Is the step challenge the only weekly challenge outside groups?

I have been automatically added to a weekly step challenge. Cool.

But I would rather join a recurring, weekly active calories challenge.

Is there any such challenge which I can join in the same way without belonging to a group. Or are there any groups which offer such a challenges?

Are you referring to calories expended or consumed or both. There might be interest in this, especially for folks working on losing or gaining weight. Given the personal data Garmin asks for regarding height, weight and activity level I would think the development of an algorithm to assemble people in these groups would be easy. Then, folks could be given the choice of optng in or out of that particular Challenge. However, there may be something for folks interested in these types of statistics elsewhere in the Forums.

Active calories are calories expended above BMR.

Yes, I chose that term because it refers to calories above one’s basal metabolic rate and assumed that was what you were referring to. I think your proposal is a good one.

That would be the "most equal" challenge if your friends are doing various activities or even just steps. I wish it could be available though Challenge and not only Group challenge
