Mark Wahlberg is known for both his incredible physical fitness and for being one of the most openly devout Christians in Hollywood. What fans may not know about Wahlberg, however, is that he’s so devoted to both his fitness and his faith that he wakes up at an incredibly early hour to start each day with both!
Wahlberg Wakes Up At 1am To Pray And Work Out
Wahlberg, 53, took to Instagram on Tuesday to shockingly reveal that he wakes up at 1am every morning to pray and hit the gym.
“Eight hours of sleep always,” Wahlberg says in the video, which was filmed in a gym. “If I’m in the gym at 1, that means I went to bed at 5. OK, do the math.
“We’re working, we’re shooting,” he added. “So, if we got to leave at 4, I got to get up at 1. I got to get this […] done.”
Wahlberg went on to say that he begins each day the same way.
“I get up…get on my hands and my knees. I start with my prayer,” he explained. “Get in that water. I get down to the gym. That’s a must. That’s happening every single day.”
“No more excuses,” he continued. “Get up and get it done.”

Wahlberg Promotes Fitness
While Wahlberg’s discipline is something to behold, his fans won’t be too surprised about his intense fitness regimen. Indeed, the Hollywood A-lister has used his platform to promote healthy lifestyles for many years.
“Everything in moderation,” Wahlberg previously told Fox News. “Should you be able to enjoy foods and desserts? All of those things – enjoy. But eating right, exercise and finding the right balance [is important,].”
“I just encourage people to start young,” he continued. “Communicating to people the importance of living healthy and long lives. When you get older, you start feeling it, then you realize. But you know the great saying, ‘Youth is wasted on the young.’ We want to get people before that.”

Wahlberg’s Strong Christian Faith
Aside from his fitness, faith is the most important thing in Wahlberg’s life.
“I have to attribute all my success to my faith,” Wahlberg told Fox News earlier this year.
Last year, Wahlberg said that his faith is “just the most important aspect of my life.”
“It’s the most important thing,” he explained. “It’s afforded me all the things that I’ve been able to accomplish in my life – my faith, my discipline.”

Wahlberg’s devotion to both fitness and God is truly inspiring. While waking up at 1am each day may be a big ask for most of us, starting each morning by praying and working out doesn’t sound like a bad idea!
