Carrie’s success is due to unwavering commitment and dedication each day and all 52 weeks of the year. Yes, Carrie has a personal trainer and mobile gym (while on tour) to keep her on track, but you can adopt some of her habits and integrate them into your own workout flow at no cost to you. Below is a selection of tips and ideas that you can nab for your own use.
Her personal trainer Erin Oprea has helped the country superstar stay fit, despite her busy schedule. During quarantine, Carrie has been working out with her hubby Mike Fisher and she appears to be in the best shape of her life. Opera says that Underwood is capable of tackling very intense workouts with heavy weights. She aims for variability in the star’s routines, so she gets the most out of her gym time.
“Carrie’s workouts change quite a bit, sometimes she goes heavier. But not always, some days we do no weights, and we do plyometric-based stuff like jumping and tabatas,” Oprea stated in a prior interview. “It’s really fun to see her change over the years — I’ve known Carrie for nine years now. She’s a rockstar, and really, it takes hard works and discipline to reach your goals. Put those two together and you’ll hit it!”
Carrie Underwood Fitness with Kids
On days when Underwood can’t make it to the gym, she tries to be as active as possible. Having two sons that are full of energy makes one form of daily workout. Carrie’s 2nd son (Jacob Fisher) was born January 21, 2019. As the mother of two boys, Carrie stays in remarkable shape.
“I’m going to be honest, “bouncing back” after having Jacob has been much more difficult than after I had Isaiah and I’ve been pretty hard on myself lately. I go into the gym and I can’t run as fast or as far. I can’t lift as much weight or do as many reps as I could a year ago. I just want to feel like myself again…for my body to feel the way that I know it can. As I was working out today, I realized that for the past 11(ish) months, my body has not belonged to me. It was a perfect home for Jacob. And even now it belongs to him every time he drinks his milk. As I prepare for red carpets and for life on tour, right now I make a promise to myself to start appreciating what my body CAN do and stop focusing on what it can’t. I promise to stop analyzing every angle and every curve and every pound and every meal. I’m going to keep staying the path because it is a journey and as long as I’m always working towards my goals, one day I’ll reach them. I’m going to take it day by day, smile at the girl in the mirror, and work out because I love this body and all it has done and will continue to do!”
Find Your Path Book and Carrie Underwood Fitness App
Carrie also released her first book, FIND YOUR PATH: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life. Underwood also launched a 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!
Trainer Tony Greco, who has worked with both Underwood and her husband Mike Fisher in the past, revealed some smart diet tips with Shape magazine. He revealed that Carrie maintains a balanced diet of protein, carbs, and fats. She also avoids eating out, even while on tour.
“Have a protein the size of the palm of your hand, 2 cups of green veggies, and a handful of almonds, macadamia nuts, or walnuts with every meal,” Greco advises others. We know that the songbird is 100% dedicated to healthy eating, but Greco insists that a little “cheating” is allowed once in awhile. “Just have it before noon so it gives your body enough time to burn the extra calories,” Greco explains.
It is also important to note that Underwood has gone mostly vegan after being a vegetarian for several years. She’s also kept food journals for years in order to track her nutrition. Her level of dedication is pretty impressive and the results speak for themselves. Carrie is considered a vegetarian diet as she does eat some dairy products and eats eggs from her very own farm raised chickens.
Calia by Carrie is the clothing line Carrie is behind and it is designed to be versatile for women on the go. One of the highlights include being able to wear it to the gym then to meet up with friends afterwards. Underwood’s fitness apparel line targets all women, from runners to yogis to everything in between. “I created Calia to make it easier for me and all other women to work in working out,” says Carrie. The clothes feature stylish trends like breathable mesh, multiple straps, concealed pockets, and laser-cut details.
