Mark Wahlberg explains why he rethought exaggerated physical and eating habits

American actor Mark Wahlberg was, for many years, a fan of a daily routine that few would dare copy. He woke up at 2:30 in the morning, played sports, did weight training more than once a day, ate seven meals, worked, dedicated himself to his family and was already in bed at 7:30 pm. With so many activities taking up almost three quarters of his day, today he regrets some of the exaggerations he practiced over many years.

The subject went viral in 2018 after the actor published an image on a social network that showed in very detailed terms what his daily life was like. With pre-defined times starting early in the morning, at 3:15 am, Mark was already having his breakfast. At 5:30 pm he would meet his family for dinner and two hours later he would go to sleep.

Rethinking old habits improved your quality of life

Today, Mark Wahlberg regrets the exaggerations committed over many years and has changed some topics in his routine. “I changed my philosophy a little bit. If I was really smart, I would have listened to the people who told me how to do things right back then.”he stated.

The statement refers to bad eating habits and physical training that is not always done in the right way. His late regret is that he only realized these mistakes after he was 50, which may have curtailed his film career. “I would have another 15 years making more 'physical' films”he stated.

Lighter routine and plenty of time with family

In a recent interview with the American magazine Men's Health, Mark said that he reviewed past exaggerations and readjusted himself. He adopted a reduced but healthier diet, trains professionally twice a day and accepts his body's physical limits. However, he still gets up at 4am to start his sports practice and has plenty of time to dedicate himself to his wife and four children.
