The 5 rules of 75 Hard

75 Hard is a 75-day program created by Andy Frisella. You keep all five rules every day for 75 days in a row. No rest days. No partial credit.

These are the rules as they are usually stated, and the ones this tracker checks:

  • Two workouts of at least 45 minutes each, as separate sessions. One of them must be outdoors.
  • Follow the diet you chose, with no cheat meals and no alcohol.
  • Drink one US gallon of water, about 3.8 litres or 128 oz.
  • Read 10 pages of a non-fiction or self-improvement book. Audiobooks do not count.
  • Take a progress photo.

How to use this tracker

Pick your start date and the tracker builds a 75-day grid from it. Through the day, log both workouts and mark the outdoor one, add water as you drink it, enter the pages you read, and tick the diet and the photo. A day turns complete only when all five are done.

The grid doubles as a 75 Hard calendar. Every square is a dated day, so a missed one shows exactly where it happened, and your streak counts complete days in a row. There is no app to install and no sign-up: progress is saved in this browser, and the photo stays on your device.

Check the page at lunchtime, not only at night. Water and the second workout are the two rules you cannot rescue at 10pm, and 128 oz in the last three hours of the day is a bad idea.

Printable 75 Hard checklist (PDF)

Prefer paper? Print the tracker for a checklist with a box for each rule on each day, or choose Save as PDF in your browser's print window to keep a file. Put it where you will see it in the morning, not in a drawer.

Paper has one weakness for a challenge this strict. It cannot tell you that day 31 was only four rules out of five, and a half-ticked row is easy to skim past. If you print, never tick a box you are unsure about. A blank box is the honest answer.

What happens if you miss a day?

You start again at day 1. That is the core rule of 75 Hard, and it covers every rule: 9 pages instead of 10, one workout instead of two, or a forgotten photo all count as a missed day.

The tracker follows that rule, and you cannot switch it off. If yesterday is not complete, you have until the end of today to fill in anything you did but forgot to log. Older days are locked. After that the run ends, it goes into your history, and the next attempt starts at day 1.

So log what happened, not what you meant to do. A restart costs days. A tracker you have quietly edited costs you the reason you started.

75 Hard vs 75 Soft vs 75 Medium

75 Soft is a gentler community version with no single owner. The common rules: one 45-minute workout a day with one active recovery day a week, eat well and drink alcohol only on social occasions, 3 litres of water, and 10 pages of any book. There is no progress photo, and most versions let you carry on after a missed day.

75 Medium sits between the two. It keeps 75 Soft's single workout, weekly rest day, water and reading, and adds a diet with no alcohol. Most versions make the progress photo optional.

Pick 75 Hard if you want rules with no judgement calls and you have the time. Two 45-minute sessions are at least 90 minutes of training a day, plus changing and getting outside, for 75 days straight. That time is the real cost. If it does not fit your weeks, start with 75 Soft or 75 Medium. Both have their own tracker on this site.

Track 75 Hard

  1. Write down your diet and pick day 1

    Decide the diet before you start, with no cheat meals and no alcohol. The tracker builds the 75-day grid from your start date.

  2. Log each rule as you go

    Add both workouts and mark the outdoor one, add water, enter pages read, and tick the diet and the photo.

  3. Check the grid before bed

    A day counts only when all five rules are done. You can still fill in yesterday until the end of today.

  4. Start again at day 1 after a miss

    The tracker ends the run and keeps it in your history. The next attempt starts from day 1.

Questions people ask

Do walks count as a workout in 75 Hard?

The rules ask for two 45-minute workouts and do not set an intensity, so many people use a brisk walk, often as the outdoor session. A slow stroll is a weaker case. Decide what counts for you before day 1 and keep to it for all 75 days.

Do the two workouts need to be 3 hours apart?

Some versions of the rules add a 3-hour gap between the two workouts. This tracker does not require it: it asks for two separate sessions of at least 45 minutes, one of them outdoors. If you follow the 3-hour version, hold yourself to it.

What counts as a diet in 75 Hard?

Any eating plan you choose, as long as it has clear rules and you follow it every day with no cheat meals and no alcohol. It can be a calorie target, a way of eating such as vegetarian, or a list of foods you cut out. Write it down before day 1, so you are not deciding on day 20 whether a snack counted.

Is 75 Hard unhealthy?

It depends on the person. For many healthy adults each rule is ordinary on its own. The load comes from the mix: two workouts a day with no rest day for 75 days, and a gallon of water a day, which is a lot for a smaller person. Drinking a lot of water in a short time can be harmful, so spread it through the day. A strict diet rule can also be a bad fit for anyone with a history of disordered eating. Talk to a doctor before you start, especially about the water and the two workouts.

Can you lose 20 pounds in 75 days?

Some people do, and many do not. 75 Hard has no calorie target, so any weight change depends on the diet you choose, where you start and your body. This tracker does not record weight and makes no promise about it. If weight loss is the goal, ask a doctor or dietitian what a safe rate is for you.

What if I did everything but forgot to log it?

You can fill in yesterday until the end of today. Days before that are locked, so a day left incomplete for longer ends the run and you start again at day 1.

Is this tracker free, and where is my progress saved?

It is free, with no sign-up. Without an account, progress is saved in this browser on this device, so clearing your browser data clears it. A free account keeps it on any device, and you can print the checklist for a paper copy.

Start with three habits and one month.

You will know by the end of it whether this is the tracker that sticks. That is a shorter test than most things you have tried.
