He invites content creators to attempt his intense morning workout regimen. Wahlberg admitted the routine is ‘not a normal workout’.

The actor then moves to his gym for the main exercise session. He works out five days a week according to his schedule. He told YouTube star Brent Rivera that Thursday is ‘one of the harder days’. He explained that ‘Thursday is leg day’.
‘So I go a little heavier, a little harder,’ Wahlberg said about leg day. The full routine includes 14 different exercises according to the source. These exercises include bicep curls, hip thrusts, crunches and back squats. The series documents creators attempting this full regimen.
Wahlberg described the experience of the challenge in the series. ‘It’s early, it’s intense, and it’s a game,’ he said per Men’s Health. He added, ‘We train, we laugh, we learn a few things about each other’. The final part is ‘we find out who’s really built for it’.
The first video in the series features content creator Brent Rivera. It shows Rivera participating in the full 4 a.m. routine. The series offers an inside look at Wahlberg’s infamous fitness schedule. It highlights the intensity and commitment required.
