Mark Wahlberg's 7-Move Bodyweight Blast
Throughout his lengthy acting career, Mark Wahlberg has trained his body for a variety of roles. He layered muscle upon muscle to star alongside Dwayne Johnson in Pain and Gain, was athletic in Invincible, and sported a leaner look before his days as an actor.
He did it all with a training regimen that's become the stuff of internet legend: He's awake before the average guy, more scheduled than most humans, and he trains hard. But he's also evolved all that training over time and now, at age 49, he's not necessarily lifting massive weights every day of the week. Instead, Wahlberg's come to appreciate the simplicity and challenge that comes with bodyweight exercises and interval training, and he uses both styles of training to maximum effect.
Will Wahlberg's approach layer muscle upon muscle onto your body? No, but it is a good, quick way to get a good sweat. One of Wahlberg’s favorite routines is a 60-minute F45 session called Hollywood, a 27-station HIIT workout. It involves 40-on, 15-off intervals. Go to F45challenge.com for the full circuit.
