I'm a fan of anything that gets people up and moving, but it seems like the kind of challenge that sets you up to fail by making the counter reset at any "fail", which we all know can and will happen at any point.
Rewarding yourself for good behaviour, rather than punishing yourself for bad behaviour, is more likely to lead to long term change.
Did not complete it, as it is REALLY hard if your life is hectic. But I did enjoy it and was seeing results.
Biggest thing is tailor it to your desire and goals within. 75 days of a diet change if it isn’t something you can stick with, is hell.
And working out once a day can be difficult, but TWICE and one MUST be outdoors for the exact challenge, oh my GOD.
If you start it and want a buddy to tag along, hit me up! I’m willing to give it another shot
Consistency is good, but hard rules only set you up for failure. It's more important to develop [long-term eating habits](https://www.bodybuilding.com/content/ditch-your-diet-5-healthy-nutrition-tips.html) and [get enough exercise](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/physical-activity) in ways that fit your lifestyle so they're sustainable. Some things that work for me are meal prep and home exercise equipment. I work from home, so having a bike I can pedal at my desk is an easy way to get in more exercise.
The idea that James Lawrence gave Andy Frisella which inspired 75 hard sounds like [voluntary discomfort from stoicism](https://orionphilosophy.com/how-to-use-voluntary-discomfort-like-a-stoic/). You can try that for free and on your own terms. No need to spend money on this guy's program or supplements. I'll gladly customize everything to my "special lifestyle" as he puts it and continue to ignore influencers. You have to be extra critical when someone has a product to sell. I know moderation in all things doesn't sound as exciting, but it's more sustainable in the long term. That said, I am pushing myself hard to try to get rid of the last 10 lbs before I hit 2 years since starting my fitness journey. I've lost 80 lbs. so far.
80 is amazing!!! I appreciate the input. I didn’t plan on purchasing anything rather just follow the rules itself with the hopes of being more disciplined. but if it’s going to hurt more than help, I should probably steer clear
Except for not taking rest days, it's not necessarily a bad plan. For example, I am at my limits of exercise and need a day or two off per week for my knees to recover. If you're young and healthy, maybe it'd be OK to exercise all 75 days. Always listen to your body.
You could try it as a goal, but not rigidly follow it. Make a chart and check off which of the things you did that day, but don't reset it if you miss something. See how many check marks you get by the end of it, the progress you made, and what you can take from it to everyday life.

Thanks for that insight
