The 75 Hard Challenge: Our Unfiltered Thoughts and Why You Won't Catch Us Doing It

Let’s talk about the viral 75 Hard Challenge. It’s marketed as a mental toughness challenge—but too often, people use it as a shortcut for a fitness transformation… and that’s where things get messy.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why this challenge just isn’t for us, and why it might not be the best choice for everyone—especially if you’re still working on building a sustainable relationship with food, fitness, and self-discipline.

Here’s what we cover:

• The difference between mental toughness and true self-discipline
• Why 75 Hard is often misused as a fitness fix
• The danger of taking on extreme structure without a strong foundation
• What happens when you finish… and don’t know what’s next
• Why we choose sustainability over shock-value when it comes to growth

We’re not here to bash the challenge—but we are here to share our honest perspective as two people who’ve built long-term habits and know what it takes to make change last. If you’ve ever felt drawn to a “shiny new challenge” but burned out before the finish line, this one’s for you.
