in an attempt to collect as many apple watch
fitness badges as i can, i get so excited when i see the opportunity for a
special edition. tonight before i went to the basement to workout, i saw a
badge for international dance day. it’s a neat looking badge as the shape is
irregular, not the typical circle. in order to obtain the badge, one must do a
dance workout for at least 20 minutes. seeing as i don’t dance, i simply told
my apple watch i was doing a dance workout then hit the elliptical. the plan
was to hit the elliptical for 20 minutes, get the dance badge, then begin
lifting. sure enough after 21 minutes on the elliptical, the badge didn’t
appear. i did 10 more minutes on the elliptical and nothing. frustrated, i
subscribed (used my free trial) to apple fitness. i hopped on the elliptical
while the 20 minute dance workout was playing. afterwards, still nothing. i
went upstairs and told my dad the situation before heading back downstairs.
thinking maybe the watch can sense my arm motions and other aspects, i put on a
20 minute dance workout and actually did it. afterwards, still nothing! it
finally was brought to my attention that international dance day is april 29th.
today is the 27th. so it finally made sense why the badge wasn’t appearing no
matter what i did. tired as hell, i retreated upstairs to a warm shower and
several water bottles.
i for damn sure jumped the gun, but at least i burned some calories.
