I’ve always wondered how people like Kenny Chesney can keep entertaining a crowd for hours on end. Walking back and forth on a stage, singing and dancing. If you’ve never seen Kenny in concert, you have to make it a to-do on your list.

So lets get straight to it! What does he do to get that heart rate up? Easy. Running. He told GQ Magazine that he started “using a Woodway treadmill called the Curve”, a machine that’s 100-percent Chesney-powered. “There’s no plugging it in. Your body does the work and moves the belt. Walking on it is hard, much less sprinting. Running on the Curve got me in better shape than I’ve ever been in.”

Now that is work. Something else that would be work for some of us…. Not drinking beer! “I didn’t drink out on the road, which might surprise some people.” And it wasn’t as hard as fans might think. “Once I make up my mind to do something, that’s what I’m gonna do. I have that mental makeup. I can go down and hang out on the boat in the island and stay for an overextended vacation, enjoy it, then come home and cut it off.”
