MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx says that he is “training like crazy” in preparation for the opening night of the band’s upcoming “The Stadium Tour” with DEF LEPPARD, POISON and JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS.
Asked in a new interview with Westlake Magazine & West Luxury Magazine how he is getting ready for the upcoming trek, Sixx said:
“I train like crazy for tours. You don’t want to step onstage and not have double the stamina as the length of the show. I do fasted cardio, weight training and HIIT (high intensity interval training).
He continued:
“I eat 2,250 calories a day. And then, of course, there is building stamina around my bass playing. I’ve got to be ready to go fast and hard for 90 to 120 minutes while jumping around like a madman and singing background vocals. You don’t just wing rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a sport.”
