American Idol winner Carrie Underwood reveals her doable slim down strategy for slimming down and getting healthy in the February issue of SHAPE.I can’t wait to find out how Carrie lost 20lbs!!!
She hired a personal trainer to help her figure out the best equipment for reaching her goals- and the proper way to use it. They started with an elliptical machine for cardio, a balance ball for ab work, and free weights to tone her arms and shoulders.
“We got really simple, basic stuff, because if it was complicated, I knew I wouldn’t have used it,” says Carrie.
“My favorite thing is cardio,” says Carrie. “It really helps the pounds melt off, and it gives me so much more energy. Now when I’m performing and running around the stage, it’s no big deal. Whereas before I was always gasping for breath. Working out has really paid off onstage.”
She also opened up about what it felt like to read bloggers call her chubby. Who would do that?! UGH!!
“I was heavier,” admits Carrie. “Still there’s nothing worse than going online and reading that someone called you chubby.I’m a performer, and yes, being in good shape is part of the package,” says Carrie. “But I don’t ever want to get neurotic about my weight. I feel healthy and I know I’m a good size for me. And that’s what’s important.”
with a personal trainer, anyone can lose all that weight. so vera, if u can afford it, go for it, satisfaction guaranteed!
She is too obsessed with her body and what she eats. She often sounds like she has an eating disorder (in other interviews). This is the 1st issue of Shape I have seen in awhile where they are covered up and not in a bikini.
it makes me nauseous that someone her size (she was NOT big when she was on idol.. bigger, sure, but she didnt need to lose anything) lost TWENTY lbs. society needs to chill out.
Boring!
