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.

Britney Spears’ good old exercising days

The singer recently admitted that she isn’t as fit as she used to be simply because she doesn’t feel as motivated to go to the gym as she did before having children. Britney Spears said: “I used to be a workout freak but after I had my kids it was a lot harder to get back into that routine. I used to love going to the gym but as you get older and have more responsibilities, you lose that kind of discipline. Even now I have a much harder time getting mentally psyched to train. But once I’m in the gym I start getting into it and I feel great.” So it seems Britney Spears’ problem is more like getting to the gym than actually finding the will to do the exercise. In the case of a person with so many responsibilites, you couldn’t use the term “couch potato”, but since her father seems so bent on controling everything she does, then perhaps one might reconsider.
