The Live Hard program begins with the 75 Hard Challenge, and then is proceeded by Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3. Phase 3 needs to begin exactly 30 days before the year anniversary of the 75 Hard Challenge so that the whole challenge takes place in one year. The time has come for me as I have completed the 75 Hard, Phase 1, and Phase 2. Today is day one of Phase 3. Each phase is super difficult, and yet this is one has me worried.
The daily tasks for the fourth section of the Live Hard Challenge (also known as Phase 3):
Two 45 minute workouts (one must be outside)
Take a progress photo
10 pages of reading non-fiction (not an audiobook)
Drink 1 gallon of water
Follow a diet
No cheat meals or alcohol
5 minute cold shower
3 additional tasks of choice
Conversation with a stranger
Random act of kindness
With any other phase, if you make a mistake on one task or miss it, you must start over. With Phase 3, if you make a mistake that is it. The whole year has to be started over. This makes me a little nervous. Also, having a conversation with a stranger every day seems almost impossible. Almost. Then there are the cold showers. They are absolute torture. I had to have them in phase 1 and yet that was when it was hot outside. The water from this morning’s shower felt freezing. With that being said, I have felt such improvements doing the sections that I have so far. I also don’t want to get this far, and then not finish the last phase. So . . .
Let’s GO!
