He recommends everyone try it out and that people must challenge themselves every day.
Another Recovery Method Used By Mark Wahlberg
Back in 2018, Wahlberg appeared on Ellen where he talked about how he uses a cryo chamber to let his body recover after a tough workout session at the time. Wahlberg stated,
“The cryo chamber was like a 150 [degree] below zero. You go in for three minutes, but you can move around, you can listen to a song. And it really kind of helps with your recovery…You go in, you know, you have a mask on, gloves, socks, a hat…I have a pair of underwear on.”
When Ellen DeGeneres asked him how his “stuff” deals with the cryo chamber, the actor replied, “It just shrivels up a little, but it’s okay.” Well, there is no stopping Wahlberg when it comes to treating his body like a temple! He truly is an inspiration.
