The 75 Medium Challenge: the middle ground that actually works

Too structured for 75 Soft, not ready to restart your life for 75 Hard? 75 Medium keeps the discipline and loses the extremes. Here are the rules and how to track them.

What is the 75 Medium challenge?

75 Medium is the compromise the internet invented after watching everyone either quit 75 Hard or find 75 Soft too loose. You keep a real daily workout, a mostly-clean diet and the daily progress photo, but you get flex meals, any book you like, and — crucially — no restart-from-zero rule.

The 75 Medium rules

Who is 75 Medium for?

It's the sweet spot if you already train a few times a week and want structure that stretches you without owning your calendar. One workout a day is demanding but doable; the flex meals mean birthdays and date nights don't wreck the challenge. If you're comparing all three tiers, see 75 Soft vs 75 Hard — Medium borrows the best of both.

How to track 75 Medium in Slay 75

1. Pick "75 Medium" from Slay 75's ready-made challenges — the five rules above come pre-loaded as your daily checklist.
2. Snap your progress photo in-app. Attach it to the task and it's checked off and saved to your day automatically.
3. Track your flex meals honestly. Edit the diet task's wording if your version differs — every task in Slay 75 is editable.
4. Watch your completion rates. Your profile shows a percentage for every goal, so you know if reading is your weak spot before it becomes a habit of skipping.
5. Bring a friend. Doing the challenge with friends roughly doubles your odds of finishing — invite them with a link and keep each other honest.

75 Medium results to expect

Seventy-five days of daily training, mostly-clean eating and reading adds up: most finishers report visible body composition change, a reading habit that survives the challenge, and — the underrated one — proof to themselves that they follow through. That's the real product.
