“I Want To Be One Of Those Grandmas”: Why Carrie Underwood’s Fitness Routine Is About Way More Than Just Looking Good On Stage
She’s the woman to take fitness advice from, that’s for sure. Carrie Underwood just launched her new brand HiNote, a women’s wellness brand designed for daily nutrition and fitness. In addition to the fitness app, the launched products like an energy drink mix, and of course, Carrie is super into working out and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and whatever she does certainly works… we’ve all seen her incredible legs.
But she doesn’t just do it for vanity reasons, as Carrie explained to Business Insider that she wants to be around for a long time, and hopefully in 20 or 30 years, she will be a fit grandma who still lives by herself and maintains her farm:
“The decisions that I’m making today are going to determine what my future looks like 20 or 30 plus years down the road. I want to be one of those grandmas someday that’s like ‘Nana still lives by herself, and she’s still got chickens, and she’s down there milking a cow.'”
It’s an admirable life goal, to be sure, and I have no doubt that will be her reality at some point…
Carrie also revealed some of her fitness secrets, saying that, while she does travel with equipment, she often just works out in her hotel room and takes every chance she can to be active:
“I’ve many a time worked out in my own hotel room using the app because it just takes the guesswork out of things. While I’m resting my legs, I’ll just pop down and do 20 push-ups.”
She also counts yard work as doing exercise, saying working on her 400-acre farm in Tennessee is part of her workout routine too:
“If there’s lots of work to do outside, I consider that my exercise. If I’m shoveling and planting stuff or picking stuff or whatever it is, that’s my workout, and I love it.”
She gardens and takes care of her many farm animals, and her family eats everything they grow on their farm too.
During an interview with Fox News Digital, Carrie says she could run a completely “self-sustained” home if she needed to, and if she had “all the time in the world,” she probably would. They have tons of farm animals and grow their own food, and her husband is also an avid hunter, so they wouldn’t really need to go to the grocery store for much:
“I think if I had to, I could be self-sustained at home. I love growing things. If I had all the time in the world, I would… not really need to go to the grocery store for too much.
But it’s a lot of fun. You know, I love our chickens. We have cows, we have sheep, we have donkeys. We have horses. I have my garden, and it’s a great way to connect with the earth. That’s my contribution to the family.”
They’re incredibly practical skills, but obviously it’s time consuming, and I’m sure Carrie is teacher her boys a lot of that stuff too which is really cool. But because they’re still pretty young, Carrie says that she still takes on a lot of the responsibilities, but they do have a farm manager who help take care of things while she travels for work:
“I feel like a lot of other responsibilities are mine. We have a farm manager who is wonderful… He’s taking care of my sheep while I’m gone. He looks after the horses and things like that. We do as much as we can, but I’m obviously not there all the time, and neither is my husband, so we do have help.”
It all sounds like an incredible escape from the business of her career in the music business, and it’s clearly working for her because Carrie’s probably the most fit person in country… I mean, those legs don’t lie:
