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, Mark has kept his “4 a.m. club” going, encouraging his followers to start their day strong.
But, as Mark 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.
“I am known for getting up at 4 a.m.,” he says, explaining that it doesn’t matter “whether your 4 a.m. is actually at 4 a.m., or it’s 8 a.m. or it’s 4 p.m.”
“Sometimes I work nights, I’m on a night schedule,” he continues. “I just get eight hours of sleep, I get up and I make sure that I do all the things that I need to do for myself to be the best version of myself before I’ve got to wake the kids up.”
“I’m not an evening person,” he adds. “I used to be, but for me there’s nothing but trouble after those hours, so I like to get up and get it done.”

The good news is, you don’t need to set your alarm to go off before sunrise to get fit. Mark’s advice for anyone looking to make a positive change is simple: “Start your fitness journey today.”
