Bush singer-songwriter Gavin Rossdale is probably best known for his high-energy stage presence and iconic performancesbut who could forget his sculpted physique, often put on display via Instagram? Mens Health recently paid the singer a visit at his home for the latest installment of "Gym & Fridge" to get an inside look at how he stays fit (and the countless diets he's tried in the process).
Rossdale says he exactly isnt one to live in the gym, but he spends plenty of time using his punching bag, building speed and agility, and working on becoming "one" with his body.
"I do a lot of stretching," he said. "I play a lot of soccer. So, its not about doing 2-hour workouts, everythings about just trying to make ourselves feel good so we can combat the challenges that everyone throws at us everyday.
Working out for many people can be solely about keeping those abs in check, but the singer says his favorite thing about working out is the connection he feels with his body and the positive impact it has on his mental health. And what keeps him motivated is knowing that time is finite (unless, of course, a hangover keeps him from his workout for the day).

The only way I can do the shows in the way I do them is because I have awareness with my own body, Rossdale explained. Mental health...its overlooked for far too long, especially for young males. Being fit makes you feel better, it gives you a sense of self. Its not about having a perfect body, its about finding balance and getting the most out of yourself in a reasonable way.
On the other hand, when it comes to nutrition, Rossdale has tried it all, from struggling through a 10-day fast to following a strict Korean diet, loading up on pork and beef. But after doing some research, he realized that eating meat wasnt the best option for him. He says that he and his family are trying to cut back on their meat consumption as a way to save the planet. Rossdale even spent his time in quarantine by building his own herb garden at home.

Meat is just not as good to us as were led to believe. Were really finding ways to fix the planet up. For my kids kids, and their kids, maybe its good for us all to be mindful. The worlds not going to go vegan, but we certainly can change our ways.
Nowadays, you can find his fridge filled with eggs, mushrooms, chickpeas, tofu, carrots, peas, and so much more. Surprisingly, theres no food Rossdale doesnt like or wouldnt eat. He says hes realized if you dont like something, preparation is usually to blame. That definitely leaves us with some food for thought.
