75 Medium Challenge Tracker

Six daily tasks for 75 days, passed at 90% — so seven missed days is the whole allowance. A day you leave alone is counted missed at midnight either way. The counter shows exactly how many you can still afford to lose, which is how you find out on day nine that the back half has to be near perfect.

The pact

Start 75 Medium

Six tasks a day for 75 days. Hold 68 of them and you have passed — that is the 90% rule, and it is the whole difference.

The method

How the compliance budget works

Six tasks a day for 75 days, and one number that neither 75 Hard nor 75 Soft has: a budget. The pass mark is 90%, so the allowance is the whole run times a tenth, rounded down — floor(75 × 0.1) = seven missed days. Spend the eighth and the run has failed on its own terms, without a restart and without the run pretending otherwise.

The six tasks are a 45-minute workout indoors or out, the diet you named at the start, a gallon of water, ten pages with audiobooks allowed, a progress photo, and seven hours in bed. A day closes when all six are ticked.

The day you are on is the days between your start date and today plus one, capped at 75, so your start date is Day 1. Then the part that makes the budget real: every elapsed day you left alone is written down as missed. Not on the day, not by asking you — at midnight, automatically, when the page next loads. A day nobody answered is a missed day, because the alternative is a tracker where forgetting is free.

The counter shows days held, days missed and days of budget left. Seven across 75 sounds generous and the arithmetic is what makes it feel otherwise: three gone in the first fortnight to ordinary life leaves the back half needing to be nearly perfect, and the point of putting the number on screen is that you see that on day nine rather than day fifty.

75 Medium is a community variant, so the six tasks and the 90% threshold are the commonly published reading rather than a specification anybody owns. The 90% is the number the variant is named around; the rounding-down is ours, and it is the strict direction.

Unbroken counts days. It does not measure anything about your body, and nothing above is medical, nutritional or fitness advice. Where a number here is our own judgement rather than a published figure, the note says so and cites nothing. Method last checked 21 August 2026.

What the 90% rule actually buys you

Seven missed days across 75 sounds generous until you watch the budget spend itself. Most people lose three in the first fortnight to ordinary life — a late flight, a stomach bug, a wedding — and then discover the back half has to be nearly perfect. The counter above exists to make that arithmetic visible on day nine instead of day fifty.

It also settles the argument 75 Medium was invented to have. 75 Hard treats one miss as the end of everything, which is why so few finish. 75 Soft removes the penalty, which is why some runs quietly dissolve. A compliance budget keeps a real cost on a missed day without letting one bad Tuesday erase two good months.

The questions

Frequently asked questions

What are the 75 Medium challenge rules?

The common ruleset is: one 45-minute workout a day, your chosen diet followed with 90% compliance, a gallon of water, 10 pages read, a daily progress photo, and seven or more hours in bed. It runs 75 days.

What is the 90% rule?

75 Medium is passed on compliance rather than perfection: complete roughly 68 of the 75 days and the challenge counts as finished. This tracker turns that into a live number so you always know how many misses are left.

How is 75 Medium different from 75 Hard and 75 Soft?

75 Hard demands six tasks with a full restart on any miss. 75 Soft cuts to four tasks with a weekly rest day and no restart. 75 Medium keeps the six-task weight of Hard but replaces the restart with a 90% pass mark — the hardest of the three that still forgives a bad week.

Can I choose my own diet?

Yes. 75 Medium deliberately leaves the diet to you — keto, vegan, macro counting, or simply no junk. You pick it at the start, name it, and hold it to 90%.

What happens when I run out of allowed misses?

The tracker switches the counter to zero and tells you every remaining day has to land. Nothing is deleted — you can see exactly which days went and decide whether to restart clean.
