Joe wears many hats in his career, and the same goes for his workout regimen. On his show with Henry Rollins in the summer of 2018, Joe spoke to the diversity of his exercise schedule. “There are some things that I really have to do. I think I need at least one day of hard cardio a week, and I think I need at least one day of hard lifting weights a week, but I also think I need at least one day of yoga a week, at least.”
Yoga is perhaps one of the more surprising things on the list, but Joe says it’s one of the most important things that he does, speaking to the peace and meditation aspect of it.
He does hot yoga for 90 minutes at 104 degrees and has talked about how it’s incredibly hard to go through, but once it’s done, you feel better. “I just feel like, for a guy like you or I who used to do a lot of heavy lifting, deadlifts, and squats, this is the antidote for all that stuff. It’s decompression, and for your body maintenance, it’s just phenomenal.”
If you’re reading this and are skeptical about how intense and/or rewarding hot yoga could really be, the following quote from Joe should shatter that perception. “It fucking sucks. While you’re doing it, the internal dialogue is crazy. You wanna bolt, but you also start going over your life and your mind and dealing with all your bullshit and your to-do list and all the things you’re doing wrong… There’s something about really struggling in these static positions… Sweat is literally pouring off your arms and your head. There’s something about it that’s really cleansing.”
