Mark Wahlberg is known for hitting the gym first thing in the morning — and now, the actor is taking his fitness to a new level.
On July 21, the Departed star, who typically documents his daily 4 a.m. workouts, posted a new video on Instagram of his insane 2 a.m. Sunday gym session.
“My week starts on Sunday🙏2 am 🥶 @municipal 🏹📈💯 get a head start🥶🔥,” the 53-year-old captioned the post, giving a shoutout to his athleisure clothing company.
In the comments, fans couldn’t believe how early Wahlberg was working out and praised him for his dedication.
Despite always seeming eager to go when it comes to his workouts, Wahlberg told PEOPLE in February there are times he doesn’t want to hit the gym. “I feel it more often than you think,” he said when asked if he ever felt like not exercising.
However, the Family Plan actor said that remaining fit and intentionally taking on tough challenges is important to his lifestyle.
“I don’t want to miss something because if, God forbid, I kind of cut corners, don’t show up, don’t put the work in and I don’t get the results that I want, I know why. I don’t want to live with that regret,” he said, adding, “I always feel better after and I just go and get it in.”
“I start out sluggish and the next thing you know I’ve ramped it up to a 12 and I got the best workout that I’ve had in a long time,” Wahlberg continued, explaining that his achievements in the gym are a result of the strong work ethic he possesses.
“But the hard work that I’ve put in has always been a reason why I have success,” the star added.
