“It Looks Really Intimidating”: Tech Millionaire Embraces Mark Wahlberg’s Agonizingly Brutal Fitness Ritual to Battle Aging

Cold plunges have been a viral trend on the internet for some time. While there is no strong evidence of its health benefits, many fitness influencers try it. Among the elite ones is Mark Wahlberg, whose 4:00 A.M. routine starts with a cold plunge. Now, the anti-aging hero Bryan Johnson is up for his first cold-plunge challenge.

The 46-year-old millionaire is known for his Blueprint protocol that is helping him to reverse his biological age to that of 18 years old. So, in his quest to become immortal, he joined his friend Steve Aoki for a cold plunge session.

Bryan Johnson’s first cold plunge

Johnson is known in the fitness world for his morning routine involving 60+ pills and multigenerational plasma transfer. He finds ways to rejuvenate every part of his body, like hair, skin, joints, and vital organs, and his friend Aoki wanted him to try a cold plunge. However, before jumping into the ice-cold tub, Johnson confessed the anxiety involved.

“I mean it looks very intimidating. Steve just gave me a really encouraging pep talk. He’s going to coach me through it. So this is gonna be a pretty cool life experience,” Johnson confessed before relaxing in the water with ice cubes. While it was Johnson’s first plunge in ice cold water, the Hollywood superstar Mark Wahlberg pioneers the well-known TikTok challenge like a pro.

After a grilling gym session, the Ted actor needs proper rest and recovery for his body, and he finds the cold plunges to be the best formula despite the agonizing freeze. So, don’t be surprised to know the 52-year-old gets his plunges first thing in the morning whether he is at home or a hotel. Interestingly, another one of Wahlberg’s fitness routines recently got certified by Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger promotes Mark Wahlberg’s diet routine

The Italian Job actor follows an Intermittent Fasting (IF) routine, maintaining an 18-hour fasting window with only a 6-hour eating period. While bodybuilders generally refrain from such a diet routine, Schwarzenegger wants his fitness village to choose it over the hectic calorie counting.

 In his recent newsletter edition, Arnie suggested a scientific study on two groups, which proves that the group of people on the IF diet for a year lost 10 lbs while a batch on calorie counting protocol lost 12 lbs. So, Arnie informs that Intermittent Fasting is as effective as calorie counting when it comes to weight loss. However, the 76-year-old notes that it is tough to maintain muscle mass while on an IF diet. 

Mark Wahlberg’s fitness rituals have earned widespread acclaim on social media. The fitness community loves his discipline at 52 and his routine has blessed him with a great physique. And for Bryan Johnson, one has to wait and watch if he opts for a cold plunge again.
