75 HARD....want to join us?

 

Hello Everyone... This is an odd time of the year for this...right?   Well, yeah. But that is exactly why it's perfect.   I've been talking about 75 Hard since I heard Andy announce it on his podcast March 19th 2019: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/75hard-a-75-day-tactical-guide-for-winning-the/id1012570406?i=1000431268030  or https://open.spotify.com/episode/1tDHTAgvqC6BVeHL9Fedha?si=dqZ4h8uITVObeE2K7ne-0w    Since then I have helped dozens of people complete it! And now it's your turn, and you will get to do it with us ;-)    But 1st, do you know how this even got started, 75 Hard?   Then you have to go back to this episode on March 5th https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redefine-impossible-ft-james-lawrence-with-andy/id1012570406?i=1000431104452  or https://open.spotify.com/episode/353KiWx5htELOYupQsl4sl?si=Wa4JQ64yRtWN3LrGflFKDw    I know, I know lots of listening...you want to hurry up and get to the point. That's exactly why you need to do this, context matters.   So, on this episode (which I am re listening to right now). On this episode it was the IRON COWBOY! The Iron Cowboy is James Lawrence, and his quest to complete 50 long-distance triathlons in 50 consecutive days across all 50 states.   WOW! and he did, but this conversation was the inception of 75 HARD.  It's inspired Andy. Think about how Hard 50 long-distance triathlons in 50 consecutive days across all 50 states is. This is not that.   But, it is Hard. What you should think about is the mindset required not to workout for 50 days, but to wake up every morning for 50 mornings and go finish an Iron Man Triathlon EVERYDAY   So, 75 HARD is a Mental Toughness Challenge built around fitness, personal growth and commitment.   Here is what is involved: You have to follow a Diet – No one has the same goals, so your diet must support your goals...This is Something we can help with. Two Workouts per Day – 1 has to be outside and both have to be at least 45 minutes...This is Something we can help with. Drink 1 Gallon of Water per Day – Simple Read 10 Pager per Day – From a non-fiction book Take a Progress Picture Every Day – So you can see the progress at the end   SUPER SIMPLE RIGHT   They have a FREE APP you can use to track these 5 things here: https://44seven.app.link/sharing This is right from Andy's website: "I'm not in yet ... I'm still not sure because: I'll start when I am ready. That my friend, is your entire problem in life. You wait. You wait for the perfect time. You wait for the stars to align with Mercury in retrograde ... or something else crazy like that. The point is you wait ... and you don't do. Allow me to let you in on a little secret: There's never a perfect time. The stars never align. You'll never be ready. That's the point of 75 HARD ... to develop the toughness so that no matter what happens in your life, you have the mental fortitude to deal with it. So start ... execute.   What happens if I fail? It's simple, you start over on Day 1. I've had some say this rule can make people feel like a failure if they have to start over multiple times. Well ... here's the truth:   If you modify the program just to say you completed it, did you really succeed? No. That's the problem with your whole life ... you constantly modify your plans & goals so you can say you completed them. By doing that, you never achieve what you're actually capable of, and you'll end up feeling worse about yourself, because you know deep down you cheated.   You don't accomplish anything great by changing the rules in your favor just to check the box.   It seems like this would be difficult to sustain. EXACTLY! That's the point. You don't achieve what I'm talking about by doing the program for just a few days or a few weeks. I made this program 75 days, because that is how long it will take for you to develop these skills ... skills that will stick with you long after you've completed the program.   This isn't another temporary band-aid program that you're used to ... I'm talking about making PERMANENT & POSITIVE changes in the way you live your life.   I'm on the XYZ Diet Training Program, so I can't do 75 HARD. You my friend ... are wrong. You absolutely can do 75 HARD. I developed 75 HARD to run in-line with your current fitness program ... no matter what it is. I developed it to run in-line with your current diet program ... no matter what it is.   There's 2 workouts a day and I don't specify to you what to do there. So plug in the workout from your other program for one of the workouts. Then do another workout that day. Don't forget ... one of the 2 has to be outside. You have to follow a meal plan and again, I don't specify to you what to do there. So plug in a meal plan from any program for that." Lais and I are in.   Tomorrow is Thanksgiving   and Friday is Day 1 for YOU.   We have a Free Facebook group for everyone, we have used in the past: https://www.facebook.com/groups/757728851305519    Lais will start a Whatsapp group for daily accountability.   Why are Lais and I doing it? Simple, we have Goals and we want to lock in. On January 1st 2025 we will be on Day 35 of 75 Hard. Imagine finishing the year with that level of momentum? Imagine starting the year with the intention?   Most people quit their New Years resolutions on Week #2 of the new year, imagine walking into February with this kind of WIN?   WOW!   We just got off a goal setting call with Sophia, she is in. Lais is in, I'm in, Bri is in.   Are you in?   Let us know     Coach Rafael     PS...this is a great segway into the January Photoshoot. That is on January 18th. Goals, plans, purpose....Let's go people                                     -
