So you’ve decided to embark on the 75-Day Soft Challenge. That’s great!
While it’s certainly more manageable than its predecessor, the 75 Hard Challenge, maintaining any diet and exercise routine can easily prove difficult. It takes a commitment to get results.
Here are some tips for keeping your goal in sight and making it happen.
Establish a Routine
Consistency is key. The two most important steps you can take out of the gate are establishing a daily routine and starting each day with a plan of action.
- Schedule your workouts
- Decide when you’ll do meal prep
- Practice mindfulness
- Incorporate variety in your routine (try mixing up the workouts, experimenting with new recipes, adding outdoor activities)
A dynamic and engaging routine can help you stay motivated and inspired to complete the challenge, which asks you to do the following for 75 days:
- Complete one 45-minute workout per day (with one day of active recovery each week)
- Drink approximately one gallon of water per day
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet and save the alcohol for social events
- Read ten pages of any book per day

Connect, Share, Inspire
Staying motivated with any endeavor, especially the 75-Day Soft Challenge, is easier when you share the journey with others.
Consider joining online forums, participating in workout classes, and surrounding yourself with people that motivate and inspire you.
Share your successes and challenges with others, be an inspiration for others, and always remember that any setbacks you experience are an opportunity for growth and learning.
Keep Your Eye on the Prize
Staying motivated throughout the challenge is not about perfection. It’s about the progress you make and the perseverance you have to reach your goal. Eat better, focus on your fitness, and become stronger and healthier.
