The 6 rules
- Read 10+ pages of scripture or a Christian discipleship book daily. Eyes on the page.
- Two 45-minute workouts, one outdoors. No exceptions for weather.
- Pick a clean eating plan and don't deviate. No alcohol. No cheat meals.
- One gallon of water.
- 15+ minutes of focused prayer. Not while driving.
- Daily progress photo.
Miss any task — even one — and you restart at day one.
The Christian additions in detail
Scripture and prayer aren't bolted on; they're the center. The original 75 Hard is mental toughness. The Christian version is discipleship using mental toughness as the framing. Pair this checklist with the Spiritual Fast guide and a weekly 24-hour fast for the full rhythm.

Six rules: read 10 pages of scripture or Christian content, two 45-minute workouts (one outdoors), clean eating with no alcohol, one gallon of water, 15 minutes of focused prayer, and a daily progress photo. Miss any task and you restart day one.
Yes. The Christian version makes scripture (or solid Christian discipleship content) the daily reading floor. Devotionals shorter than 10 pages don't count; pair them with another book.
No. The discipline is intentional, eyes-on-the-page reading. Audiobooks are great — they just don't count toward the 10-page rule.
Yes. That's the point. The restart rule is what makes the discipline real — there's no negotiating with day 1.
Pick one (whole foods, paleo, Mediterranean, plant-based, Daniel Fast) and don't deviate for 75 days. No alcohol, no cheat meals. The plan you pick matters less than your refusal to negotiate with it.
