In the latest edition of Men’s Health, Brown details his mission to “sweat for an hour every day,” which is advice he obtained from a conversation with Springsteen.

"When I met Springsteen, I said, 'Tell me something that’s helped you to stay feeling good,’” Brown recalled. “He was like, 'Man, you need to sweat for an hour a 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.'"

Brown took the advice seriously, trading "a bottle of Jäger before the show, during the show, and after the show,” for workouts in his custom trailer gym that follows him on the road.

"If I go four or five days without working out, everything just seems to be a little darker than it should be," he shared. "I don't want to lose mass, but I just want to get my body-fat percentage down and be able to push myself so when I'm out doing the activities I love to do, I can do them better," he said.

The ZBB frontman has big plans to continue his workouts into his senior years with goals to be "a ripped old dude" and continue challenging adventures.

"I don't want to be alcoholic, red-faced, hunched over, can't move," he continued. "Whatever makes me feel the best so I can be the best for my kids and my people, that's the goal for me."
