75 Hard: Is the TikTok fitness challenge really worth it?

75 Hard is a viral fitness challenge that involves sticking to a strict diet, completing two 45-minute workouts daily, drinking over three litres of water, and reading 10 pages of a non-fiction book for 75 days. Participants like Devamsha Gunput and Sophie Deakins have seen lasting impacts on their exercise habits, diet, and mindset after completing the challenge.

More relaxed variations like 75 Soft and 75 Medium have emerged to offer a less strict approach to the challenge.
