75 Soft Challenge: challenge promises a healthy routine –

Social networks love challenges and one of the latest to go viral on TikTok it’s called the 75 Soft Challenge. If the name sounds familiar, it’s not without reason – this is a lighter version of the famous 75 Hard Challengewhich dominated social media videos last year.

Unlike the second option, however, the 75 Soft Challenge is not as extreme, and encourages participants to adopt life habits more balanced and change their routines according to some rules.

WHAT IS THE 75 SOFT CHALLENGE?

This is a slightly more accessible challenge for those looking for significant life changes – which is a great idea, considering we are in the start of a new year and the motivation is sky high!

The challenge went viral through tiktoker Stephen Gallagher (@StephenGFitness), which has grown on the social network with videos showing different types of workouts in a fun and motivating way.

For the challenge to really work, you have to follow four rules for 75 days:

eat well and consume alcohol only socially
Train every day for 45 minutes – one day of the week should be active rest
Drink it three liters of water per day
Read 10 pages of a book a day

75 SOFT X 75 HARD

And what is the difference between the two challenges? Well, for starters, the 75 Hard Challenge, developed by trainer and entrepreneur Andy Frisella has two daily workouts of 45 minutes each, a very strict diet, zero alcohol consumption, intake of almost 4 liters of water per day and reading 10 pages of a inspirational nonfiction book. Participants must also take a photo of their own body each day to record their progress.

The problem is that, because it has such strict rules – if you “fail” in one of the daily points, you have to start the entire challenge over again – 75 Hard is potentially dangerous, especially for people with tendencies towards obsessive or compulsive behaviors – even more so when the subject is food.

What’s more, 75 Hard claims to be a challenge that focuses on development of a mindset strong, but the idea of ​​taking daily body pictures sure makes people focus more on the physical than the mental aspect of the challenge.

On the other hand, the 75 Soft Challenge encourages participants to move their body every day, including active rests in your routine (such as a walk or a bike ride), consciously limiting alcohol consumption and setting the goal of “eating well”, a more comprehensive and less restrictive way of dealing with food.

That’s why this challenge, in question, can be a good idea for anyone looking to start a healthy routine, but don’t want to face extremism. worth looking for physical activities you enjoy and prioritize a balanced diet, which combines essential foods with those you like. How about the idea?
