Kenny Chesney just came off a huge show last night at Riverbend on his "Goin' Coastal" Tour, and a big thanks again to Rhonda Unger for donating $230 to Dayton Children's for the last pair of tickets to the show!   If you're a Kenny fan, you know the man takes pride in his fitness and works hard at looking good, but did you know he can do 300 pushups in 10 minutes? Yup, that's it!   That's just one reason why Men's Health Magazine has named the Tennessee superstar the "Fittest Man in the Country!"  "I have to train to do my show the way I want to do it," he says. "I'm not one of these guys that just stands there behind the microphone. I work really hard to give the fans the best possible concert."   Thanks Kenny!   Check out the story for details on Kenny's workout secrets.    Eating wise, Kenny keeps it straight and narrow for the most part, with scrambled egg whites, grilled chicken, tomato slices and a whole wheat bagel.   But he also allows himself a cheat day. “If I want a chocolate-covered double cheeseburger, I’ll eat it,” he said.   I always knew I liked KC!!!    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWSn0JFRiPI


Make Time to Sweat

Chesney's "Goin' Coastal" tour will take him all over North America this summer—from Philadelphia to Cuyahoga Falls to Indianapolis to Vancouver. But no matter how busy his schedule, Chesney never misses a workout—even if has to make it a quick one. "You'd be amazed at what you can do in a short amount of time to get a burn in, to feel healthier, to feel like you're not staying the same," he says.

So what if you just have 10 minutes? Try this pushup drill that Chesney uses when he doesn't have a minute to spare. "Start with 10 pushups, then rest 10 seconds," says Meng. "Then do 9 pushups, and rest 9 seconds; do 8 pushups, and rest 8 seconds, and so on, until you work your way down to 1 pushup." Warning: This isn't easy, so if needed, start with fewer pushups. Of course, as your fitness improves, you can also do more. "At one point, Kenny got to where he could start this drill at 24 pushups," says Meng. "Do the math: That's 300 pushups in 10 minutes."
