Matthew McConaughey wants you to "go for distance"

When Matthew McConaughey trains, he doesn't need a watch and he doesn't need any sort of mile marker to tell him when he's done exercising. The boy just goes and goes and goes ... until he's drenched and exhausted. He simply just tries to run as far away from his starting point as he can.

This is his argument for doing so: "The return trip is always easier. Think about it. One, you can anticipate the road you've already traveled. Two, when it's time to eat the hay, the horses get home no matter how tired they are. Third, you're past the hump. You're in. Each step gets you closer to sitting down and relaxing." He says the beauty of all this is that the path can be different every single time.

Clearly, Matthew has a beautiful, strong and athletic physique. He may have more monetary means than many of us, but the road doesn't care if you're rich or you're poor. Matthew has a fun and open attitude towards fitness training. Take his advice and see where your legs will take you. I bet the road home will be just as rewarding as he promises it to be.

This interview with Matthew was featured in in the book, Men's Health Celebrity Diet Secrets 2008,
