Personal Trainer

He goes to the gym regularly. Good body can be achieved if you aim for it, but it would be short-lived. On the contrary, if working out is a part of one’s lifestyle, then good body can be maintained for longer. This is what Eric Dane believes. In his own words –

“Going to the gym and looking for a specific result is a short-lived existence, as opposed to going to the gym and adopting it as a lifestyle.”

Eric eats whatever he wants to have. He actually makes an exceptional omelet and good chicken soup.

He does weight lifting three times a week. He told to Men’s Health that he does not like to sweat.
