Darius Rucker's Trainer Motivates Him By Making Fun of His Legs

Darius Rucker revealed to Taste of Country Nights that he gets bursts of motivation from his trainer — by way of her making fun of his legs.

The newly engaged country star admitted, as he walked slowly into the studio, that his legs were still sore. “I hate leg day,” he said. “It was two days ago and it hurts so bad.”

In a past interview, host Evan Paul asked why he hates leg day so much, and the “Wagon Wheel” singer had a pretty good reason. “I dunno — because my trainer came to my show and she sat in the back and she said, ‘I can’t even see your legs. It’s like you were floating,’” he explained with a laugh.

Rucker gave us that warm, deep laugh that we love so much as he explained how he asked his trainer, “I was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ So she makes me do leg day.”
