New 75 Soft trend: Sustainably achieving 2026 wellness goals
With the recent 75 Hard wellness trend sweeping social media, some individuals are opting for a milder version known as 75 Soft.
The 75 Hard trend was designed to help individuals adhere to a rigorous lifestyle program involving eating a healthy diet, drinking one gallon of water, removing unhealthy foods and alcohol from the diet, exercising for 45 minutes twice and reading at least 10 pages of nonfiction each day for 75 days, according to a news article from USA Today. However, because of its difficulty and strictness, many individuals have difficulty keeping up with the lifestyle changes.
For those who want to take a more moderate approach to wellness in 2026, the 75 Soft trend calls on individuals to eat a healthy diet, restrict alcohol consumption to social occasions, partake in 45 minutes of exercise per day, read 10 pages of any book and take one day to recover per week for the same 75-day period.
Social media users pushing the trend hope the 75 Soft routine can help limit burnout and mental fatigue, minimize overuse injury and keep individuals engaged in a healthy lifestyle for longer — especially those who are feeling depleted, have demanding lives or are short on time.
