Mark Wahlberg Workout – How to Get Ripped Abs
A Celebrity Workout Review For Mark Wahlberg…by Brad Campbell
Former New Kids on the Block member, solo rapper and Calvin Klein underwear model…and currently one hell of an actor…Mark Wahlberg (aka Marky Mark) is one of the first celebrities I remember being jealous of. This guy had a shredded physique with an awesome set of 6 pack abs. It’s not hard to see how he landed that CK gig back in the dizzay. And even at 38 years old today, he’s managed to maintain that lean and athletic look for his various movie roles.
To achieve a body like Mark Wahlberg, you’ll need to add slightly more muscle mass, as compared to the celebrities I normally review. Now, I specialize in taking you from average to exceptional, by helping you quickly remove the ugly fat that covers up your muscles.
If, however, you’re already lean and now you need to add more muscle mass to your frame…I’d suggest using my partner’s cutting edge system (he’s the muscle building expert). Here’s my affiliate link, so he knows I sent you: Build Ripped Muscles (during the course of using his program, feel free to drop me a line and let me know how your progress is coming).
The beautiful thing is that Mark Wahlberg’s workout is anything but complicated, which is why I wanted to do a quick review of the training routine he uses to stay so ripped.
Overview of Mark Wahlberg’s Workout:
–> His fitness kick started at a young age, when he and brother Donnie (also a NKOTB original member) began getting into trouble on the streets of Boston…after doing some time in prison, Mark started taking his aggression out on the weights, instead of other people’s faces (who said boy band members were soft?).
–> According to Wahlberg, he exercises 5-6 days a week for about 30 mins per session.
–> He focuses entirely on weight training, hitting several different muscle groups each workout with an intense effort.
–> Marky Mark hates treadmills, exercise bikes and other cardio equipment…and claims that he does no cardio training whatsoever.
–> With certain upcoming movies, he may add role-specific drills to prepare for his character, but the weight training always remains the foundation for his muscular and sculpted physique.
–> Mark Wahlberg also says he does NO crunches or direct ab exercises…EVER.
–> Mark’s diet is very strict and he avoids eating carbs after 6 pm.
What does Mark Wahlberg’s workout program teach us?
–> Simple is better. I’m a big believer in making workouts as simple and basic as possible. I laugh when I see these terribly complicated workouts that claim to produce dramatic results…if you have to take pages of notes, a graphing calculator and a personal assistant to your workout session, just to make sure you’re following the program exactly right…chances are you’re not going to get results.
Why? Because it’s impossible to be focused and intense during a workout when you have to stop constantly and consult your notes. You should be vibing to the gangsta rap music blasting through your iPod and getting ready to attack the next exercise…and that’s it. Any other unnecessary interruptions will have a negative impact on your workout intensity.
–> Weight training is da bomb. If you had to pick just one form of exercise to lose fat, build muscle, tone up and get ripped…it should hands down be weight training. Marky Mark realized this earlier on and hasn’t looked back. I mean, take a look at that guy’s abs and then think about the fact that he doesn’t do ANY cardio whatsoever.
That’s because old school, steady-state cardio is much less effective at burning fat and almost entirely worthless when it comes to building muscle. Always focus on strength training first, especially if you’re trying to lose fat quickly.
–> Shorter is sweeter. Wahlberg only works out for 30 mins per session, saying that intensity is the most important factor in changing your body. Most of the advanced fat loss workouts I’ll be giving you are 15 minutes or less…but the intensity required during these brief sessions will be like nothing else you’ve ever experienced before. The result will be faster fat loss and more free time to listen to New Kids on the Block, or whatever else you’re in to.
–> Ab training is worthless. Most celebrity workouts start off with like 30 minutes of crunches, oblique twists and all sorts of crazy ab exercises that do nothing but waste your time and make you think you’re getting one step closer to a ripped 6 pack.
Marky Mark’s got my back on this one…an awesome washboard stomach is the result of total body weight training, a strict diet and achieving a super low body fat percentage that lets those babies show through. When you get to about 6% body fat…if you don’t like the way your abs look, or if you think your lower abs could use a little work to make them ‘pop’ more…then, and only then, should you even consider ab training.
–> Don’t mess with boy bands. Mark Wahlberg is proof that we shouldn’t stereotype boy band members…some of these guys can be pretty bad ass, haha.
