702’s Bongani Bingwa catches up on the latest viral content with Jonathan ‘Khabazela’ Fairbairn.
This fitness influencer did not get the reaction he was looking for with his latest morning routine video.
With over 700 million views on X (formerly Twitter), Ashton Hall has social media users both amazed and deeply confused.
His six-hour routine from 3.30 am to 9.30 am includes mouth taping, face ice baths with premium bottled water, meditating, shirtless push-ups and a quick swim where he hovers in the air for four minutes - if the time stamps are to be believed.
“I don’t know where he gets the energy to do this kind of stuff in the morning."
