Fitness influencer Ashton Hall has taken the internet by storm with a morning routine so extreme, so outrageously disciplined, that it has left millions questioning their own life choices.
His now-viral video, which racked up a staggering 700 million impressions on X (formerly Twitter), showcases a daily regimen that seems more like a Navy SEAL boot camp than a wellness routine.
Hall’s hyper-structured morning begins at the ungodly hour of 3:52 a.m., a time most people only see if they have made terrible decisions the night before. But for Hall, it is the launchpad for a series of activities so intense they make even the most hardcore gym bros look lazy.

A Play By Play of Hall’s Unhinged A.M. Schedule
3:52 A.M. Wake up Because sleeping until 4 a.m. is for the weak.
Mouth taping (Yes, seriously.) Hall tapes his mouth shut, presumably to stop himself from saying, “Why am I doing this?”
Brushing teeth and push ups The multitasking begins early.
Reading and journaling Because nothing says “peaceful reflection” like being half awake at 4 a.m.
Listening to spiritual podcasts Perhaps hoping for divine intervention to get through the rest of the routine.
Ice bath for his face Normal people splash water on their face. Hall chooses an Arctic expedition.
Workout Obviously.
Swimming Why not throw in some laps?
Banana facial A truly unexpected step. Hall mashes up a banana and smears it on his face, claiming it has skincare benefits. (Someone alert dermatologists everywhere.)
Business ready breakfast at 9:26 A.M. After conquering the entire world before most people hit snooze, he finally eats.
The Internet Explodes: Is This Man for Real?
Unsurprisingly, Hall’s extreme morning regimen sent social media into meltdown mode. While some admired his discipline and commitment, others were left speechless, debating whether this was a genius level life hack or a borderline fever dream.
“700 million impressions? That is more people than the population of the U.S.” one X user commented. Another wrote, “If I wake up at 3:52 a.m., it is because I am haunted.”
Hall Responds: “People Follow Jesus. Why? Because He Was Great.”
Instead of backing down amid the online chaos, Hall took to social media to deliver a sermon like response that left jaws on the floor.
“This is for the creators that are sick and tired of their work being copied,” he began, dramatically setting the stage. “Listen to me well. You are either going to be a leader or a follower…”
Then, in a statement that made theologians do a double take, Hall compared his influence to that of Jesus Christ Himself.
“People follow Jesus. Why? Because he was great. As a Christian man, why are you angry if they are following you? Matter of fact, if you are doing something good with good intentions, this should be a great thing.”
Translation? Hall sees his viral morning routine as a beacon of inspiration. Or, at the very least, proof that if Jesus had a 4 a.m. skincare routine, people would have copied that too.

From NFL to Fitness Guru: The Ashton Hall Transformation
Hall’s rise to fame was not overnight. Before becoming a fitness influencer with a cult like following, he played in the NFL, with stints on teams like the Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts. But after stepping away from football, he faced serious personal struggles, including depression.
Rather than letting setbacks define him, Hall reinvented himself through fitness, discipline, and apparently, bananas. His approach to self improvement has resonated with thousands of fans across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, where he preaches the gospel of hard work, faith, and waking up at the crack of doom.
Critics Say: “Sir, Please Relax”
While Hall’s followers praise his otherworldly discipline, skeptics have been vocal in their horrified fascination with his routine.
“This is not a morning routine, this is a hostage situation.”
“If I put a banana on my face at 4 a.m., someone needs to come check on me.”
“Dude, just hit snooze. No one will judge you.”
Even some health experts have weighed in, warning that extreme morning regimens are not necessarily the key to success and that rest is just as crucial as discipline.
Should You Try This at Home?
If Hall’s viral saga has taught us anything, it is that there are two kinds of people in this world.
- Those who wake up before 4 a.m. to tape their mouths shut, take ice baths, and apply fruit to their faces.
- Normal human beings.
Whether you find Hall’s routine inspirational or absolutely bonkers, there is no denying that he has got the internet talking. And at the end of the day, whether you are grinding at 4 a.m. or snoozing until noon, the real question is: Are you a leader or a follower?
