First – let’s take a look at 75 Hard
We first heard about Andy Frisella’s 75 Hard extreme challenge in 2020. The free “transformational mental toughness program” includes 6 rigid rules to obey for 75 days.
The podcast host of RealAF created the 75 Hard Challenge, and he doesn’t have any medical background that we could find.
The 6 Daily Rules for 75 Hard
- Follow a diet & consume no alcohol.
- Complete Two 45-minute workouts, and one has to be outside.
- Eat no cheat meals
- Take a progress picture daily
- Drink 1 gallon of water
- Read 10 pages of a personal development book (audiobooks don’t count)
Can I modify 75 Hard?
No, you cannot modify the 75 Hard Challenge according to the creator, Andy Frisella.
If you don’t hit all 6 rules 100%, it’s back to Day 1 for you! Mind you, these are all rules he’s come up with.
We’ve found most dietitians, personal trainers, or therapists would say this is too extreme. The challenge actually could cause you more physical and mental issues than you started with!
Sounds crazy, right?
If you’ve read to this point and you’re going, “uh no, thanks! That’s nuts.” You’re our people. HA!
Cue the 75 Soft Challenge!

We recommend choosing a start date and committing to the 75 Soft Challenge Checklist below!
75 Soft Challenge Checklist
The 75 Soft Challenge Checklist was designed based on the feedback we read from nutrition experts and personal trainers. (You can read more about that at 5 Legit Reasons You Should to Avoid 75 Hard)
These rules are designed to give structure to your days so that you can progress towards your goals.
