Mike Posner ended a long career drought this spring with the blurry hit “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” — but you’re more likely to find him sweating in the gym than passed out in a nightclub.
Posner tells Coach magazine that he gets his best highs from a good workout. He says, “[Exercise] is incredibly important, and I exercise five to six days per week. For me, being happy is the most important thing in my life, and when I exercise, I feel happy. Also, a by-product of that is my body looks nicer too, which is not a bad thing.
And Mike has a pretty good sense of his progress. “I would say I’m probably an eight, or an 8.4, [fitness-wise]. I’d like to get up to a nine, but I think a 10 is reserved for professional athletes, and their job is to be a 10, and they get paid to do that. I get paid to do music, so I can’t devote all my time to being a 10 — I think it’s off the table for me. Whereas a nine is attainable — I’m damn close!”
