No Doubt take their personal trainers on tour.

The 'Don't Speak' rockers - who have recently reunited following a four-year hiatus - admit they are no longer able to cope with the rigours of being on the road unless they are fully fit.

Bassist Tony Kanal said: "We travel with two personal trainers. We're getting older and we can't party like we used to."

I was blocked and I needed to get inspired, and I thought playing live would get the creative juices flowing again

The group have to rely on professional fitness experts because they attract too much attention if they go to a gym.

Singer Gwen Stefani said: "I have to wear make-up to the gym because I get some dude doing sit-ups next to me and surreptitiously taking pictures."

Gwen - who has two sons Kingston, three, and 10-month-old Zuma, with husband Gavin Rossdale - also revealed the group are touring without any new material because she was too busy eating to write any songs.

She added to the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper: "Honestly, it's procrastination. My plan was to get pregnant and write a record, but instead of writing, I just ate all the time.

"Writing is always really hard for me - I hate it and hate it, and then I do it and I'm happy it's done. I was blocked and I needed to get inspired, and I thought playing live would get the creative juices flowing again."
