When it comes to physical fitness in the country music world, we all know that Tim McGraw is insanely shredded, Riley Green is pretty jacked, and Carrie Underwood is right up there with the best of them.
Especially, in the leg department… Tim might have the best abs in country music, but when it comes to legs, Queen Carrie all the way. I know it, you know it, the American people know it.
While looking good is important for country music singers, it actually pays to be in pretty good physical condition to keep your stamina up for a full two hour set. You’re running around up there, singing your ass off, maybe playing an instrument that requires more added movement (Carrie likes to wail on the drums for part of her set). With that being said, famed country star Carrie Underwood is giving us an opportunity to check out her quick and easy (well, easy to follow… easy to do might be a different story) leg workout routines that help her keep her looking shredded.
In partnership with her fitness app Fit52, Carrie is letting fans in on her workout secrets.
All you really need are some dumbbells, a bench or chair and some resistance bands to rip out some kickbacks, glute lifts, squats, deadlifts and more. And of course, you gotta maintain a good diet, get good sleep and lay off the booze if you wanna be shredded like Carrie and Tim, but as far as a quick leg workout goes… that’s all you need.
Carrie Underwood’s Son Works Out To ‘90s ‘Tae Bo’ DVD
You can always count on country music to take you back to the ‘90s.
But this morning in the most hilarious way possible, Carrie Underwood (with the help of her youngest son) took us straight back to Billy Blanks and the Tae Bo workout craze of that era, as little Jake followed one of the old fitness trainer’s DVDs through the steps.
Three-year-old Jake struggled a bit with the movements, as he’s in quite a young stage of developmental movement at his age, but he had the basic progressions down-pat as he followed Tae Bo’s instructions. At one point he even used his arms to try and manually lift his leg as high as Tae Bo.
Carrie, who apparently walked in on this funny scene, videoed from behind as she laughed along.
She later posted the video with a cute caption:
“Jake staring the day off right! The boys found one of my old Tae Bo DVDs in a box of things and Jake thought he’d have himself a little morning workout! I may soon have myself a gym buddy!”
