NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Carrie Underwood, the country superstar who once sang for Jesus to take the wheel, is now in full control of her fitness routine. According to her trainer Eve Overland, the 40-year-old singer is "the most dedicated, consistent human being," who puts in 100 percent of her being into everything she does, whether in or out of the gym. "She's very focused, motivated, and she's always in a good mood," Eve added.

Eve further shared that their workout sessions have evolved over the 13 years they've worked together, but the primary focus has always been on strength training. "She's at that point where she's so completely sculpted and conditioned," Eve explained before adding, "So now I'm working on the detail." Carrie's dedication to her fitness has paid off, and her hard work is evident in her toned physique. Through their partnership with Bodyarmor Lyte, Carrie and Eve hope to inspire others to prioritize their health and wellness.

Inside the country star's workout routine

During their 90-minute workouts, Eve, Carrie's trainer, guides the singer through basic compound lifts such as squats, deadlifts, rows, and presses because "they work and they give you the most bang for your buck, no matter what age you are." As Carrie turned 40 on March 10, her focus is on movement mindfulness. "Is it going to take us through our day-to-day life as we grow older, to pick up groceries, to lift up your children? What is going to keep us in the game as long as possible?" Eve remarked.

While Carrie often goes for runs after their workouts to prepare herself to perform, her focus is on lifting weights and going heavy. If you're looking to sculpt your legs like Carrie's famously toned stems, be prepared to put in the work, with Eve emphasizing that "everyone is built differently" and that the Grammy winner has been steadily training for more than a decade. Proper hydration is another essential aspect of their routine, which was the focus of the workout event that Eve and Carrie hosted on March 12 in Los Angeles with Bodyarmor Lyte. Eve recommended sipping on the drink throughout the workout and then replenishing it after a higher-intensity sweat session.

Sports drink maker Bodyarmor announced that it had enlisted seven-time Grammy award-winning singer Carrie Underwood as its first celebrity endorser in 2021 in a move to expand its appeal. Under the deal, the country music superstar received an undisclosed equity stake in the company and appeared in Bodyarmor Lyte's first-ever television campaign alongside James Harden. Apart from her collaboration with the sports drink brand, Underwood has also made significant strides in the fitness industry. She launched CALIA by Carrie Underwood, a workout apparel line created exclusively for Dick's Sporting Goods almost eight years ago, which has since become the second most popular women's brand for the retailer. In addition, Underwood teamed up with her longtime personal trainer Eve Overland to introduce FIT52, a fitness app that reflects her passion for an active lifestyle.
