The Naked Cowboy Reveals His Secret

Ever had that dream where you are standing in the middle of the street in just your underwear? Where most of us would call it a nightmare, the Naked Cowboy, is living this nightmare - BY CHOICE! Well, with a body like his, anyone would love to flaunt it. Would you dare? Read what he has to say to all the youngsters wanting to get a body like his.

The Naked Cowboy aka Robert Burck is not a person who can be missed even in the crazy crowd of the Times square. This 37 year old can be spotted standing on Times Square on any given day in just his tighty whities (with Naked Cowboy printed on the back), boots and his cowboy hat.

Wow, look at those abs and well toned body! He shares the secret to his - ‘ripped to the bone physique', as he likes to call it. He believes exercising is fun and does not like to call it ‘tedious'. "Once you do that, you'll be pitting against what you'd rather be doing, and a kingdom that is divided cannot stand", says Robert. He lifts weights daily and then runs for nearly two hours.

Naked, as he likes to be referred to, goes on to say "Any improvement you make to your body will wash into the other areas of your life, because when you feel better, you are better". Apparently, Robert has trademarked the Naked Cowboy signature look with his underwear as the only piece of clothing and a hat, boots and guitar as accessories. This can only mean one thing - he feels good about himself to the extent of wanting to trademark his look, he looks good and is doing pretty good for himself. He stays in a hotel in the city and drives an SUV.

"I was a little bit chunky in fifth grade," he recalls. "One day, I went running and I sweat. I felt like an adult. So I started running every day. Now, this long-distance runner participates regularly in New York City marathons.

This 199 pounds 6 feet 3 inches tall fella wants to remain fit way for the rest of his life. "Why settle for what's reasonable? If you want to have an unbelievable body, then you should strive for an unbelievable body." And that is not all - he wants to be the most celebrated philanthropist, the best-built man in the entire world and the most celebrated entertainer ever.

He loves being able to be with everyone at once, to be completely at peace in the world. It's a challenge when you're both naked and a cowboy and playing for people out on the streets of Manhattan!

I've seen this guy in Manhattan many times. I like your article...it gives him more substance (mentally, that is)lol...seems like he's not just a nut-job after all! (oh, and I'd exchange "paychecks" with him any day!)

Cool article!

Interesting, I wonder why he doesn\'t get written up for indecent exposure? I\'m surprised the policemen let him walk around in his briefs.

Ruby raises a good question! I would not like trying to explain this to my kids if we happen to cross..

Yikes, he really has to be dedicated to his ... ah ... "cause?" to be out in the snow undressed that way.

There is one thing being fit, a totally different thing altogether - going naked!

I understand why he want to stay healthy, but he's not really super muscular, is he? His back view is not that impressive, as he's got love handles.

Entertaining article!

eww... you tricked me- LOL! I thought I was going to get to see a real cowboy. Trust me I am married to a cowboy....and this guy aint one.

I have seen this guy on FOX News. He is always getting involoved in politics....he sounds like a real goober.

HAHAHAHA, I was so worried that I was going to run into him when I was taking some older relatives (you know who I mean Rookie...) around Times Square...how embarrassing when you're with family but how hilarious when you're with friends!

Thank you girls and RJ for your comments.
When i saw him at times square, I was shocked and intrigued at the same time. I had been confused and still am if I like this guy and respect his thoughts or still think he's a bit weird. :) All i can say is he is entertaining!
#13 by Paula Mitchell-Bentley, Oct 27, 2008
Wow, I think he's awesome! I wouldn't be embarassed about my kids seeing him at all. The world takes all kinds! It's good for kids to be raised to understand that and to accept, and even enjoy, the differences between us. Great article, keep 'em coming!

It takes guts to do that although with the best of body!
Seems like a fitness freak like me!
Here's my piece of mind on fitness..

"What a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever being able to see the beauty and strength of which his body is capable of".. what say...

By the way this was an entertaining article for me. Thanks a lot!!
