Challenges and badges

What a Challenge is

Pick a goal, keep walking, and earn a badge. Each challenge has one rule, for example:

• Goal Week: reach your personal daily step goal on 5 days within 7 days of joining.
• Easy Start: walk 3,000 steps or more on any 3 days. There’s no time limit.
• Weekend Walker: walk 20,000 steps in total across the first Saturday and Sunday from the day you join (join on a Saturday and that weekend counts).

Some count your daily steps, some count walks or a type of workout you record in Mova. Each challenge’s page says exactly what counts.

Join a challenge

1. Go to Workouts and tap Challenges at the top.
2. Tap a challenge to see its rule and how it works.
3. Tap Join challenge.

Your plan or Program stays as it is. Walking you already do counts automatically, including walks from your plan or a Program. You can be in several challenges at once.

Follow your progress

The challenge page shows how far you are (for example 1 of 5 goal days) and how much time is left. Today shows the challenge you’ve joined that ends soonest.

Leave or start again

• Leave: on the challenge, tap ⋯, then Leave challenge, and confirm. This attempt ends here. Your walks and your Plan stay as they are, and you can start again whenever you like.
• Ran out of time: that attempt ends. Your walks still count for your goal and in Progress.
• Start again: tap Start again on the challenge, after an attempt has ended or after you’ve completed it. A new attempt counts from the day after your last completion.

Late step data

For two days after a challenge’s time is up, it shows Checking your last day…, because steps from Apple Health or Health Connect can arrive late and still count. Days without step data never count against you.

Badges

Complete a challenge and you earn its badge: Mova shows Badge earned on the phone you recorded it with. Your badges are in Workouts › Challenges › My badges (also linked from Progress › Achievements). Each challenge has one badge; if you complete it again, the badge shows how many times (for example 2×), and each attempt is listed in History. A completed challenge is never taken back.
