday now 🙂

December challenge complete. Each month I say to myself that I will take it easy the rest of the month, never happens. ☹️

lol. Due to travelling to Leeds for work I missed 1 day, so won't hit my 14 day goal until tomorrow.
Finished my challenge. Now I can not worry about it on Christmas:
