The 75 Hotter Challenge Explained: Rules, Origin, and How It Differs from 75 Hard
The two-sentence summary
The 75 Hotter Challenge is a 75-day women's wellness program created by Austin content creator Jade Brandt as a softer spin on Andy Frisella's 75 Hard. Seven daily rules focused on feminine wellness: cut toxic people, 10,000 "hot girl steps," prioritize protein, hydrate, read and clean before bed, call someone once a week, and drink alcohol socially only.
The 7 official 75 Hotter rules
- Cut toxic people. A 75-day social audit — reduce or eliminate relationships that drain you.
- 10,000 hot girl steps per day. Walking is the canonical 75 Hotter movement habit. No mandated workout.
- Prioritize protein. Hit a daily protein target (Brandt suggests ~0.8 g/lb body weight, but it's flexible).
- Drink enough water. No specific gallon target — drink "until your pee is light yellow" per Brandt's original rules.
- Read and clean before bed. A bedtime routine: tidy your space, then read for at least 10 minutes.
- Call someone once a week. A weekly social call (not text) with someone you love.
- Drink alcohol socially only. No drinking alone. Social-only alcohol for the full 75 days.
How 75 Hotter differs from 75 Hard
| Dimension | 75 Hotter | 75 Hard | |---|---|---| | Workouts | 10,000 steps | Two 45-min workouts | | Water | "Light yellow pee" | 1 gallon | | Food | Protein-focused | Pick a diet, no cheats | | Restart | None | Yes — full restart | | Origin | Jade Brandt (2024) | Andy Frisella (2020) | | Target | Women | General audience |
Who 75 Hotter is for
- Women who find 75 Hard rigid and 75 Soft too unstructured
- Walking-as-primary-movement athletes
- Women whose 75-day goal is identity and lifestyle, not body recomposition
- Anyone whose social environment needs a 75-day audit
How 75 Hotter compares to Her 75
Her 75 is a structured 75-day framework with three intensities ( 75 Soft, 75 Medium, and 75 Hard) tracked in the Reset 75 app. It has a five-rule scaffold (movement, water, reading, eating, photo) tuned by intensity.
75 Hotter is a single seven-rule framework with no intensity tiers and no official tracker app. Both are women-first, but Her 75 is more structured and trackable.
Can I track 75 Hotter in the Reset 75 app?
You can create a custom challenge inside Reset 75 with the seven 75 Hotter rules. The app doesn't have a "75 Hotter mode" preset, but it supports custom rule sets in 75-day blocks.
