I've decided Apple has three levels of challenge that they rotate depending on your success in achieving them. 1) Pretty easy. These probably don't require more than your normal effort. 2) Challenging - you'll have to up your game, but you can do it. 3) No freakin way! You've met the past few challenges and now it's time for one you can't do.

This month, I got #3. Only one week in the past 7 years (yes I'm OCD and track this) have I have averaged 1200 calories per day for the week. Now Apple thinks I can do it for a month. Ha ha ha. Dear Apple, I am a retired old man, not a professional athlete! :laughing:

BTW, just to give you an idea what it takes for me to burn 1200 calories, I ran 6 miles this morning and I'm not to 1000 calories yet.

You’re so right on the three levels of challenges! Apple has decided that I don’t need any rest days this month

Close all three rings 16 times. I've managed all four days so far, so this one should happen. (I did manually lower my move ring last week by 10% after my sprained ankle a couple of weeks ago - first time that I haven't used the suggested move total in the weekly summary, though this week's remained at the lower level.)

Made it on the 17th.

I didn't reach my (ridiculous) challenge of 37200 calories, but I did reach 34000 calories. That is the most calories I have ever burned in a month (I'm OCD and keep a spreadsheet), so I'm quite satisfied.
