American Idol winner and country superstar Carrie Underwood is in amazing shape and she has her trainer Eve Overland to thank for that. The two have been working together for over a decade and they even teamed up to create workouts for Underwood’s fitness app Fit52. Regardless of how busy the singer is, she always makes time for fitness. To maintain her full-body strength, Underwood swears by these five exercises.
Bodyweight Squat to Tuck Jump
Explosive moments are a key part of Underwood’s workouts and the bodyweight squat to tuck jump targets different muscle fibers while working on strength, power, control, and agility.
Walking Lunges
With squats and lunges, there are a ton of variations. Walking lunges are one of Underwood’s favorites and they build lower-body strength and improve balance.
Renegade Rows
Renegade moves challenge core stability by focusing on anti-rotation (performing each row without rotating your torso). This upper-body exercise also works the back and shoulders.
Biceps Curls
The singer loves bicep curls and whenever she can she’ll squeeze the exercise in. Bicep curls increase your arm strength.
Hanging Leg Raises
This core exercise can be done at a gym, on a playground, or with a pull-up bar at home. It’s a real burn that takes a lot of strength and endurance.
