Staying healthy is no easy task, and when we're all so busy with other life commitments, hitting the gym every single day can seem like an impossible mountain to climb.
But for those eager to take on a challenge and push themselves, there are people who have designed special routines that could help you get into better shape over a short period of time.
One of those challenges that became increasingly popular in the fitness world late last year is the 75 Hard challenge, which is designed for those who are already in good shape but want to push themselves even further.
As part of the challenge, participants must follow a set of rules for 75 days that include following a diet, exercising for 45 minutes twice a day, drinking a gallon of water every day, and reading 10 pages of a " personal development " non-fiction book.

The 75 Hard challenge seems extreme to the average person, which is why there's now a scaled-back version of the programme known as the 75 Soft challenge - that could see you completely transform your life over 75 days.
One woman taking on the 75 Soft challenge is Charlotte Rousé, who took to her TikTok account @charlotterouse_ to explain exactly what the challenge entails.
Using audio from someone else who tried the challenge, Charlotte's clip explained: "Today, I'm starting the 75 Soft challenge. It's like the 75 Hard but for people who don't have the time for two 45 minute workouts a day. Here are the rules:
"Eat well and only drink on social occasions.
"Train for 45 minutes every day for 75 days without a day off, plus one day for active recovery every week.
"Drink three litres of water a day, and read 10 pages of any book."
Charlotte has been posting regular updates of her progress since she started the challenge two weeks ago, and has said she's determined to "hold herself accountable" to make sure she completes the full 75 days.
And in the comments of her videos, the 21-year-old from the UK has been offering advice to others who might be looking to start the challenge themselves.
When one person asked what she does to stay active on her recovery days, she said: "So far I've done Pilates on a rest day because I wasn’t feeling well so needed something low impact."
And when someone else said drinking three litres of water was unnecessary, Charlotte replied: "No one said you need three litres. Nothing in this challenge you need to do, hence why it’s a challenge."
