Washington, Apr 28 : Rapper Eminem’s obsession with treadmill has forced him to reduce his daily workout regime.

The ‘health conscious’ crooner took over treadmill to shed the extra pounds he gained while on a hiatus from his career.

However, he pushed himself so far that he had to take a break from his regime when he found himself clocking up 17 miles (27 kilometres) a day.

"I''ve been running a lot, taking care of myself. A lot of cardio. I''m actually at the point where I think I''ve been a little obsessive compulsive about running on a treadmill,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

“Yeah, it got up to four miles a day, then it got up to six, then I got up to 10, then I got up to 15, then I got up to 17, and I had to take a break,” he added. (ANI)
