Intro: Alcohol is often a silent saboteur in the world of fitness — impacting sleep, recovery, hormone balance, hydration, and mental clarity. But what if just over four days without it could give you a noticeable edge?
This RB100 challenge invites you to go 100 hours alcohol-free — a focused reset to help you reconnect with your training goals and recover better.
Why 100 Hours?
100 hours (about 4 days + 4 hours) is enough time to:
- Stabilise hydration and electrolyte balance
- Improve sleep quality and REM cycles
- Reduce inflammation and improve recovery
- Notice energy level and mood improvements
What to Expect
- Day 1–2: Cravings or routine triggers (social, evening wind-down)
- Day 3: Clearer sleep patterns, more stable energy
- Day 4+: More focus during workouts, improved digestion, and mental clarity
Tools for Success
- Track it: use a countdown timer or habit tracker app

- Tell someone: accountability increases success
- Move more: exercise helps reduce alcohol cravings
Bonus: Use This Time To…
