Why Ashton Hall’s video is going viral?
While his commitment to fitness is evident, certain aspects of his video—such as rubbing a banana peel on his face—have left viewers questioning whether the content was intended as satire. Last month, Hall uploaded a YouTube video titled “The Morning Routine That Changed My Life: 3:50 AM to 9:30 AM.” The video quickly gained traction, accumulating 41 million views on YouTube before being reposted on X (formerly Twitter), where it shattered records with 486 million views in just three days.

Hall meticulously explains each step of his routine. His day begins before dawn, waking up at precisely 3:50 AM. After brushing his teeth, he steps onto the balcony for a 15-minute push-up session, followed by meditation and prayer. He then plunges his face into a bowl of ice-cold Saratoga water, a step he repeats multiple times throughout the morning. By 6:00 AM, he prepares for the gym, where he trains rigorously until 7:30 AM, followed by a swim and a shower.
As his morning progresses, he consumes a banana shortly before 9:00 AM, using its peel on his face before transitioning into work mode, complete with a blazer and a structured desk setup. Another round of ice-water face dunking follows during a meeting, while breakfast, prepared by someone else, marks the conclusion of his morning routine.

With over half a billion views, the video has sparked a flurry of reactions, ranging from admiration to skepticism. While some viewers appreciated the discipline involved, others expressed amusement and disbelief. One social media user remarked that while the routine certainly required dedication, they were more impressed by working parents who managed to balance fitness with professional responsibilities. Another questioned the productivity of waking up at 3:45 AM yet achieving little beyond exercise by 9:00 AM.
