\"Cast <\/p>\n

At 54, Mark Wahlberg<\/a> still has the physique he had in his early career as an underwear model.<\/p>\n

The Boogie Nights star often shows off his physique on Instagram<\/a>, and now, he is finally revealing his step-by-step gym routine. <\/p>\n

In his new YouTube series<\/a>, Wahlberg invites decades-younger content creators to join him for a morning workout at his house. <\/p>\n

For years, he has hit the gym at 4 a.m. five days a week. \u201cMost of you guys know me from the movies, but I\u2019m also the crazy old guy with the crazy schedule,\u201d he says in the first video<\/a>, before welcoming his guest, Brent Rivera, 28.<\/p>\n

\"Mark<\/p>\n

Mark Wahlberg details his workout routine and showcases his physique in a new YouTube series. In the first episode, he worked out with YouTuber Brent Rivera.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a normal workout,\u201d Wahlberg writes in the caption. He warns Rivera that, since he joined Wahlberg on a Thursday, the routine would be even more challenging than usual.<\/p>\n

\u201cThursday is one of the harder days: Thursday is leg day, so we go a little heavier, a little harder,\u201d Wahlberg says. <\/p>\n

Before starting the workout, The Departed actor makes his guests join him for three minutes in a cold plunge tub<\/a>, which he calls \u201cthe best way to start your day.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"Mark<\/p>\n

Mark Wahlberg has utilized his fit physique for some of his roles, including the 2010 film “The Fighter.”<\/p>\n

Wahlberg says it used to take him over 30 minutes to feel ready for his morning workouts before he added the cold plunge to his routine.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the time I get in there now, I feel ready to go,\u201d he says. \u201cI mean, I get out of the ice bath: All the soreness, the aches, and pains are gone. You got energy and dopamine that lasts for hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two train through 14 different exercises: assault bike, bicep curls, hamstring curls, leg extensions, hip thrusts, crunches, back squats, back extensions, seated calf raises, lying hamstring curls, ab coasters, Bulgarian split squats, TRX sissy squats, and pendulum squats.<\/p>\n

While Wahlberg flies through the routine, Rivera stops short with four of the exercises.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the second video<\/a>, Wahlberg was joined at the gym by comedian Druski, 31.<\/p>\n

The two warmed up with the assault bike, followed by cable torso twists, cable bicep curls, ab coaster, ab crunches, decline sit-ups, seated calf raises, lat pull-downs, pull-ups, and supermans.<\/p>\n

The comedian quit six of the 11 exercises.<\/p>\n

Throughout the next eight episodes, viewers will see Wahlberg\u2019s full weekly routine.<\/p>\n

In 2023, he told Men\u2019s Health<\/a> that part of the reason for his early workout schedule was to be energized and present for his four children: Ella, Michael, Brendan, and Grace, whom he shares with his wife, model Rhea Durham.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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\u2019ve got to wake the kids up.\u201d<\/p>\n
