WHY DID YOU START 75 HARD?
Alex: The main reason was for all the benefits I knew it’d provide, both physically and discipline-wise. I wanted to kick start the new year with a goal of getting fit, and 75 Hard was a worthy challenge that I wanted to complete.
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE LEARNED OR YOUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS SO FAR?
Cathy: I have learned that I really enjoy reading. Since becoming an adult, I haven’t really read any books or made time to read. I’ll listen to audiobooks with no problem but reading always made me tired. I try NOT to read before bed so I can retain what I read. So far, I’ve read 2 books and the self-help books have made me WANT to learn more. I’ve also learned that I need to plan ahead for the next day. One of my workouts has to be outside and if it’s going to rain in the evening, then my morning workout is outside. Eating the same foods for breakfast and lunch, as well as meal planning/prepping has saved me from having to figure things out last minute.
WHAT RESOURCES HAVE BEEN THE MOST HELPFUL FOR YOU THROUGHOUT 75 HARD?
Cathy: Reading the 75 Hard book really gave a good base and knowledge of what to do and what I can expect. Andy Frisella maps out what certain days will look like and what most people go through. So far, he’s been spot on.
My Rucker, Training Weight Vest, and Ruck Plate Carrier have all been crucial to the workouts as well.
ANY ADVICE FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT TAKING ON 75 HARD?
J1: Listen/read the program intention before committing! As Andy mentions, “This isn’t a fitness challenge, it’s a mental transformation!” No compromise!
