'The Pitt' star Noah Wyle does 100 push-ups a day come rain or come shine at 55

Noah Wyle is sharing how he manages to stay fit while filming the hit medical drama,

During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 55-year-old actor shared what it means for the Cedar Sinai Board of Governors to honor the show with the Hollywood Leadership Award, and how he stays fit enough to keep up with filming the physically demanding HBO Max show.

"I have an accountability partner and a guy named Dash Land who's the on-set dresser and he and I do a hundred push-ups every day, come rain or come shine. That's the base," Wyle said about his fitness routine. "We try to add a little bit on top of that if we can, if we remember to. That's base. We also installed a chin-up bar recently. I have a goal to be, I'm going to embarrass myself, to do ten by the end of the season. I'm at six right now, solid six."

The actor stars in "The Pitt," an intense medical drama which follows emergency nurses and doctors over the course of one shift, with each episode showcasing one hour of a 12-hour shift.

Wyle portrays Dr. Robby on the show, who is the chief attending physician and head of the emergency department at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, and is dealing with the emotional toll years of working on the frontlines of medicine can take on a person.

When speaking to Veja+ in January, Wyle said that the cast has to "take very good care of ourselves" almost "out of necessity," because while filming they "work 14 hours a day, five days a week, for nine months straight."

"At the beginning of filming I asked all the actors to do an exercise, and it was just standing on your feet for 15 hours," he said. "And as you stand, every hour begin to note where your fatigue is coming in – where do you get stiff, where's painful, when do you have to use the bathroom, when do you get hungry. Write all that down and then work it into the appropriate hour of your shift, and it'll give you the physicality that you need."

Men's Health referred this exercise as NEAT, which stands for non-exercise activity thermogenesis, which takes into account everyday activities which aren't necessarily considered exercise, but get the heart rate up, such as mowing the lawn or vacuuming the floor.

Wyle's workout routine has paid off, as the actor was recently named People's Sexiest Man Alive for 2026.

The news was met with mixed reactions online, with one social media user writing, "Out of all of the people in the world…this is who you pick? Youve got to be kidding," and another added, "Not even the sexiest in that show."

"More like Noah WHY-le! Ha ha but no seriously whod you actually pick?" the user joked, while another asked, "is this a joke?"
