Personal Trainer
Both he and his brother, Seth Meyers, are in great physical shape, and possibly share a similar workout routine. Josh learned from his brother that lack of sleep is detrimental to both physical and mental health, so he tries to get at least 7 hours of sleep every night.
And just as his brother, Josh does weight training 2 to 3 times a week, but also a lot of cardio by running, taking a walk or a hike, or riding a bike outside whenever possible. He is no stranger to taking a breather for a while and does enjoy light, flavored beer such as Somersby. Josh also allows himself a cheat meal or two at least 1 to 2 times a week.
