Welcome to Episode #150! Today I'm going to be talking about #75HARD. A little over 3 months ago I randomly came across a podcast, Episode #290 of The MFCEO Project by Andy Frisella: A 75 Day Guide To Winning The War With Yourself. In it he launched his program, #75HARD, which has now become a worldwide movement.
I decided shortly after listening to this episode to start the programme myself. There was just something about Andy's energy, his message that resonated with me. A little under 3 months later I've completed it. A massive thank you to everyone who's supported me on this journey, and especially to those who have joined me on #75HARD.
The program was a mental endurance challenge - with physical benefits.
I completed:
๐๐ป 150
workouts in 75 days
๐๐ป 75
days of Keto - which I hated - with zero cheat meals
๐๐ป 75
days without alcohol
๐๐ป 75
gallons of water drunk
๐๐ป 750
pages of entrepreneurial/self help books read
๐๐ป Progress pic taken each
day
Results:
๐ Resting
heart rate: Down from 66 to 50
๐๏ธโโ๏ธ Body
Fat: Down 7% from 24.7 to 17.7%
๐ฉWeight: Down
1.5 Stones from 12:12 to 11:7
๐คธ๐ปโโ๏ธEnergy:
Off the chart. Simply donโt get tired anymore. No post
lunch-induced coma at work
๐งโโ๏ธSkin:
Clear complexion:Not red or blotchy anymore
๐Reached the
#1 goal I set for myself in 2019 - getting a #1 ranked podcast in
iTunes
Observations:
๐๐ปDream
bigger & set bigger goals - when I started this challenge my aim
was to merely finish & lose a stone. If I realised what I was
actually capable of, I would have set far bigger Smart goals.
๐๐ปIโve gotten
this far in life with using only a fraction of my potential
๐๐ปI am 100%
in control of my success & failure - in anything I choose
๐๐ปIโm
actually mentally tougher than I thought
๐๐ปThe harder
things are, the more Iโve learnt to embrace them & actually enjoy
them
๐๐ปItโs
nothing to do with proving anything to anyone. Itโs all about
proving the voice in my head is wrong.
๐๐ปIโve been
physically more tired than Iโve ever been, but the most mentally
awake & focused
Two things I found out I love:
๐โโ๏ธ
Running - against other people & the clock. Developed an addiction
to Poole parkrun, started 6 weeks ago & so far knocked 8 minutes+
off my PB
๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธYoga -
with no other people & no clock! Especially The Strength Temple

Regrets?
๐Only that
I wish Iโd dreamt bigger & set bigger goals to achieve.
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Wish
Iโd had more than the 1 sports massage my wife Carly Chisnall
kindly booked me, as I battled, at times, excruciating lower back
pain
What next?
There is a next! Iโll be releasing a podcast about it this
