I'm convinced there's a ton of Tony Starks, Iron Men, Captain Marvels, Black Widows, Hawkeyes, and perhaps maybe an incredible Hulk in these threads...
But that aside, my challenge is to complete 26 workouts each lasting 15 minutes or more. Thank goodness I figured out my workout detection problem--apparently I was walking too fast. My heart rate is that of a hamster at rest, so what was happening was I was walking fast as I should, but my heart rate apparently was high enough for what an Apple Watch considers a high-intensity run, so slowing my walk pace way down where my heart rate is just enough to be within the threshold of a normal walk, was the key. Dead on my Series 5 is now on workout detection!
Thanks Apple Watch for Dummies!

Mine is doable, yes. I'm worried about some of the targets I'm reading in this thread, however.
Many of us are at a much higher level of fitness than you. If you so desire, you can get to that level of challenge as well.
You'll be safe. They'll only suggest 150 minutes of exercise per day if you build up to 145 per day for a month first.
Exactly. Mine is to average 164 a day, and while that is kind of rough, it's in line because I workout for long periods of time every single day. I did over 200 on my first day, trying to bank a few extra minutes for later days when I'm busy (or lazy lol).
I have to double my Move goal two times.
So, after trying to kill me for much of last year (run 350 miles, log 4,300 minutes, etc.), Apple is now giving me unbelievably easy challenges.
Ridiculous.

You are obviously too fit. Your watch is trying to lull into a false sense of security and get you to slacken off before trying this again later this year.
Mine wants me to close my move ring 23 times because that is my average.
Burn 29300 calories this month.. January was too easy so now I have to really try harder!
Got this today... and 10 more days to go to make it my move streak...
