I completed 75 Hard February 19, 2021 and I documented the journey! I'm giving you everything you need to know.
It completely changed me.
If you know me, you know I’m not big on promoting things that I don’t 100% believe in and I’m definitely not one to push things onto people that they don’t need.
That said, I read about this program called 75Hard and it caught my interest.
75 Hard is 75 straight days of:
⁃ One progress photo
⁃ One gallon of water
⁃ Staying on a nutrition program
⁃ Working out for 45min, 2x/ day (one HAS to be outside)
⁃ Read 10 pages of a self-development book
⁃ No alcohol
No doubt, at first I had a LOT of questions.
I asked myself things like, “Is this too rigid of a program?” or “Will it actually be worth the time?”
But, without question, the only time I ended up wasting was the time spent trying to talk myself out of starting.
If it interest you, check out this video I made to document my journey through 75 Hard.

I’m on Day 75 and oh my goodness!! Everything you’re saying/said is spot on! I’m so scared to stop the challenge and this challenge has changed me so much!
Congrats Amy! That’s a HUGE accomplishment! Don’t stop! The time it takes to build the momentum you have right now is not worth it. If anything, maybe a day or a meal you’ve been craving, but overall, stay with it!
@@NickTShelton - Yes!! That’s exactly what I was thinking too. I’m not going to quit just because the 75 days are over. This worked for me in every way and I want to keep the progress going. So grateful for this program and Andy Frisella and your video! ☺️💯
Love it! 💪🏼
@@NickTShelton Andy frisella has a continuation for the 75hard program called the live hard program , you should look it up.
Hey Jensen, I’m actually starting phase 1 here in the next week! Going to give the Live Hard program a go! Cold showers going to be a good time, haha.
Thanks for posting this video! It really does highlight some of the tools that worked when doing 75 hard.
Also, great physical transformation!
Thanks Timothy, I appreciate you checking it out! I’m starting phase 1 on Saturday of Live Hard, so here goes!
Love this! I’m on day three and super excited to see and feel the results! Thanks for all the info!
That’s awesome Samantha! Keep it up, stay with it. 💪🏼👊🏼
Good for you man and great review! I am on day 15 right now and this video for sure helps
Thanks Ty! Keep going man. The further you get, the stronger you become!
Starting it today and came for inspo! Congrats on your amazing results and commitment w/ yourself!
Thanks Michelle! Good luck and go get it!
Such an awesome video! Thank you Nick!
My wife and I are on our first week of 75 Hard and this was very helpful.
Thanks Jamie! Can’t wait to see your progress! 💪🏼
Im on day 3, and this video was exactly what I need to stay on course. Thank you!
Heck yeah! Great work!
Same!
Awesome Job!!! Thank You so much for sharing your thoughts!! I finished it last year & 3 of my kiddos finished the program.. my 14 year old is about to start phase 3... I’m starting the #livehard program.. Thank You again & Keep Crushing It! Love&Light from California 💗💗
Thanks so much, Sheri! That’s awesome you and your kids are just blasting through it! I just finished up phase 1, myself. Looking forward to phase 2 and 3. Keep working hard!
Thanks for this excellent insight Nick. I have started the 75 twice due to work commitments but even early on in this journey I am seeing a benefit in my mindset. I like the prescriptive way this programme works and the lack of BS. I have recommended the 75 hard to some colleagues who are trapped in the cycle I now recognise as self-defeating habits. Every one should do the 75 hard. I am fairly convinced that people who have been struggling with mental health issues will find huge benefits with 75 hard.
Thanks, Amanda. I love your outlook on the program. I definitely agree. It can take you from the darkest times in your life into a completely different headspace. Keep going and stay on it.
Thanks for being real. I plan on starting and want to make sure I do it right.
Get after it! You won’t regret it.
I’m on day 4, great video to keep me motivated. Thanks! ❤
Alright! Keep working hard! Thanks for watching!
Day 3 lets go!!! Thanks for the video
Let’s go, Gabriel!
Can I just say what a brilliant video this was! Really deserves to be viewed by so many more people!!!
I loved your point about the people you hang out with being a major influence on your life.
I’m traveling during two weekends in the next two months and I was curious if you had any tips on how to manage during travel. I’m working on creating a sustainable lifestyle and would really like to know how people incorporate travel in their lifestyle… how do they still count macros and get a workout in?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!
Yes, travel can be chaotic, but definitely possible to still live the lifestyle you are creating. 2 things I’d recommend:
1) prep ahead of time - if there is a market nearby, get your staples there as soon as you arrive to your destination. Be proactive about hitting your macros, not reactive throughout the day.
2) Make the smartest choice- Sometimes, especially if you are traveling with family and friends, they will want to go out to eat. The main thing, if all else fails, is to choose the item that will be the best fit for your macros. Typically every place has some type of “healthier” option.
At the end of the day, play the long game. Do your best on sticking to the lifestyle you’ve created.
Here’s a video I made about traveling and sticking to my macros. Hope it helps, maybe a few tips!

Thanks for making this video! Just getting started. Day 4
That’s awesome, man! Good luck! Keep working hard!
EXCELLENT video. very well explained.
Thanks a lot Laura!
Awesome video and excellent info💯
Thanks mark!
I needed this today.
Just to keep going.
Keep going, you know you can get this done. 👊🏼
This was great, thank you!
Thanks Shelby! Glad you liked it!
Excellent video!!
Thanks a lot, Tiph!
Great video, Nick! I wanna know a little more about the program and do it
Thank you Cristhian! Awesome, excited for ya!
Good review man!
Thanks Colby! I appreciate it!
I'm on day 5! Looking forward to that 75 day feeling!!
Keep goin’, my friend!
Very cool video. thanks for posting.
I appreciate that, thanks for checking it out.
I start my journey in January. I'm so excited because the challenge ends in a few weeks before I run a half-marathon! Thank you for the information; this puts me at ease.
Good luck with the program and your half marathon! Keep working hard! I have more videos in the playlist on 75 Hard and the Live Hard program, if you choose to go that route. Keep going!
I have a similar goal to yours, I’m currently on day 35 and one of my biggest goals for this coming year is to complete a half-marathon, something I’d never considered doable in my life because of my unhealthy habits and lifestyle. good luck in beginning your 75 hard journey and best wishes for ‘23..🌟
@@jacoblautaha1292 Love this! I ran a few half marathons and one full marathon, and now I'm hooked! I recommend downloading the Nike running app and doing their half marathon training program. Physical training is essential, but the mental aspect of it is critical. It's going to be tough, but it won't be impossible. Good luck to you. Go crush it!
@@NickTShelton Hey man! Just wanted to give you an update. I completed the 75 hard challenge and my half marathon! My goal for the half marathon was to get under 2 hours, and I missed it by one minute. But on the flip side, I crushed my old PR by 18 minutes! Hope you're still crushing it!
@@vikingsruleU Whoa! Huge PR! That's awesome to hear! Congrats!
You know it, I am training for my first half iron man this fall. Going to document it and release it later this year. I'm ready for a new push!
Idk why 75 Hard keeps popping up in my awareness, but I’m taking it as a cue as something I need to do. I’m 45 days in on Semen Retention, so maybe that’s why. Thanks for the video!
That’s what’s up! Do what you gotta do to get to that next level. 👊🏼
Yes, it popped up in my page for no reason. It’s definitely a sign
Enjoyed this thank you
Excellent work bro! I start my challenge on Oct. 1st!
I appreciate that Johnathan! Good luck my dude! Reach out if you have any questions!
that was very beneficial !! Thank uu so muchh !!
Awesome, glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out!
I was going into day 4 and got crazy sick. I even did the 45 walk but nearly passed out. So I'll have to start again! At least it was at the beginning and not near the end! I did notice drinking so much it was hard to eat as well.
You’ll be surprised how your body adapts to the program relatively quickly! Good luck! 💪🏼
Day 2 today. Completing this challenge seems like a huge mountain to climb, so gonna take it one day at a time.💪💪💪
It’s all worth it in the end.
Great job bro.
I appreciate you @ledell01 👊🏼
Great video, very informative.
I appreciate ya!
Great video, you just earned yourself a sub! Stay hard.
I appreciate you! 👊🏼 Stay hard.
Great content. I am on day 10 and I needed a pep talk. TY
The conversation about discipline was so on point. I am reading James Fell's Holy Shit Moment and that is a summary of what he is talking about. I will be rewatching.
Keep going! Be proud that you’ve stuck with it longer than the majority, but stay hungry to make your place in the minority that finish. Keep it up! 💪🏼
I'd be curious to know how well your challenge went!
Thanks for asking. In 75 days I lost 6.5 pounds of fat with no muscle loss. My numbers are from a body composition test BodPod that I did take on day 75. 75 Hard was critical to getting me out every day this winter and I am greatful for that. However, I did not finish the challenge.
I do a couple of these things already such as drinking a gallon of water a day, daily exercise/movement of some nature and follow a high protein, high fat diet. I am on day 13 of no alcohol by choice and only last week heard about this challenge... once the sciatic nerve pain completely disappears I am considering starting this challenge! I need my discipline back!!
Get it! You’ll never look back!
Awesome review and excellent pointers on how to succeed on the 75 Hard Challenge.
Thanks Jamie! I appreciate you watching!
This was beautifully stated
I appreciate you 🙏🏼
Good stuff!
Thanks a lot!
Day 5 and yessss environment is so essential!!!
Keep the momentum rolling!
Such a good video
Thanks a lot Alessio!
Hell yeah!! Let’s gooooo
Yeah buddy!!
Nice work...I am researching my diet so this was helpful. It sounds like you changed your diet throughout though. From listening to Andy and reading about the program it sounds like you should have started over at day 1 when you made changes to your diet
Appreciate that. The diet is the loose part of this program that isn't clearly defined. He says "follow a diet. Make smart choices." My goal was not to continue losing weight, so I ate the same things, just increased calories to find maintenance - all while tracking macros.
i am on day 6! I love it so far!
Love to hear it, keep going!
Well done, I'm on day 6 and already feeling better
Thanks Davie! Keep working hard 👊🏼
I start day 1 tomorrow ... yikes! I'm equally excited and super nervous. 😂
Let’s get it!
One thing I realized about myself is that I really need to be challenged to get things done, so I'm starting the challenge tomorrow.
We only get better by pushing our limits. Get it, my friend. 👊🏼💪🏼
@@NickTShelton Thanks for the video, it was the push and inspiration I needed.
Watching this to prep myself for doing the 75 hard! Great video. Unsure when I'll start, but any tips would be welcome!
Hey Hannah, I’ve got 3 things for you:
1) now is the right time. Jump right in and give it your best.
2) schedule your day. Eventually these things become a habit, but at the start, it can be tough. The schedule is going to help you operate at your best.
3) listen to Andy frisella’s podcast where he discusses 75 hard. It’s a good listen and might clear up any things you might be questioning.
Hope that helps! Go get it!
@@NickTShelton Thanks so much!
@@HannahCharlesworth98 stop with the makeup. Too much.
@@clenjones5748 Nah, I'm good. I like having body autonomy, so I'll do as I please 😊
@@HannahCharlesworth98 no you must stop!!!!!!
I’m on day 2, so far so good.
That’s what’s up, Amalia! Keep going! 💪🏼
Starting day one!
Get after it, Everett!
I got the Stanley thermos 2 quarts. Put up an affiliate link for that. I also downloaded RP app.
That’s what’s up. Great idea, thanks!
Day one….about to hit the kayak on the lake for my 2nd 45.
That's where it's at! Great work, keep going!
This is a great idea for a workout, I hadn’t thought of this. Definitely gonna do this in the future!
Thanks
Day 52 💪🏻 and the mental changes can’t be seen with pictures 📚
Good work! The biggest change is on the mental side. Finish strong! 💪🏼
@@NickTShelton thank you!
I build my circle from my mentors and inspirations too
That’s what’s up 💪🏼
Well done, if I did this challenge I would struggle with 2 X workout challenge. Wish they would simplify the challenge 😩
Thanks a lot! You can totally do it! I know it sounds overwhelming, but a walk or thorough stretching session can count until you get accustomed to the twice daily workout.
Lol
Nice!
Thanks Lucas!
Hello from Brazil my friend.
Hello Jackson, cheers to you!
Day 74 for me!
Alright! So close! Finish strong! 💪🏼
Hey boss what would you recommend to learn about macro counting ??
Hey man - some good resources I’ve used with my own coaching clients and for personal knowledge is RP Strength and Precision Nutrition. Both are great sources of info and have a large bank of information since their business is nutrition.
Hi, I started 75 Hard 15 days ago but yesterday I completely forgot to take a progress photo but completed all tasks. I’ve done this challenge 5 times now and I don’t want to restart😢, any tips?
Set an alarm every day, maybe multiple alarms. Title it ‘progress photo.’ It’s meant to to be hard but that means we have to rise up. Set the alarm, use a sticky note and place it on your bathroom mirror, you got this. Stay up and keep going.
Hey Nick- Fellow Crossfitter on 75 hard. Your referral to RP strength has been so helpful. Putting together macros has made managing energy so much better.
Did you continue to phase 1? If so did you take a break from 75 hard until starting P1?
Hey David, thanks a lot! Yeah, you never really know the difference it makes until you start to follow them.
I took a break due to some traveling, but I’m starting Phase 1 on Monday, may 10. Looking forward to it and will be sure to post about it.
How’s 75 hard going for you?
@@NickTShelton On Day 57. It's best short-term program decision I have made, definitely starting to become habits. Great content...Good luck and look forward to your posts on it!
That’s great to hear, David! Keep working hard and finish strong!
Thanks a lot!
Day 2 Guys. I'm ready for it. Wholeheartedly. I am feeling tired , as I was up all night peeing. However my tiredness isn't putting me off. I'm going to complete the 75. Me and my boss are doing it in unicen. All the motivation I Need
Keep working hard! Glad to see things aren’t knocking you off the path! 👊🏼
@@NickTShelton hey !
Could you please advice me on something.
I'm used to drinking 2 litres of water easily, even 3 at times. No worries at all.
But the Gallon began to irritate my stomach. It felt like it was stripping the lining of something, I experienced burning too. I didn't last much longer on that challenge due to the discomfort. What could that of been?
@@danielaevans9331 hey! I’d first check with a doctor for a diagnosis, but there are some variables I’m not aware of. Were you starting early on your intake or did you wait a while before consuming? Spreading out the intake is best. Were you consuming adequate salts in your diet? Too much water can lower electrolytes and create an entire host of issues. Without knowing all the details, I’d say maybe those were part of the issue.
Above anything else, I hope you are feeling better and recovered!
@@NickTShelton Hey Nick, thanks for the response!
Erm... I'd say my diet was healthy, with enough salt, for sure.
I have a feeling it was too much water for my intestines to be honest.
I'm not cancelling out 75 hard. I'd defo try again.
Commencing Keto next month. Been 10 years since I did it. Old school Keto. No Keto health bars, no nonsense. Just good old protein and fats for me.
Have you ever done Keto before and if so, did you do it for long ?
@@danielaevans9331 Yeah, I'd say you're right about the water.
Good question. I do like trying different diets, in case someone comes for a recommendation or just wants to know my experience. I tried keto, but only for about a month. I didn't like it because I felt very depleted when trying to push the intensity in my workouts. I also, didn't love that it gave me that weird taste in my mouth, haha. For people that have autoimmune conditions, I've heard great stories about it clearing many of those results up. For me, I'm not so sure I love it.
Starting 75 soon! Anyone have good book recommendations?
David Goggins new book came out yesterday, I grabbed that. Anything by Tim Grover. I also dig “the one thing” and “the last law of attraction book you’ll ever need to read.”
Good luck on 75 Hard!
Did you think you were going to fail or worry about failing before starting? I've been wanting to do thus for over a year but I don't want to deal with the disappointment in case I fail
Good question William. Sure, failure crossed my mind a time or two early on, but you can’t let the fear cripple you from experiencing the success on the other side. The intent of failure is to get you to learn and correct so you can succeed in the future. The alternative is not trying, which will lead to regret. That’s something you’ll never be able to learn from because there is no data.
Good luck 💪🏼
@@NickTShelton thank you
You got it!
Its necessary drink one gallon of water? Or we can ajust?
Hey Raquel, according to the rules of the program, it calls for 1 gallon of water.
I want to do this but I work 12-14hrs
How many days a week?
Why have I been doing this for the better part of a year but not gone past day 17? And done day 1 over and over a lot of times.
What keeps tripping you up? Where do you keep falling short?
@@NickTShelton I guess it's not planning my day right,with the time for the 2nd workout, timing the water, Late nights, etc
A few things that may help:
1) put the program requirements on repeat in your phone calendar and alarm every day until it becomes a habit
2) write the program requirements on paper - keep them in your pocket or hang them on your door frame. This way, they’ll be a reminder for the task at hand.
3) make a checklist each day with the requirements and check them off as you complete them.
Hope that helps. Keep working hard!
did you get more tanned in your 75 days ??
This comes naturally when you get healthier
Day one what is the bowl of doom?
Great to see you starting Patrick!
So, “original bowl of doom” is below. Feel free to adjust measurements to what you want.
-1 sweet potato (diced or mashed)
-6-8 oz. ground beef or bison
-1-2 fried eggs
-2 strips of bacon
-1/4 to 1/2 an avocado
-top it off with salsa
As you can see, the original is pretty high in fat and if that works with your diet, go for it. I did a “modified version” for a little bit less fat intake and that is here:
-1 sweet potato (diced or mashed)
-6-8 oz. chicken
-250g-300g egg whites
-1/4 to 1/2 an avocado
-top it off with salsa
Still tastes great and helped with my macro balance!
Hey, I got a good question.. How can I get 2 workouts in? I work 12hrs a day and I have a new born. With half the day already gone b4 I get home,, how can I workout twice
It’s a tough situation, but I would recommend doing your workouts at home to maximize your time and availability to be there for your newborn if something comes up. Something like those workout videos from a few years back like insanity, p90x, etc might be good options to eliminate a commute to and from the gym. Yep, not the most ideal and have to get a little creative, but you can make it happen. Good luck buddy.
Do I have to workout every day without rest days? And what about when I have to travel for long hours in between?
The program requirements are to workout 2x per day, everyday - you determine the intensity of those workouts based on how your body feels.
@@NickTShelton damn. I have to be mentally prepared for working out twice a day. So, 45 mins walking outside will do for the outdoor workout? And for the diet, I m actually doing intermittent fasting. If I m not wrong, That will also work. Isn’t it?
@@tanatom11 you are right on that. A lot of people treat their outdoor workout as a walk, but it’s up to you. Some will do a jog/walk combination or some do a full workout. It all depends on how you feel that day.
Intermittent fasting technically works, since the rules of “follow a diet” are open ended. It comes down to integrity of your eating. In other words, I’ve seen guys do intermittent fasting and have a lot of cookies during their feeding window. Is that following a diet? Some could say yes, some could say no. I lean on the side of no since Andy does mention that you shouldn’t be eating junk food in your diet on the program, but following any diet will suffice. I.e. intermittent fasting, counting macros, etc. But again, the dietary component is so open ended, people will always have their own interpretation of it.
@@NickTShelton thank you for such detailed explanation. I will get into this challenge. I will be intermittent fasting, but with healthy alternatives. 75 hard just popped out of no where in my page. I guess it was a sign 😊
@@tanatom11 no problem - I have a full playlist on my channel all about 75 hard and what to expect. Traveling, the phases after 75 hard, etc. Check ‘em out if you need more help!
Great video! Please please please don't keep your protein that high long term though. 😭
On day 17 today and so motivated to finish!!!
Yeah! That’s what’s up! Keep going!
Dit is interessant. Ik heb over dit eens gehoord maar ik weet het niet of het voor mij is. Ik vraag me af waarom een mens heeft vindt dit niet leuk.
Did anyone have weird side effects from too much water? I’m always low on sodium because I cook at home. Any tips?
Good question, Diana. I’m not sure about others but I did not have any side effects from too much water. If anything, I’d just make sure to add electrolytes to your water. LMNT have great options for electrolytes. I’ve used them and really enjoy them!
dont be fearful to add in some salt and No-salt(potassium) into your water
It is super dangerous to drink this much water without adding in electrolytes. You can die from drinking too much water.
@@lydiadewberry7328 depends on many different factors. Body weight, activity level, underlying health issues, etc. Yes, theoretically, you “could” experience major complications, possibly death by drinking this much water. If this is a program you choose to do, consult a physician if you are concerned.
I am not a medical professional. I did not create the program. I just like the program.
Why RP over my fitness app though?
Did you have my fitness premium?
It worked well for me. Meal timing and weekly adjustments were 2 things I enjoyed and utilized from the app.
Nope, did not have my fitness premium so cannot give an opinion on it. I’m sure it has some great things about it as well.
@@NickTShelton oh true. Well I only use it for tracking macros so I guess I'll stick to my fitness.
I actually got the premium for free lol. You can download it on browser 🤫
Also I meant to say a good recommendation is for people to add things into their 75 hard.
Like for me it was no coffee and no Facebook. And no simple carbs like rice and non- ezikiel bread
These results really make me want to give this a try! Did you notice a day/week in particular that was the hardest in terms of really wanting to throw in the towel?
You should try, you won’t regret it! Great question. Actually, around the middle was the toughest for me. Day 1-28, motivation is still going. Day 29-50, you’re in the thick of it. Day 51-75, you start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. At least that’s how it went for me. Hope that helps!
@@NickTShelton It does - thanks!
You the best, want to be youtube friends?
K4
I need an accountability buddy???
It helps! In the end, if ya can’t find anyone, gotta go alone my friend! You got it.
New to the channel. Why are you laying on the floor?
It’s a wall, buddy.
@@NickTShelton LOL! I know it was joke. Take care and good luck with your channel.
Haha, you would not believe that a guy said the same thing to me just a couple weeks ago but he was so convinced I was on the floor. He was completely convinced. 😂 you just never know lol
You lost me at “it’s not all calories in and calories out.” Which it is 100%. You ate clean and basically stayed at maintenance calories halfway through. 95% of fitness is eating.
For a composition approach you can get by with it, not from a mental clarity or mental performance approach. I don’t care to look good if I feel like I can’t perform optimally in all other aspects. You can eat only garbage and hit your macros, yes, but don’t expect to perform at your highest level mentally or even physically doing that. Talking about 2 different approaches/goals with the comment.
