Mark Wahlberg Workout Routine

Wahlberg is a high-performance guy who is committed to reaching his fitness goals. He has been training under Brian Nguyen for over 13 years to get in shape for some of his most demanding roles.

Wahlberg wakes up at 2:30 in the morning for a tough workout session that starts before 4’o clock in the gym. The session lasts for one and a half hours during which he focuses on weight training, including overhead presses, vertical presses, and reverse lunges.

To recover from muscle soreness and inflammation, Wahlberg gets a post-workout cryotherapy session, which he feels reduces pain and improves sleep.
