"We were workout buddies forever. It was what started it all.”
Before Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian shared their love for one another, they bonded over their love of working out.
Barker recently opened up to People about how prioritizing his mental and physical wellness is "critical" for everything he does. This lifestyle also led him to marrying Kardashian, with whom he shares baby son, Rocky Thirteen Barker.
“It's one of the main reasons we were so close," Barker said. "We would always work out together and run together or do stuff like that together before we were ever in a relationship — we were workout buddies forever. It was what started it all."

"I stole her shake from her," he says about stealing Kardashian's avocado shake recipe, "and I've just made that evolve a little bit and I made my own. We're both really into wellness. I introduced her to matcha back in the day. She's introduced me to particular foods.”
The Blink-182 drummer was even introduced to Kardashian's mostly vegan diet and said he is "happy to partake" in it.

View StoryAside from his shared wellness rituals with the Poosh founder, Barker also has his own regimen that helps with his energy levels and sleep, especially when he is performing at shows.
He says that he starts the day by "walking 30 minutes while I consume some sort of audiobook or podcast." He continued, "And I do the same thing at night because I've always struggled with sleeping, especially after shows when I'm wound up and hyper. I've just found wellness and working out is so critical for everything that I do."
He shared that his active lifestyle sparked his latest venture, launching Run Travis Run, a wellness event taking place on Saturday at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California and again at Citi Field in Queens, New York on July 21st.
