I just joked on a different channel that I would need a 75 soft challenge, because 2 45 minute daily workouts with no rest days on my current work schedule would run me into the ground in a couple of days. I didn't think 75 soft existed 😂 Modifying that one workout rule and adding a rest day while maintaining the rest of the original challenge makes it much more doable. It can easily be adopted as a permanent lifestyle.
My only critique about alcohol in the soft is that sociable means different things to people where binging at bars, drinks with friends, dinner with hubby all are sociable. All can be daily, frequently, or on occassion. With no alcohol, there is no room for interpretation to fit in a possible addiction or alter your state of mind for relief.
Yeah the alcohol one is a bit weird for me as well as I probably drink less than 5 times a year. I'm quite young but I also was never much of a party person so I wouldn't even need a rule like that. Guess it shows how common drinking alcohol is for some people. However, you could say the same thing about the diet one. It isn't specified what the diet should include and so if you really wanted, you could continue to eat like you always do. I guess if there's a will there's a way in both directions. If you really want to build the discipline, you will make better choices and if you want to find an easy out you will find one.
Agree, but thats part of why I like the 75 soft one. It's involves a bit more personal goals and isn't so rigid, which makes it an easier way to start for many people who need a gentle nudge into healthier habits. With new routines, most people can sustain it longer when they aren't drastically changing a bunch of things all at once. So even if someone struggles with alcoholism, 75 soft would work better for them than 75 hard precisely for the alcohol rule. If they are cut off cold turkey, with true alcoholism - it could cause severe withdrawal sickness or worse. Even with people who only drink on a semi-regular basis, addiction is sneaky and you could be more addicted than you think. Telling those types of people to only drink socially gets them to be a bit more mindful and begin limiting themselves. Coming out of Covid times, I think the more subtle alcoholism became a big part of many peoples lives (we've all heard of wine moms!), so i think it could be good for some people to START saying no and, hopefully, challenge themselves to fully say no in the future.
I never succeeded in 75 hard, but it did instill in me the gallon of water a day habit and I've read several books I'd put off reading for years. So I'm glad I at least tried.
I watched your 75 hard video before and you did amazing with it! The discipline it requires is insane. The soft seems much more practical to start with, I think I would actually be able to stick it since it’s less restricting!
Thank you for watching! I am doing the 75 Soft currently and haven’t felt anywhere close to the stress/anxiety I felt with 75 Hard. I really appreciate the rest days and even get more than 45 minutes in some days when I feel like I have more to give! I like that it gives me a routine and goals to follow 😊 if you’re on the fence with trying it I would say definitely give it a go!
This is so doable!! I saw the 75 hard challenge and with me owning a couple of retail locations and working 7 days a week, that would be way too hard on me. 75 Soft is so perfect and I will start tomorrow! I've already been eating healthy and dropped 23 lbs over the past few months and I rarely drink now so this will work. 🎉
Your channel for some reason was automatically recommended and fascinated me. Let me tell you with much respect but you are gorgeous. May almighty God continue to bless you greatly today and always.
Hi! Yes I can post more about what I eat in a day 😊 I just recorded a full day of eating that I am posting tomorrow and will record my next grocery haul ❤️
I’m going to do a 75 Hard/but also Soft challenge. I’ll do all the things prescribed by 75 Hard, EXCEPT the second workout. I just don’t have time for that. No way. However, the one workout I will do will be outside, and instead of a second workout I’ll substitute 15-20 minutes of recovery work (yoga, stretching, theragun, foam roller etc). I think I could do 75 Hard, but that second workout… after about two weeks I’d really piss off my wife and alienate my kids. A 45 minute workout is really more than an hour, if you factor in prep and then shower. I just don’t have that time in the day between working full time, parenting young children, and night school. Take out the night school and I could maybe make it work, but I’m doing class 2-4 hours a night M-F.
Who has time for 2x45min workouts, one of them outside while having kids?! 😮 45min, yes, probably, in the evenings. But not twice. Basically, the 75 soft is my daily routine, as I drink a lot of water anyways. Reading sometimes just isn't in the books (pun intended) every day. Sometimes it's 0, sometimes it's 100. At least books for me. Reading to my little one adda up quickly. I actually need to adjust my diet and then everything would work out. Maybe I will challenge myself with that.
Two 45 minute workouts a day is tough and I definitely cannot imagine doing it with kids! It's great that you have a routine similar to 75 Soft already :)
Hi, 75 hard is insane, what is that with no fiction books? no alcohol, 2x45 mins workouts...I like the soft version much better, cos I find it sustainable
@@KatzeDerNacht22 The challenge is so you can read something that will help build your mind or learn something instead of going into a fantasy. Alcohol is toxic to the body obviously and most alcohol is 100 calories a shot. 2 45min workouts is crazy to me im not going to lie lol but its all about building discipline and seeing what is more of a priority
"It's a MENTAL challenge." --> *Daily Progress Pic* I just don't like the HARD challenge. It is really just a mental toughness test and I think it can totally ruin you.
1. Structured diet. *NO ALCOHOL/ CHEAT MEALS* 2. 2x 45min workouts *ATLEAST 1 OUTSIDE* 3. Drink a gallon of water a day 4. 10 pages of non-fiction book per day 5. Take a progress photo daily
75 Soft? Are you serious? That’s completely the opposite of what 75 Hard is supposed to be…teaches you discipline, mental toughness and grit. It’s NOT a fitness program or challenge…but you will get in shape. Any modifications of 75 Hard is for the weak looking for any excuse to do sh*t their way! Grow a pair and challenge yourself. Do something hard.
@@DarkPanthera mean is to enable weakness! Don’t be weak…challenge yourself to do something difficult, build discipline and stop finding short cuts to things!
I worked out for 45 minutes every single day along with doing my highly physical job as a waitress, (along with doing a yoga session for another 45 minutes/ running a mile) and I ended up giving myself injures, where I couldn't even sit down or walk without feel immense pain. Sometimes you need rest days so you dont give yourself injures. Following a diet is very great I encourage that along with drinking a gallon of water, and reading 10 pages of a non fiction book (lots of people find those parts the hardest especially the diet aspect, as most people struggle with food addiction). Discipline can be taught through simple things like getting up making your bed, doing your chores at a specific time everyday, working out for 5 or 6 days a week, reading a book for a set amount of time rather than read a specific amount of pages, telling yourself not to eat pizza even when everyone around is enjoying a slice. It's not mental weakness to take a rest a day if you truly feel yourself not being able to perform basic tasks like sitting down or walking.
@@ggracias It's a challenge, but the challenge is only with yourself. It's not a competition with anyone else. The 75 Soft Challenge can very well be a hard challenge for someone, especially someone who is going from doing none of these things to doing them every day for the next 75 days. And as the other person mentioned, you can learn discipline and build strength in so many different ways. Just getting up and showing up and staying consistent to meet your goals is showing discipline- doing the 75 Soft, Hard, or neither at all.
I've been hearing about this 75 Hard challenge, but with my current schedule, doing outdoor exercise wouldn't really be possible. It's nice to see a soft version. I'm going to try a hybrid version of the two since I am able to do everything required aside from the 45 minutes outside exercise.
75 soft is a good way to start then do 75 soft the second time around if a person doesn’t workout or go on different diets often I have done 75 soft no one knew I got a lot of compliments on how you I’m looking it’s definitely mental discipline and it shows you how much time we waste everyday doing things that don’t benefit us You look wonderful to me btw 😍
I was running to the bathroom every hour when I first started! I was starting to think people in my office were going to worry about me because of how many trips I was making 😅😂
@@Justinwtkns 3 liters would still be a lot for me as I'm neither tall nor that active. I also live in a colder climate so it's not like I'm sweating like crazy. Of course I drink water, but if I force myself to drink more than 2 liters when it's just gonna be more work for my kidney instead of actual hydration then where's the point? Of course if I'm more active and I'm actually thirsty, I might drink more than that but otherwise I might actually end up vomiting or just peeing clear water. Not every person needs the same amount of water to thrive. Also, depending on what you are eating, you are already getting a lot of fluids from your diet (soups, veggies, smoothies, juices etc).
@@july3817 your 70 percent water you wouldn’t eat as much and u consume sugar in taking water other ways make it a point to drink more water get a gallon bottle once u start you’ll love it
@@JustinwtknsTo each their own. I’m not for the gallon of water a day. Your pee should be pale yellow not clear. Clear, you’re flushing your electrolytes. I’m with original commenter, for me at least, 2 liters is minimum. I do drink more on some days.

A gallon of water is nuts. That's just ripping more electrolytes from your body.
so add some salts, the benefits outweigh the negative
@godbackwards that's not factually correct, people die doing this. Don't get your info off social media like a moron

It was a huge adjustment! 😅
I’m on day 33 of 75 hard and after a week of adjustment, your body gets used to it.
This was super helpful thanks (:
No audiobooks is kinda lame. But otherwise it seems interesting 🤔
Im gonna do yoga as a 2nd exercise session i already do most days its very convenient too
eeeeeehhh okaaay lets doooo it
i am starting total 66 evolution challenge tomorrow
That’s awesome, you got this! 😊
Everything is alright but not alcohol. I believe one should push themselves a little more even in 75 soft.
How many years is 75 days?
1. Structured diet. *NO ALCOHOL/ CHEAT MEALS*
2. 2x 45min workouts *ATLEAST 1 OUTSIDE*
3. Drink a gallon of water a day
4. 10 pages of non-fiction book per day
5. Take a progress photo daily
Where is next 75soft
I’m in the middle of doing it now! It will likely be posted end of June 😊
75 soft and add social drinking lmao
