To be fair, although my trend is around 800, that’s because on exercise days I go way over (yesterday was 1600) but on normal days I’m around 500.
As I’ve been competing with a friend this week (ends today), I’ve been hitting 300% most days. As an added bonus I’ve just done my weekly weigh in. 11 stone 6 oz. that’s down from. 11 stone, 2 lb, 4 oz last week. So a good exercise week for me.
Normally this would be an easy goal for me (Earn 200% of your Move goal 17 times), but I have had too many car days recently (the wife and I went on a trip). I'll see if I can get back on track, but the heat will not help.
Also, got my 365 Move goals yesterday.

Congratulations on the 365. Still have a 2 and a half months left to get mine.
I have to close all 3 rings 26 times. I’m already at 11 times. I didn’t complete my June challenge as I was off a lot due to being sick.
I hear that! Once in a while I double up as well but consistency is much better for you health than sporadic jumps here and there. They do help break through thresholds but dropping back down more than progressively going up could do some damage.
for the heat, increase your water intake throughout the day (cold, Luke, or warm doesn’t matter). Try to improve heart rate and energy efficiency through skipping. It may help.
It’s all good, 1600 days are less frequent but I am generally consistently active. A normal workout day (3x a week) would be about 1000 ish then on most days, including some workout days, I do several miles walking. The lazy 500 days are the minority 😁
Right on!
hey I was curious if you use a workout app, which one, and does it have full access to write/read data to Apple Health?
I’m using Strong! With full permissions and I think I’ve noticed a bug; in both.
start your workout app and routine, but don’t workout. Heck just sit at the computer or on the couch do your thing. Let the routine in the app run for over 5mins (a good test is 30mins), and again don’t do any workouts. Then cancel (preferably) or finish the routine on Watch/iOS.
result: even if cancelled and no workout or movement at all was done Apple Health will log not only the time but the estimated calculations of the workout, adjust all rings, save for Stand ring as that actually detects with gyroscope you’re actually standing/seated.
I reported it to Strong development team and their looking into it. I’d love to have the lead of Watch’s email address to alert him on this.
Oh that’s a weird glitch! I use Gymaholic for weights which is really good. But I now do indoor rock climbing (bouldering) more than weights, and for that I just use the Other workout type in the built in activity app.
Thanks, but drinking water isn't a big issue for me. My minimum daily intake is 104oz, although I normally average more. The bigger issue for me is the heat, since my body tends to overheat even in the cold. Currently we are having record high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest with no signs of it decreasing anytime soon. 🥵
I drink my fair share on the weekends
Crap exercise day. Missed my lunchtime walk and my pre dinner run as work was not good. It’s also not over yet. Will aim for a run or walk later.
I always try to get a morning workout in, since I can't count on work (and traffic and bad weather) to always co-operate with my workout goals.
Doesn't mean I don't have days like you had today, though.
Still got my 35 minutes in before work on the cross trainer for exactly that reason. But these days that doesn’t get me where I want to be.
Agreed. Got a morning 5mile walkout in before the temperatures get too crazy! But we all have our days....and like we all know , the Challenges should not be full month but allow for 1-3 (or whatever) 'situation' days!!!
I start going back to the office on a rotation (2-3 days a week) starting tomorrow, so I have been shifting my run to the morning during the week. Got in a 6.4 mile run yesterday, a 6.5 mile run this morning, and probably 4.2 mile runs for the rest of the week (those are the days I am going into the office and I want to get in at a good time to get a good seat).
The morning runs also help on days where rain is in forecast - seems like the rain comes later in the day or heavier later in the day if the rain is all day.

Yeah pacific nw - HEAT dome! 45-49 celcius !
Toronto, ON we finally get to Phase 3 and gyms (with limited capacity will open up). Going to hit up a new indoor rock climbing closer to where I live as well. Been a few years (novice level).
Excellent! I’ve only been doing it for about 3 months but it’s very addictive!
I've been doing 2 days a week in the office for most of the pandemic. I have those mornings as I have to get up at 6 instead of 6:30 to get my session in. That said its a lot easier at the moment as its warm and sunny. Wet dark mornings are the worst and will be here soon enough.
Got a 3 mile walk in this evening. So doubled my move goal for the day which isn't bad when you see how many hours I spent at a desk!
18 day into the month and I've completed 161.9 miles of 287.1. Its going to come right down to the end for me to complete.
On track with my close all three rings here as well. Not really a challenge as I always close them.
