28-Days-to-Lean Meal Plan

With the right strategy and discipline, serious physical transformation is achievable in just 28 days.

Priscilla Block is a force not easily slowed—particularly on her running days. Keeping pace with the “He’s My Man” singer’s 7 a.m. commitment to logging miles is as challenging as navigating her densely packed schedule: a 33-city headlining tour, back-to-back media appearances, and now, at 30, an unwavering focus on expanding her fitness routine. This priority now rivals the significance of any future chart-topping hits from her latest album, Things You Didn’t See—a stark shift for an artist once reluctant to break a sweat offstage.

“Recently, I had hair and makeup at 9 a.m., so I woke up at 7 to run two miles,” Block shares. “If you’d told ‘Little Priscilla’ she’d do that, I’d have said it was impossible.”

Block, a country fan favorite known for unapologetic anthems like the platinum-certified “Just About Over You,” has long projected confidence to her loyal fanbase. Yet she admits that prior to last year, she had deprioritized her wellness since moving from Raleigh, NC, to Nashville at 17. To sustain her positivity and career success, she realized fitness could no longer take a backseat.

“The past year wasn’t my biggest career year—but it was my biggest ‘me’ year,” she says proudly. “I decided to focus on myself and my health. I wanted to be the strongest I’ve ever been, and leading up to this record, I’m thrilled I committed to that journey.”

Spearheading this transformation was her decision to fully embrace the 75 Hard challenge—a rigorous self-empowerment program founded by fitness entrepreneur Andy Frisella that demands 75 days of unwavering dedication to training, nutrition, and mental growth. Block has completed the program twice, including a visit to Frisella’s 1st Phorm facilities in St. Louis for a personalized body scan and training analysis. Her second attempt at 75 Hard catalyzed lasting routine changes—most notably, her newfound love of running.

“Proving to yourself you can do hard things is powerful,” Block says. “There are a million excuses to quit, but with challenges like 75 Hard, finishing and thinking, ‘I just did that’ is invigorating.”

The results are evident in her stage presence: Block now performs with greater energy and intentionality, a direct outcome of her refined mental approach to fitness. “Every decision I make, I ask: What would a healthy person do?” she explains.

While proud of her progress, Block downplays her physical transformation. “I’ve always been confident—even the version of me two years ago. When I see old videos, I think, ‘Get it, girl.’”

Taking action required deep self-reflection. Despite her outward positivity, Block faced internal struggle: fatigue began to manifest, culminating in a breaking point during a trip to New Zealand.

“I was on the beach crying—exhausted, sick, emotionally overwhelmed,” she recalls. “I thought, I don’t feel like myself. I don’t feel like the confident person people see.”

Returning to Nashville, she prioritized her health. “I’d poured everything into fans and shows but neglected myself for too long,” she says.

For Block, progress is measured not by the scale, but by her onstage performance. “It’s about feeling good. I could gain 10 pounds and not care—my focus is on delivering,” she notes.

Success now means morning runs, resisting pre-show drinks (a former ritual), and sustaining energy for her Things You Didn’t See tour, which launched Oct. 23 in Fort Myers, FL. “I’m not just a singer with a guitar—I’m running across the stage. I want to be the best performer anyone’s seen,” she says. “Running and singing while maintaining energy isn’t easy, but this health journey is about being my best every day.”

Before her latest fitness endeavor, Block had already completed 75 Hard once. A transformative visit to 1st Phorm’s St. Louis headquarters—where she underwent a comprehensive body scan and received personalized training guidance—motivated her second attempt.

“Leaving there, I was inspired by their mission,” she recalls. This session, paired with her boyfriend’s partnership, fueled her second 75 Hard journey.

“Having my boyfriend do it with me—someone to support and hold me accountable—was incredible,” Block says. “I also shared my progress online, so a community followed along with my journey.”

To complete 75 Hard, participants must adhere to a strict diet (no cheat meals or alcohol), drink one gallon of water daily, complete two 45-minute workouts (one outdoors, regardless of weather), read 10 pages of nonfiction self-improvement daily, and take a daily progress photo.

“It was intense,” Block admits. “I’d done it before, so I felt prepared, but it’s still hard—life is hard.”

After three months of rigorous adherence, Block emerged stronger, more focused, and far more energized. Physical tasks became easier, and her stage performance reflects this shift.

“Waking up with energy is game-changing,” she says. “For so long, I felt like a robot, just going through the motions. Now, I wake up and feel like I can take on anything.”

Block shared both successes and struggles during her 75 Hard journey—and found purpose in motivating others. “The number of people who messaged me saying, ‘I did 75 Hard because of you—I’m taking control of my health’—that’s why I do this,” she says.

Post-75 Hard, Block completed her first 5K last Christmas and plans to run more. This is a radical shift from her younger self, who avoided gym class to skip running.

“I used to fake sick to get out of the mile in middle and high school—I was terrified of being made fun of,” she admits. Now? “I finally get the ‘runner’s high.’ I feel like I can conquer the world.”

Her bandmates have become key supporters, joining her for workouts on tour. “Gyms reach out to us on the road, inviting the band and crew to join classes,” Block says. “They see me prioritizing fitness and want to be part of it—it’s awesome.”

While she’s scaled back from 75 Hard’s twice-daily workouts, Block still makes time for the gym. Her nutrition remains meticulously curated—rich in protein, centered on whole, unprocessed foods—and she’s eliminated pre-show alcohol, a former crutch.

“I used to drink before every show,” she says. “Over the past year, I wanted to prove I could deliver a great performance sober—and I can.”

Block also prioritizes rest, often heading to bed early while her band hangs out. “Sleep helps me perform better, sound better, and feel better,” she explains. “It’s an investment in my best self.”

For Block, fitness isn’t just about physical change—it’s about mental resilience and showing up fully for her fans, her music, and herself. “This journey is about being the best performer I can be,” she says. “And that starts with being healthy.”
