Carrie Underwood and a reason there's a
reason she's dressed like she's ready

is adding author to her resume she's
here for tune up Tuesday with some
fitness tips from her new book it's
called find your path honor your body
fuel your soul and get strong with the
fit 50 to life good to have you this boy
thank you for having me so in addition
to the book we've got a new app as well
we do it's a corresponding app that just
kind of takes the guesswork out of
working out you know your question
you've got in a way your book asks is
how do you find that that path to your
simple or more fit life how did you find
your path I started small I started
making swaps and little changes I
started learning how to read labels on
food because that's I feel like that's
something people don't really know how
to do I started doing a elliptical
that's kind of where it started you know
just doing something physical movement
and the better I started feeling about
myself the more I wanted to do and
started working out with Eve Overland
and she started putting weights in my
hands and that made me feel even even
better and it's just a part of my life
it's that thing that I do for myself and
everybody around me benefits from me
taking that little time 30 minutes 20
minutes an hour or whatever it is I feel
like my whole family and my friends and
my job benefits from me having that for
myself
Carrie we're all along different paths
at different times in our life how would
you describe the path you're on now and
how it differs from the path you're on
five years ago I mean I have two kids
now my oldest just turned five and my
youngest is one and I mean it's just
that balance it's school it's work it's
writing a book it's working out it's
making dinner it's buying groceries and
just juggling and I feel like that's
really what parents do
in general no matter what your job is no
matter how many kids you have like we're
all just juggling and trying to
figure it all out this 52 lifestyle what
is that it's a mindset first and
foremost it is all about kind of looking
at things from the bigger picture and
taking care of yourself and being good
working out and fueling up really well
most of the time but also enjoying life
because that's what it's all about you
can't have one without the other to me
and we have birthdays we have holidays
we have get-togethers and so many people
say like I've got ageing parents I've
got little kids I've got a full-time job
I can't fit it in and then they beat
themselves up over that yeah I mean it's
you you're guilty when you do and you're
guilty when you don't right so it's it's
really all about just carving out
whatever like I don't waste time you're
never gonna see me sitting around on the
couch doing anything well speaking of
that so these are simple workouts that
folks can do at home yes fifty-two we do
and you can okay well we're bending over
lunge will work out game that has 52
cards and each suit represents the
exercise and the number that you draw is
the number of reps so holy simple you
could do it where yeah yeah it makes it
fun you take you don't have to think
about it you're just like what's that
how long you work out every day it
depends on how long I got sure so you
make it fit so the first card I'm gonna
draw is a five our protocol is a
lower-body so we're gonna do five lower
body bandage squat tap outs so you're
gonna have to have a wardrobe change
unless you guys don't want to play to
modify down you don't have to use this
bandage I want to play you don't even
need a demo I love it yeah we're gonna
see any low in the squat and all you're
gonna do with this tap out to the side
four five are you just using this for
resistance right and it gives you
feedback on the way out on the way in
five on the right and
let me think you'd only do five on the
right and then five and now the next
exercise is diamonds where is our upper
body and we're gonna do a snaps so
you're gonna grab the dumbbell cut here
we go we'll do that nice solid
foundation roll your shoulders down the
back and all we're gonna do is bring our
arms out to the side and come on down
