Why not create an award for getting moving.. and taking an old device to Apple Store for recycling?

That would fit in better with the earth day celebration.

Apple should expand the challenges. They need to add more workouts to Apple health.

A continuous 30 minute workout? On a Monday?

Pass.

I squeeze in a workout when I can. Sometimes it’s 30 minutes, other times it might be 20 or 10. I try to get something in, though.
