What’s your December challenge? Do you think you’ll complete it?

[EdwinG]

Here’s mine.

And I will adventure as to guessing that I won’t complete it.

Why did I get 5 minute walking workouts when I’m on my yoga kick right now

Close all activity rings 18 times this month.

As I said in the November thread, I am on jury duty through at least the 15th this month, likely into the week of the 18th, so unless the watch lowers my move goal in the next couple of weeks (possible!), I don't think I'll make it this month.

Since I was travelling a lot of November, I didn't get my usual exercise minutes. I'm home all month, so this will be easy. It should take 16 days (minimal exercise on Sundays).

I'm up to 7 times already, with 29 calories. to go today (don't think I will make it today) so - I might just make it.

29 to go? That sounds like a few push-ups after dinner.

Done!

Exactly the expected date:

This is the first year I accomplished all 12 monthly challenges. I'd like to say I put forth extraordinary effort to do that, but not really. In fact, nearly all the challenge were pretty easy. Eight of the twelve challenges were of the 14 times variety, a type of challenge that I think was new this year and that is much easier to make if you're travelling a lot. And none of the challenges were crazy impossible as I've seen in the past (e.g., you ran 150 miles last month, so see if you can run 200 miles this month!).

Did you see a similar pattern in your challenges? Is it possible Apple decided to make the challenges a little easier this year?

First of all, congratulations!

There is definitely a pattern in the challenges. But I have not paid enough attention to mine to see if it matches yours.

And I don’t find my challenges to be easier. They’re about the same as previous years. However, they are harder to achieve because the battery life of the Apple Watch decreased but challenges don’t account for that.

I was sitting in bed and about to turn off the lights. Not worth getting all worked up when I'd rather fall asleep faster.

Yes, absolutely!

Congrats on achieving all 12 monthly challenges! I’ve noticed mine have definitely been easier this year compared to other years past. Why I don’t know but I’ll take it.

I made it. Strangely enough, most days at the courthouse I closed all 3 rings despite a reduced exercise schedule.

Done, but life made it hard for me!
