The electronic dance music deejay is always on the road. So he has to improvise when it comes to getting a workout.
Record producer and deejay Steve Aoki greets his enthusiastic fans in Las Vegas at the world premiere of the Viva Vision light show at the Fremont Street Experience earlier this month.
When you’re on the road up to 300 days a year and trying to stay fit, you have to be adaptable, says Steve Aoki. That's why the Grammy-nominated electronic dance music superstar, record producer and deejay of the recent smash hit “,” once found himself doing push-ups and burpees in the middle of a Polish cornfield at 3 a.m. — the only time he had to work out that day.
In March, after years of inventing dozens of workouts he could do anywhere at any time, the 41-year-old Las Vegas resident, known for rushing into the audience and"caking" a fan to charge up the crowd, released “Aoki Bootcamp,” a program on the NEOU digital fitness platform that features many of his homegrown workouts, done to his music, of course.
Why do you need fitness activities at all when your job involves running around onstage for two hours every night? I go all out at my shows, and noticed early on that I’d be running on empty at the end of them. Also, I was getting physical ailments, like shin splints. So about 10 years ago, I read the Ray Kurzweil anti-aging longevity book “Transcend” and thought, ”I’m pushing myself to the limits, doing a marathon 200-300 nights a year. Can I use his ideas to extend my stamina?" First, I tried yoga, and it made me feel better and even perform better.
