TikTok 75 Hard workout craze divides opinion between trainers

More and more people use Tiktok to record 75 days of workouts, but one personal trainer says that they have never been one million years.

It may be difficult to return to everyday life in January, but the trend of online fitness- This includes 45 minutes training twice And drinking 4.5 liters of water every day gave a new meaning to the new year’s determination.

Loretta Davis, 47, a mother of two children, said that it was not suitable for women with a busy family life, and could affect menstrual cycle and menopause.

However, Cardiff’s based coach said that this challenge had a spring left on his steps, and said that people should not knock until they tried.

If you have never seen a hashtag #75 Hard in social media, the Viral Challenge is a series of basic rules that people must obey for 75 consecutive days, and many people choose January as the starting time. Masu.

These rules include cutting alcohol, sticking to systematic diets, and doing 45 minutes training twice, not once, and one of them must be done outdoors every day. 。

To add to the list, the participants need to drink 1 gallon water every day, read at least 10 pages of non -fiction, and take pictures of daily progress.

If you do not meet the rules, you need to start over from the beginning.

“Rome is not a day and has a healthy habit,” says Davis, who has been active as a personal trainer for five years.

She stated that it is impossible for many people to follow the rules, such as performing 45 minutes training twice a day, and there is a risk that they will burn out both physically and mentally. 。

She thought that this task was not flexible and added, “Some people go to work at 6 am and return home for promises.”

The 75 hardware created by the entrepreneur Andy Fricera in 2019 is not a fitness challenge but a “transformed mental toughness program.”

Mr. Fricela’s website advises to determine whether it is suitable for individual needs, before starting a 75 hard and other fitness programs.

Davis thinks that it is necessary to consider the menstrual cycle and menopause.

“Women’s estrogen levels decrease every month, but it’s not a uniform approach because men’s testosterone levels do not change,” she says.

Davis instead recommends people to be kind to themselves during January.

“I’m a very active person, but it took me about five days to return due to menopause, but there’s no problem,” she said.

Davis also said that her body, 5 feet (1.52 meters), about 8 stones (50.8 kg), is too much of one gallon (4.5 liters) water.

The NHS website recommends consuming about 6 to 8 glasses (2 liters) every day. This is half of Gallon’s guidelines set in 75 hardware.

Harry Patel, who approached the middle point of the challenge, rode in this trend in January and said that he needed to be diligent when he started, despite his positive experience.

Already an active person, 41, completed a week in November to help prepare and did not start challenging until January 5 to avoid failure.

“If you resemble them, you can achieve them,” said Patel, “I think it’s a gradual process. I’m just going to run a marathon. This is the same. It also applies to the challenge. “

Patel said that the discontinuation was the driving force of the start, and the discipline required for this challenge brought him to extreme concentration.

However, healthy fitness coach Wayne Ironson completed 75 hardware in May 2024, and everyone can achieve this program, and many of his clients have started their own training in January. I praised it.

A 41 -year -old father from Cardiff said that despite the fact that he had refrained at first, there was a spring on the steps and felt a sense of accomplishment.

“The point of 75 hardware is the way of thinking. Everything is to improve thinking,” said Ianson.

“Working in the gym is like working in the office, and most of the day is there, so you may have claustrophobia.

“When I follow the rules, I had to go outside and take a walk at the end of the day.”

Ianson said he woke up at 4:00 am to cope with the demands associated with work and family life, and was picking up his son to school and swimming classes.

As a health coach, Ianson believes that this challenge is suitable for everyone, but may need to make more plans according to the menstrual cycle of women.

“It sounded difficult, and at first I struggled a little mentally, but the exercise can be a two -time walk, yoga, swimming, or home training. It doesn’t have to be intense. It can move more. All, “he said. 。

“As a personal trainer, I don’t really like dieting, but I ate healthy alternatives, such as potato chips and pancakes. I still practice those simple replacements. “

He said that the weight loss was not the goal for Ianson, but he lost 3 kg in 75 days, reduced his bloating, increased vitality, and improved muscle mass.

“And it’s definitely thankful for the beer,” he added.

Medical experts advises them to consult with the attending physician before doing physical activity for those who have existing medical conditions or may have not exercised for a while.

It is also recommended that the activity and its strength are suitable for personal fitness.
