No Doubt Takes A Personal Trainer On Tour
No Doubt take their personal trainers on tour.
The ‘Don’t Speak’ rockers – who have recently reunited following a four-year hiatus – admit they are no longer able to cope with the rigours of being on the road unless they are fully fit.
Bassist Tony Kanal said:
"We travel with two personal trainers. We're getting older and we can't party like we used to."
The group have to rely on professional fitness experts because they attract too much attention if they go to a gym.
Singer Gwen Stefani said:
"I have to wear make-up to the gym because I get some dude doing sit-ups next to me and surreptitiously taking pictures.”
Can you imagine?! Damn those camera phones. :)
Gwen – who has two sons Kingston, three, and 10-month-old Zuma, with husband Gavin Rossdale - also revealed the group are touring without any new material because she was too busy eating to write any songs.
She added to the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper:
"Honestly, it's procrastination. My plan was to get pregnant and write a record, but instead of writing, I just ate all the time.
"Writing is always really hard for me - I hate it and hate it, and then I do it and I'm happy it's done. I was blocked and I needed to get inspired, and I thought playing live would get the creative juices flowing again."
"But instead of writing, I just ate all the time" - lol! Yeah, that pretty much sums up the last few months for me too. I am this close to completing a project and am completely procrastinating.

I took my boys (2& 4) to the ND, Paramour show, it was a good time. I have a hard time believing that she needs a trainer, she probably burned 1,000 calories just trotting around the stage. At one point she dropped down and started doing pushups....

Her abs looks great. A personal trainer would really help me. I don't have anyone to motivate me so I usually just stay home...

Didn't care for having a personal trainer, I prefer to do it on my own, but I see how it would be beneficial to having one on tour!

She's so refreshingly real and normal. And to think I couldn't stand her before she had Kingston!
I had a trainer and preferred it. I like someone kicking my butt!

no doubt booked a 2nd show here at the end of their tour and I snagged tickets for my 8 y/o daughter and I! She recently "discovered" them (I swear if I have to listen to Tragic Kingdom one more time...) and I'm surprising her with the show. Took her to the HOB last night for Nat & Alex...my little rocker girl!
311 tonight (sans child)! wooo
