From January 1st of the last couple years, for no reason other than pure insanity, I have embarked on the infamous and now viral mental toughness program called 75 Hard. It was created by Andy Frisella, the founder of 1st Phorm, and it’s a blueprint in creating bulletproof discipline in all areas of your life.
Sounds good right? We could all use some extra motivation and discipline to live a more fulfilling life, but I hear you all asking; what is the program and how ‘hard’ can it really be? Well, it isn’t so much that the daily tasks are difficult on their own, what’s hard is ticking every box, every day, with zero excuses, and zero compromises.
Every day for 75 days you must: 1. Complete 2 45-minute workouts and 1 must be outside. They can’t be done consecutively, and it isn’t about the what the workout is, it can be a walk or stretching, you just must do something active. 2. Read 10 pages from a non-fiction, learning/self-development book. 3. Drink a gallon of water (3.8 litres for everyone outside the US), 4. Follow a diet. You choose your diet for whatever your personal goal is, but it must be healthy. 5. No cheat meals or alcohol. 6. Take a progress picture.
They say it takes 30 days to build a habit, but this program will show you it takes more than twice that and brutal dedication to solidify one for life. If you want to test yourself, if you want to see what you’re really made of, to see what potential you must achieve anything you put your mind to, look no further.
With no exaggeration, and in every sense of the word, the 75 Hard program is life changing.
With pure coincidence I recently managed to tick another one of my “secret” bucket-list, when my wife asked me to accompany her on a brief business trip to Naples, Italy. Pompeii has always been a place I dreamt of visiting but never managed to get to plan along the years, however when my wife asked […]
The weather is finally getting warmer in London, and we are starting to get some sunny days. On one of these sunny days last weekend, I decided to go for a nice walk in Hampstead Heath. It certainly starts to feel more like a good idea to get out of bed early on a weekend […]
I’ve made no secret in the past of my love for going to the theatre and seeing live shows. A recent birthday treat from a good friend combined both of these when we went to see Come Alive! The Greatest Showman. You are advised to arrive one hour before the performance starts which is well […]
