Here we go again!...

A group of us will be restarting the 75 hard challenge this Thursday the 27th of Feb.

If you want in post up and let's go!

---

The rules...

***These rules are strict and ANY changes mean you are NOT doing the 75 hard challenge***

Typical rules changes that people try (and that void the challenge) are:
- not having one work out outside every day
- trying to suggest drinking less water than what the rules state
- not working out every day
- listening to audiobooks instead of reading
- trying to suggest stuff like cutting your grass is a workout

If this is going to be you then just go start your own thread and call it something else.

Don't bother posting about it being too much water or that you can't work out that much.
You don't have to do this challenge and the rules won't be changed to suit you.

So... NO RULE CHANGES OR "MODIFICATIONS" AT ALL.

The 75 Hard Challenge Rules:

  1. Follow a diet with no cheat meals – It isn't specific > just choose one that fits your lifestyle
  2. Workout 2x a day for at least 45 minutes – 1 of the workouts has to be outdoors
  3. Drink a gallon of water a day
  4. Read 10 pages of non-fiction entrepreneurship/personal development book per day
  5. Take a progress pic daily
  6. No alcohol consumption
If you do the above for 75 days in a row with no changes or days missed - you win.

To hear the rules and the idea behind it all you can listen to the podcast here with Andy Frisella:

Background for me doing this the second time:

During and since the summit a few dozen people have asked me about the 75 hard challenge and mentioned wanting to do it.
The last thread did really well with over 100k views and I would estimate around 30+ people finishing the challenge.

I think this time we can do even better and aim for 50 people to finish.

Last night in our mastermind call we had a few of us agree to get going on this...
@GoodluckChuck @Bradley R @GuitarManDan @JordanK @Water @Creed - put your hands up who is in.

On a personal level, I felt amazing when I finished the last time and have been keen to get back to that level once again.
---

If you are in for starting on this date post up and let us know.

There will never be "a good time" - the point of the challenge is to make time and do it anyway when it is difficult.


Goal: Let's see if we can get 50 people to finish this successfully.


Are you in..?
