    Kid Rock Turns To Surf Legend Laird Hamilton For Training Tips

    Kid Rock has found a tough new trainer in surfing legend Laird Hamilton.

    The Born Free hitmaker started working out with superfit Hamilton when he discovered the bronzed hunk was his neighbour in Malibu, California - and the two have become close friends.

    Rock, real name Bob Ritchie, admits Hamilton's pool work-outs with weights and golfballs really help him battle hangovers the morning after wild parties.

    He tells Men's Journal magazine, "Laird's running the show. He's the guy yelling at you the whole time... He leaves me alone a little bit because he knows I'm the skinny kid in the rock band, but he's real fun to work out with."

    And Hamilton admits he's very fond of his new pal: "He has all the traits I respect and admire."

    The pair's work-outs include lifting weights from the bottom of Hamilton's pool and standing on golfballs.

    The surfer says. "It (standing on golfballs) hurts like s**t, but it'll light up your nervous system."

Wait I walked in on my priest at the rectory for a group meeting and he said that he was doing his calastedics when he ran down the steps in a white tee shirt, black priest pants and moccasins. I was like," What's a calastedic?" " Is it a dessert?" Then he ate the hot wings I brought.....Guess that blew his workout out for the nite! Ha,ha,ha!

I love water areobics myself. Working out in the water is awsome and good for your joints. I just caught wind of Kid hanging out in my neck of the woods via my local mechanic.....He saw the plate of my car and told me of a camp where Kid goes near where I'm from with a local rocker named Norm Nardene. I had a distant cousin in that band. My mechanic said it's a secret location but has been there when Kid was there......I'm on the PROWL! Or on the HUNT! Malibu is too far away!

I must believe that his heart is and always will be with Michigan. He wouldn't pull a Lebron James and leave those who love him for the "celebrity" life. He was born and raised in Romeo, built a career in Detroit, and raised his son here. He does so much for this state and its people; especially Detroit. But, I do understand that he has houses in other places (Malibu and Nashville) for vacations, music writing, hanging out with friends, etc. Lots of people have vacation homes. Michigan is where his heart is!

All sounds not quite right...I chose a trainer of the opposite sex when I was a in the 82nd Airborne. A bit more fun...Jillian??? Hangovers??? No way? If it would happen would not admit to anyone...Malibu??? Been to both oceans as a Wisconsinite and would still rather sit on the Great Lakes anyday!!! Actually heading up to Miners Beach in 3 wks and to Crisp Point Lighthouse to do volunteer work and lots of partying with our U.P. buddies. I think this article was about somebody else. Love you Michigan!!! Love you Kid!!! Your music will be the whole trip!!!
