October Activity Challenge

[TheSkywalker77]

With September over, it’s now time for the spookiest month of them all, October!

Let’s see what this month has to hold for all of us, I’ll go first.

Looks like I’ll be doing a lot of walking this month. Good luck to the rest of you!

I hope @Jason Hensley (the user who usually makes these threads) is doing okay, I haven’t seen him here in quite some time.

Happy October first everyone!
My challenge this month is:

Last month the closing of my exercise ring dropped due to getting used to my University timetable, I guess this challenge shows it!

It is rather strange that @Jason Hensley hasn‘t appeared online for a while and I too again wish him well and hope he is alright, wherever he may be.

My watch was generous this month. Last month it was walk 206 miles. This month:

maybe this is my chance to reset the algorithm. Also I’m going to get my 1 year move goal so that is exciting.

Easy challenge for this month, as it’s lower than my current trend (3 month and 12 month average). I’m also on a streak of six consecutive months of completing challenges, so I don’t understand why it’s gone easy on me

My September challenge was 33,300 Move calories - which I completed on the 29th.

In theory this month is easier as a I need to close my Move ring (set at 1,000 calories) 21 times. The problem I have is that I’m currently on holiday in Crete - arriving back in the UK early hours of Sunday 4th ... when I then have to quarantine at home for 14 days. So no outside exercise allowed! Fortunately I have a Concept 2 rowing machine and an exercise bike in my garage - so hopefully I’ll be ok 👍

13.6km a day needed running or walking

i hate these. Makes me focus on just that exercise. No accounting for jump rope, boxing, swimming (I wish) etc

Doesn't look like I'll be finishing this one early 😂. Should be pretty easy though.

 

[fryfrkhlly]

I don’t think I’ll have any problem with this months lol

 

[Coltaine]

Not too hard in October...burn 30700 kcal.

 

[cdcastillo]

This is doable. Just below 4 miles a day. I think is about 5% higher than what I did in September.

Find some body weight exercise tutorials on YouTube. I like Les Mills’ videos. 20-30 minutes a day should be 3-400 calories a time

I got my watch last month and didn't have a September challenge and I haven't gotten anything this morning so far. Is it something that needs to be enabled in Settings?

Edit: Special Challenges is enabled in the Watch app.

Or, you know, use a little-bit-more-tailored-yet-still-free option, like nike training club.

Just ridiculous, but I'll try to go for it. Had the same challenge in June (less calories to burn) and barely made it.

 

[Aspasia]

I need 1510 exercise minutes this month.

You're lucky. Mine is 1,980 exercise minutes in October, or 63 minutes a day.

Is it your first watch, or did you upgrade? If it’s your first watch, it’ll probably take a couple of months to learn your trends/fitness level

Nah I've had a few over the years. It's been a while since my last one though.

Thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Thanks for setting it up for us.
Looking at his profile, @Jason Hensley last was seen 7/31, I sure hope he’s ok.

9 days of closing all three rings. Last month I had 21,700 calories to burn - very difficult with the fires and heat - didn't get it, but I came somewhat close (1300 calories).

This month's 9 days of closing rings is much much more doable especially since temperatures are going down from the 105F (today) to low 80s as a high next week.
