The 75-day challenge to lose weight and get in shape has gone viral on social media. But it requires iron discipline and a lot of will… Good news, a softer version of this challenge has just appeared and it allows you to achieve your goals in a more reasonable way.
We all want to have a slender figure and get rid of extra pounds, without it taking too long otherwise we quickly become demotivated… The only way to achieve this quickly, however, is to challenge yourself by radically changing your lifestyle. It is undoubtedly for this reason that the “75 Hard Challenge“, which means word for word “the hard challenge to do in 75 days” is so successful. But perhaps you have missed this wellness trend which has been a real hit on the web since 2024… We will explain to you here what this challenge consists of and perhaps you will have the courage to take on this challenge! Please note, you must do this non-stop for 75 days. If you make a deviation, you have to start from scratch.

But if you find it too difficult, know that there is now a variation of this fitness program called “75 soft Challenge“, which is the gentle version of this health challenge. And we will detail the nuances of this soft challenge!
The “75 Hard Challenge” in detail
The program has 5 steps :
- A healthy, alcohol-free diet
It’s about doing healthy meals, without saturated fats and without any refined sugar. We must therefore ban all industrial and processed foods. It therefore becomes necessary to cook to eat fresh products. Another important point: alcohol is prohibited.
- A sports session twice a day
Yes, you read correctly, it is obligatory to exercise twice a dayand not just three times a week… And you have to do it for 45 minutes, knowing that one of the two sessions must take place outside. Walking, swimming, dancing, Pilates, yoga… All sports are allowed!
- 4 liters of water to drink every day
This may seem like a lot, but we inevitably feel more thirsty due to the increase in physical activity.

- 10 pages to read per day
And yes, it’s not about losing weight in the brain but also about nourishing it by reading! But not just any book, you have to educate yourself and not just entertain yourself, so novels are excluded, and audio books are prohibited too. We favor personal development books, philosophical essays, history books, etc. Studies show that learning something new improves fitness and health.
- Take photos every day, without exception
So you can see your progress in real time and you can notice the increase in your muscle masswhich is not necessarily seen on the scale…

The new, softer version of this challenge
The “75 soft challenge” suggests that you follow a slightly less strict program which is intended to be more feasible for people who cannot follow the original version of this challenge.
Here are the main differences:
- Alcohol is not prohibited but limited
You should follow the same healthy and balanced diet, trying to avoid as much as possible alcohol, which is permitted in small quantities, preferably in society
- Softer training
You should only exercise 45 minutes a day (not two) and we are entitled to one day of rest per week. However, it is obligatory to do outdoor exercise at least once a week, which helps avoid days when it rains (unlike the “hard” version).
- 3 liters of water to drink every day instead of 4

- More freedom in choosing daily reading
In this soft version of “75 challenge“, we have the right to read novels! The main thing is to read 10 pages every day to keep your brain active.
