Carrie Underwood is completely different since American Idol

Carrie Underwood always makes sure her tour diet and workouts give her the strength and vigor needed to carry her through her energetic shows. When touring for her Play On album in 2009, the Grammy-winning artist told WebMD all about her tour health secrets. “In our catering area we have this huge table of supplements for people — little things like vitamin C, echinacea, stuff like that because if one person gets a cold, everybody’s getting a cold,” she explained. 

The musician also squeezes in quick workouts to boost her mood. “If I can wake up and I go get a good cardio session in, a class at a gym nearby, or me on the treadmill, I’m happier throughout the day,” she explained. That same year, Underwood told Women’s Health she had taken on boxing, jumping rope and kettlebell workouts. “They don’t take up much space and work a lot of different muscles,” she noted.

Tour was not the only thing the “Cowboy Cassanova” singer was staying fit for in 2009. Underwood was preparing for her wedding to former professional hockey player Mike Fisher, which took place in 2010. Her fit physique earned her a spot on Fitness Magazine‘s best celebrity bodies list, where she got crowned “Best Bridal Body,” as Taste of Country noted.

Since becoming a wife, Underwood has also added “mom” to her list of impressive titles. Keep reading to find out how she managed to maintain her healthy lifestyle in the process.
