Eddie Howe has become a fully paid-up devotee of the stress-busting benefits of pumping iron.

But the modest Newcastle boss insists there'll never be any danger of mistaking him for Arnold Schwarzenegger, after lifting the lid on his novel way of helping to cope with the 24/7 pressure of Premier League management.

Regular gym sessions for most people are at best a chore, but Howe relishes his regular early-morning work-outs at the club's Darsley Park training base.

Many of his top flight counterparts appear to have the weight of the world on their shoulders, and the 45-year-old admits he can find it hard to relax given the all-consuming nature of the job.
