Country music superstar Carrie Underwood’s first book, FIND YOUR PATH: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life, is out now! On Monday, Underwood also launched her new fitness app, fit52, which is now available for download on iOS here. The app is part of a holistic wellness platform designed to encourage and support individuals on their personal wellness journey.
Throughout FIND YOUR PATH, Carrie opens up about her personal journey towards optimal health, from her passion for sports as a kid, to the pressure to look perfect and fit the mold as she launched her career, to eventually discovering the importance of balance and the meaning of true health. For the star, being fit isn’t about crash diets or a workout routine that you’re going to dread. It’s about healthy choices and simple meals that you can put together from the ingredients in your local grocery store, and making the time, every day, to move, to love your body, and to be the best version of yourself. “Health and fitness are something I am truly, deeply passionate about,” says Underwood, and urges readers of FIND YOUR PATH to do their best most of the time.” Her mantra is that fitness is a lifelong journey—not about perfection—and this book will set her fans on a path to health, and taking care of their bodies and souls, for life.
Like all of us, Carrie knows the struggle of trying to balance the demands of a household, a business, and a career against carving out time for herself. In FIND YOUR PATH, Carrie shares simple ideas for refocusing your energy and jump starting your fitness journey without feeling like you’re adding to the never-ending to-do list. All readers need is a deck of 52 playing cards and they’ll have unlocked the key to her fitness success! Each suit indicates an exercise and the number corresponds to the amount of reps. Using Carrie’s Fit52 workout, the routines are kept fresh and exciting making fitness a treat, not a chore. Plus, Carrie devotes an entire chapter to revealing the coveted workout that maintains her (second) most famous attribute—her legs!
She also shares her path from her early days in Checotah, Oklahoma and to American Idol and beyond, with chapters inspired by many of her hit songs including “Love Wins” (Getting Strong, Finding Balance and Prioritizing Body Love), “Play On” (introducing her Fit52 Workout), “The Champion” (Extracurricular Fitness for Wherever You Are) and “Before You Cheat,” in which she takes on Vice Management and Derailers. While FIND YOUR PATH is infused with wisdom and advice from Carrie’s own experiences, she also highlights helpful tips and tricks from her longtime personal trainer, Eve Overland, and her friend, nutritionist Cara Clark, providing readers with a personal and holistic view of her routine. Some insights include:
– Balance and sustainability: you don’t have to be perfect every day, just maintain a healthy lifestyle 52 weeks a year
– Stay accountable: track meals, workouts, and progress and you’ll be set up for success
– Simple swaps: make healthy switches for your favorite indulgences
– Falling in love with fitness and healthy, nourishing foods will make you feel better overall
Filled with beautiful, original photography by Cameron Premo, FIND YOUR PATH reinforces Carrie’s mantra that there’s no one way to be fit. There is no one diet to follow. There is no one place you must exercise. Healthy living is about options and personal choices, and like a deck of cards, you can take your pick as long as you get the results you want and feel good!
