Zac Brown shares the fitness advice he once got from Bruce Springsteen

In a new Men’s Health feature, Zac Brown Band frontman Zac Brown details his tour workout and the custom-built gym that follows the band on the road in a tractor-trailer.

Years of hard road living took its toll on Zac. “I had L5 issues, a bulging disc and I couldn’t move my leg. I had to have a surgery last year to take some of the trash out,” he explains. But the singer found fresh motivation to stay active and healthy when he sought advice from a rocker who knows exactly how difficult it is to stay fit on tour: Bruce Springsteen.

“When I met Springsteen, I said, ‘Tell me something that’s helped you stay feeling good,’” Zac recounts. “He was like, ‘Man, you need to sweat for an hour every day. I don’t care what you do, doesn’t matter. You need to sweat for an hour a day.’”

“I was like, ‘You’re the Boss. Let’s do it,’” the singer recalls.
