  • Miranda Lambert just revealed she is "terrified" of the gym in a new interview with People.

  • Meanwhile, her husband is an "energetic" fitness buff who helps push her when they work out.

  • The country singer did recently lose weight, but credited it simply to eating healthy.


Going to the gym isn’t for everyone, and it’s definitely not for Miranda Lambert. While her husband Brendan McLoughlin is all about getting in those sweat sessions, the "It All Comes Out In The Wash" singer just revealed in a new interview that she’s freaked out by them.

Apparently, McLoughlin is a total fitness buff (yeah, it’s obvious), while Miranda told People that she’s "terrified" of gyms. Still, it seems like her new hubby might be helping the country star get over her fear when they work out together.

"He helps me because he’s so energetic and he’ll push me," Miranda said of exercising with McLoughlin. But she said she’s also helping him see that there’s more to life than being fit.

"I think I’m helping him realize that, that’s great and all, but that’s not what defines you," she explained. "You’re very genetically blessed, and I’m happy for you, but who you are isn’t what you look like."

Still, she’s not complaining about the way he looks. Miranda said that she’s a "creeper" when it comes to her husband—and his eight-pack abs. "I creep on him doing things shirtless and use it for my own benefit," she said. Case in point:

All that said, Miranda has her own ways of staying healthy. For starters, she eats well. "I just literally would make grilled chicken breast, sweet potato salad. There was no miracle," she previously told Women’s Health after losing weight.

Miranda also said that she "hates" running, but she’s okay with run-walking, where she'll run for the length of a song, then walk for a song. She also does jumping jacks or runs up stairs. Just not, you know, at the gym.
