Michael Jackson : Underweight Jacko too weak for workouts
- 1 Comment
Michael Jackson is trying hard to build up his stamina for the upcoming London Gig and has roped in a personal trainer in a bid to get in shape for his comeback tour in London.
The King of Pop has roped in actor Lou Ferrigno, the TV superhero, as his personal trainer. Reports have revealed that ex-Mr Universe Lou, 57, has been making secret visits to the singer’s Los Angeles mansion to help him improve his fitness for dance routines at London’s O2 this summer.
However, sources have said that underweight Jacko is took weak to undergo gruelling workouts, and refuses to lift weights.
“Lou has been visiting Michael to build him up so he can perform his dance routines,” British tabloid The Sun quoted a source as saying.
The source added: “But Jacko refuses to lift weights. He doesn’t want to bulk up.”
The ‘Thriller’ star is battling skin cancer, and is terrified that piling on the pounds could ruin his chance of beating the killer disease.
Jacko and Lou became pals after the superstar worked out at the actor’s gym in 2007. Previously, bodybuilder Lou said of the ‘Beat It’ singer: “Michael is more delicate. Our trainer conditioned him for dancing. He likes me – he feels safe with me, he feels protected. He was nervous about people looking
at him when he was training.”
Jackson was diagnosed with cancer last month, and has already undergone painful shave biopsies on his chest, arm and nose to remove potentially lethal growths.
The opening night of his This Is It tour were pushed to July 13 and promoters have booked him for 50 shows.

[...] No doubt, Jackson’s rehearsals and performances over the past 40 years were grueling (he’d once broken a vertebra and leg from a fall on the stage). For his upcoming 50-show world tour, Ferrigno was reportedly making secret visits to Jackson’s Los Angeles mansion to help him work on his fitness for dance routines. But some sources report Jackson — who once rehearsed the famous moonwalk dance sequence for four hours until it felt like second nature — would not lift weights. [...]
