Mark Wahlberg kept up his intense fitness regimen even through the holiday season, starting with a cold plunge on Christmas morning. In a video shared on Instagram, the 53-year-old actor was seen preparing for a cold plunge at 4 AM. Despite the rain, Wahlberg remained committed to his routine, stating, “4 A.M. rain or shine, we’re still gonna plunge.”
In the video, Wahlberg walked out of a locker room shower, wearing navy swim trunks, a watch on one wrist, and a bracelet on the other. His well-defined abs were on full display as he posed for the camera. He captioned the post, emphasizing the dedication of his early morning routine with the hashtag “4 am club” and referencing his partners in fitness, @thecoldlife, and @municipal.
The actor’s commitment to fitness is unwavering, even during the holidays. On Christmas Eve, Wahlberg started his day early with another workout session. He posted a video of himself lifting weights at 4 AM, wearing a cut-off tank top from his fitness clothing line, Municipal. Flexing his muscles, he shared the workout on Instagram, reminding his followers of his relentless dedication to his fitness goals.
Later that day, Wahlberg shifted his focus from fitness to family. He joined his wife, Rhea Durham, and their four children to celebrate Christmas. A glimpse of their festivities was shared on his Instagram Story, showing the family gathered in the living room, with a Santa Claus statue in the background. Wahlberg also posted a heartwarming Christmas card featuring his family.
The Christmas card showcased Wahlberg with his wife and their children: Ella, Michael, Brendan, and Grace, all gathered together on a couch. Wahlberg captioned the post, “Merry Christmas from my family to yours.” His wife, Rhea Durham, also shared the family’s holiday card and wished her followers a Merry Christmas, signing off, “Love, The Wahlbergs.”
Despite his strict fitness schedule, Wahlberg makes sure to be actively involved in his family’s holiday traditions. Although he doesn’t handle the holiday cooking much, Wahlberg has a role in planning family vacations. Speaking to Us Weekly in 2017, Wahlberg explained that while his wife handles decorating and gift purchasing, he takes charge of planning special family excursions and always ensures there’s something special for her.
