    Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra talked with Mens Health about his exercise routine on tour:

    The bike was effective, but it wasn’t sustainable. Hull says the daily rides began to feel “less doable” as he bored of the monotony. Rather than quit, he took this as an opportunity to try something new: jumping rope. This was the perfect fitness tool for a touring musician, since it could fit in a small bag and be used anywhere—but it required a higher bar to entry than a stationary bike. “I said some of the most outrageous stuff out loud to myself that I’ve ever said failing for months at jump rope,” Hull admits.

    He definitely lost a lot of weight. Super noticeable when he's on stage.

    Reading articles like this makes me so incredibly joyous.

    Love seeing Andy Hull and Ben Gibbard and others flipping the script on tour-life being a crippling element of their physical beings.

    I also had a similar idea and unnecessarily made the album art for it a while ago.
