    The presentation by me will indeed be short! ;)

    Actually however the reason for the topic was intended to be related to "new year resolutions" -- setting goals for ourselves and similar "ambitions"

    On the discussion theme of New Year's resolutions:

    "Having to exercise twice a day and be strict on my diet were really uncomfortable and new areas for me to tackle, because I hadn't had that conversation before," she says.

    But since completing the challenge, she's noticing the lasting impacts so far.

    "I exercise a lot more regularly, my reading habits and my relationship with food have transformed," she says.

    75 Hard: Is the TikTok fitness challenge really worth it?
    The challenge involves forgoing alcohol and unhealthy food for 75 days and doing multiple daily workouts.
