My guide to 75 Hard is HERE! Flip through what I have compiled here to give you my rips and tricks on SUCESSFULLY COMPLETING 75 HARD. Read below for my personal 75 Hard story! .......................................................
☆When I chose to start 75 hard, I had just found out I was pregnant and wanted a way to stay healthy during my new journey in life! Not drinking alcohol was the easiest part of 75 Hard for me, and then the outdoor workouts really played a part in knocking out nausea and other early symptoms I had in my first trimester. I was cleared by my doctor to follow 75 Hard (please consult with your doctor before starting this, just like any other physical activity you would ask them about) and was so glad to have this as an outline to stay focused on something besides what I was feeling at that point.
I focused on exercises I could handle to do daily, switched it up so I stayed safe didn't get burnt out and didn't challenge myself beyond what I knew was realistically possible, for example, instead of going crazy and trying to powerlift for 45 minutes and run outdoors for 45 minutes each day, I chose to take some days lighter, and some days harder. If I couldn't handle a weighted workout for my indoor time, I would choose a lighter option like Piyo, Yoga or even just stretching out muscles that were sore from the previous day. Most outdoor workouts were simple 45 minute walks with my dogs, my husband or a friend unless I felt like running. This helped me have an easier time completing this challenge and didn't overwhelm myself in any way. Due to being pregnant, I didn't follow a specific "diet" because I didn't think cutting out anything completely was a smart choice for my body at the time. Instead, I really honed into my nutrition and started challenging myself to make the best and healthiest choices whenever possible. Water was easy to get down once I found a fun bottle to use that I wouldn't forget about. Reading was simple when baby books were the new and exciting thing in our house!
