Ashton Hall’s ‘morning routine’ highlights the pressures men face today

Ashton Hall’s day begins at 3:52 a.m., if his most recent viral video is to be believed.

The online fitness coach starts his very early morning by removing a piece of tape from his mouth. Over the next five-and-a-half hours, he embarks on a series of endeavors that include repeatedly dunking his face into a bowl of ice water, rubbing a banana peel on his skin and diving into a swimming pool (an act that, according to the timestamp, takes a full four minutes). Cobalt blue bottles of Saratoga water feature heavily throughout.

Hall’s bizarrely involved morning routine has inspired numerous parodies and widespread ridicule, with viewers memeing the only line he utters in the video: “So looking at it bro, we gotta go ahead and get in at least 10,000.”
