Mark Wahlberg went viral in 2018 after he shared his daily routine on social media, a packed schedule which includes a 2:30 a.m. wakeup call and two workouts, the first of which he starts at 4 in the morning. Since then, Wahlberg has kept his "4 a.m. club" going, encouraging his followers to start their day strong.
Wahlberg has previously shared how he wakes at 2:30am and squeezes in prayers and breakfast before working out at 4am. In the same interview with People, the actor explained the reason for his crack-of-dawn workout times is because with everything else he's doing, he'd struggle to fit a workout in later in the day.
The "Departed" actor revealed that these days, he wakes up at 3:30 a.m. and squeezes in gym and prayer time before starting "the process" of getting his kids up, which requires multiple trips "up and down the stairs."
After waking up at 2.30 am, he offers prayer till 2.45 am. He has breakfast at 3.15 am and starts working out at 3.40 am. He does exercises till 5.15 am and at around 5.30 am he has his post workout meal.
Since then, Wahlberg has kept his "4 a.m. club" going, encouraging his followers to start their day strong. But, as Wahlberg explains to Team MH, 4 a.m. is more a state of mind than a literal appointment time: the important thing is to ensure you're showing up and making the time to stick to your goals every day.
When Mark Wahlberg shared his daily routine in 2018, it made headlines for its intensity, including waking up at 2:30 a.m., two workouts, and cryotherapy. Four years on, the actor has somewhat relaxed his lifestyle, allowing himself to sleep until 3:30 a.m. or even 4 a.m., he said.
Mark Wahlberg is all about "me time." In fact, that's why the Uncharted actor starts his day well-before before dawn. "As long as I get my eight hours, I can do my thing," Mark exclusively told E! News correspondent Keltie Night at McClaren's F1 Vegas VISTA Experience.
And there's one type of coffee that appears to work best. Add coffee to Mark Wahlberg's infamous and intensive fitness regimen. The Transformers actor practices intermittent fasting, skipping food for 18 hours per day.
You may be thinking that a late-night workout will have you so energized you won't be able to slow down when it's time to go to sleep — but the opposite is actually true! According to The Washington Post, exercise helps you sleep deeper and longer, no matter what time of day you exercise.
“I was training five days a week. I'd start with benching, and then I'd do my squats and lunges, then I'd do a lot of old-school stuff. I'd literally do a row of machines at the Sports Club/LA.
"Normally with intermittent fasting I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'll eat at noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. for an eighteen hour fast and a six hour eating window," he said. "Usually eggs, protein pancakes, smoked salmon, a couple pork chops, a couple sausage links and protein with some almond butter for breakfast.
What time does Dwayne Johnson wake up in the morning?
On the other hand, Johnson revealed that he wakes up at 3:30 AM. But unlike Wahlberg, who used to get 7 hours of sleep after going to bed at 7:30 PM, the Black Adam star sacrificed two hours of sleep daily, claiming 3-5 hours of sleep was enough for him.
“Cardio days are tough for me,” Wahlberg admits. But he makes it a priority to get it done. “If I cut corners, then I can't be at my best,” he adds. “Everything that I've done, that I've been successful at, is done by doing the work.”
Andrew Tate kicks off his day by waking up at 9 o'clock, which might seem late to some, but it aligns perfectly with his schedule. The first thing he does upon rising is drink a substantial amount of water — a full 2 liters.
“Everyone wakes up multiple times per night,” says Wu. “It's very common for people to wake up around 2 or 3 a.m. because this is when our sleep architecture (the pattern of our sleep stage cycles throughout the night) naturally has a shift from more deep sleep to more REM sleep.
It could be 5am or 5:30 am. Some actors spend 3–4 hours in makeup if they are doing a fantasy or sci fi character. They might be called to the set from 6 am to 7am. They might get what is called a non-deductable breakfast.
He had chicken breasts, chicken thighs, a bowl of fruit, broccoli, and two handfuls of nuts. Then, in early afternoon, he has salmon sashimi, crab salad, cucumbers, and chicken breast. For dinner, he'll have steak, or maybe a fish like halibut or sea bass paired with a vegetable.
Chris Hemsworth tried a four-day fast for his show about aging, "Limitless." Some research suggests fasting can boost longevity, but there are downsides. Hemsworth's trainer, Luke Zocchi, described how he tested the star's willpower during the fast.
Mark Wahlberg is still very much a proud member of the 4 a.m. workout club, and he's got the abs to prove it. On Thursday, the actor shared a clip of one of his early morning gym sessions on Instagram.
