  • Is this the internet's toughest fitness challenge? What happened when I tried it - This brutal 11-week fitness challenge has taken over the internet. But critics have called it "ridiculous", and "dangerous".

The article from MSN discusses the 75 Hard Challenge, a rigorous fitness program created by entrepreneur Andy Frisella, which has gained significant attention online for its extreme demands. The challenge requires participants to follow a strict regimen for 75 days without any breaks or substitutions: two 45-minute workouts daily (one must be outdoors), adhere to a diet of their choice without any cheat meals, drink a gallon of water daily, read 10 pages of a non-fiction book, and take a progress photo each day. The author of the article attempted this challenge and shares their experience, highlighting the physical and mental toll it took, including the difficulty in maintaining the diet, the time commitment, and the psychological pressure of not missing a single day. Despite the hardships, the author notes some benefits like increased discipline, better fitness levels, and a sense of accomplishment. However, the challenge's inflexibility and the potential for injury or burnout are criticized, suggesting that while it can be transformative, it might not be suitable for everyone due to its all-or-nothing approach.
