Fitness: Mark Wright has revealed how he sticks to his exercise routine and healthy diet while traveling the world for work.
He said: ‘It wasn’t until I was 24 and had a year out of football that I had to think about fitness. I gained a lot of weight. Genuinely, if you look at my photos when I was 24, you see that my face was big.
“That’s when I realized I had to learn how to stay in shape on my own. And that’s when I had to start and I had to learn. So I started exercising and did my own diet when I turned 25.
‘I mean, it probably took me a year or two to get what I wanted and figure out what works for me and what I enjoy. So I have my routine and it’s just about finding what you enjoy.
Mark, who runs a fitness platform with his brother Josh, revealed: “It can be anything, walking, swimming, boxing, soccer, anything, just get what you enjoy and stick with it.” Get your diet, get your meal plan, have your nuts on you and then you’ll have that source of energy when you show low energy.

Mark recently landed his “dream” role, which he will star in alongside his two best friends.
The reality star will host the new show A Wright Old Adventure alongside his father Mark senior and younger brother Josh.
Mark has just finished filming the European trip, in which he visited Croatia, Malta, Italy, Mallorca and Portugal, but he never uses the trip as an excuse when it comes to working out.
He said: ‘I travel a lot and I’m hardly ever in one place at a time. So I don’t make an excuse of that, you know, because I feel like wherever you are, you can exercise.
“Whether it’s a successful workout online, which you can find everywhere, or if it’s running or walking, you can always throw in some extra training, it really doesn’t matter where you are.”
He said: ‘I travel a lot and I’m hardly ever in one place at a time. So I don’t make an excuse of that, you know, because I feel like wherever you are, you can exercise.’
Mark is working with California Almonds to highlight the importance of eating well to maintain energy levels and achieve your goals.
He added: ‘Don’t fall for making excuses. A lot of people blame that on low energy and not having the right diet and stuff. And that’s why this campaign meant a lot to me.
‘California almonds are a good source of energy. And people need to understand that you need it. It’s not just about diet and how many calories you eat. It’s all about eating nutritious foods, like almonds, to give you that energy boost you need. Because otherwise you’ll just sit there feeling low on energy and wanting.’

Mark said, “When I’m on tour nonstop for a month, like the show I just did with my brother and dad, it’s hard, but you can always find nutritious food.”
‘Sometimes it’s not ideal and you would surely prefer to cook your own food. But you know, you can always eat when you stop at the services. If you are on the way. It’s your choice whether you go to fast food or go somewhere where you can find a healthy alternative.
Mark admitted that he’s not always motivated to work out: ‘When I have to go to the gym, I just get up and go. But I mean, I have times in the day where I’m scrolling through Instagram or Tiktok and I find myself there thinking it’s three minutes and it ends up being 30. So yeah, you can waste a lot of time on social media, that’s for sure. ‘
A study, commissioned by California Almonds, found that the average Briton wastes 10 hours a month procrastinating.
This leaves a quarter feeling low on energy, limiting their ability to achieve their goals, leaving 31% feeling guilty.
Mark continued: ‘For me, the first year or two of getting fit is hard. And that’s the part where people give up and give up because they find it too mentally challenging to try to change their diet.
‘I always say this really simple. If I’m sitting down and I have to go, I literally do one, two, three and just jump up and go. Because you will never want to go to the gym.
‘Like, if you enjoy the gym, there’s something wrong. Yes. I mean, once you’re there, yes, you enjoy it and the feeling afterwards is sensational. I feel like a different man.
Mark, who runs a fitness platform with his brother Josh, said: “It can be anything, walking, swimming, boxing, soccer, anything, just get what you enjoy and stick with it.”
