Eminem is an exercise addict

Posted by Sam on 30th June 2009 in Eminem

The rapper recently confessed that he has recently discovered a new addiction of his: exercise. Eminem related the following about his eploitation of physical exercises: “I’ve done a lot of cardio. I’m actually at the point where I think I’ve got a little obsessive/compulsive about it. Like running on a treadmill – I started doing two miles a day. Then I did four. Then I got up to six, then 10, 15 until at 17 I had to take a break. I couldn’t stop.” Well, it is a known fact that exercise, particularly running, can release endorphins or other “happy” substances in the brain. Still, Eminem probably knows that there are much more powerful forces that can be used for such purposes.
