Tim McGraw Reveals His Inspiration for Getting Healthier

Green Room PRTim McGraw is more in shape  than ever lately thanks to an intense workout regimen. The self-professed "gym rat" isn't getting the extra workouts in just to look good though.

Tim says,  "I just like being healthy.  I quit drinking four years ago because I wanted to be healthy, and because I wanted to be around for my grandkids."

Tim even hopes to meet his great-grandchildren some day.  He returns to his home state of Louisiana on Friday for a show at the Superdome in New Orleans as part of the Brothers of the Sun tour with Kenny Chesney.
