Can you believe there are only a couple weeks left in 2019? With a new decade rolling in, it can be a time to shake up old routines, try new workouts, and make resolutions [2]! POPSUGAR asked Carrie Underwood, country superstar and founder of CALIA by Carrie Underwood [3], which workouts she'll be leaving behind in 2019, and we found ourselves nodding along with her answer.
"I feel like the older I get, maybe the less hardcore cardio I do," she said. "I'm more into weightlifting [4] and just want to preserve my joints." As for the exercise in particular she'll be doing less of? "Jump squats and exercises that are a little more high-impact," she said. "In my early 20s, I just did cardio, cardio, cardio; now it's just a little more about weights."
In the new year, Carrie is focusing on continuing to challenge herself as she weight trains. "I don't know if I have any specific goals, I just always wanna be like, 'oh yeah, I lifted heavier today!' and feel good about that." Especially during the colder months, Carrie finds herself gravitating to workouts with heavier weights [5] and fewer reps. She said the winter is a time to "eat the carbs" and, more importantly, "to put the carbs to good use use building muscle [6]."

As for the outfits she'll be wearing during these colder months, Carrie is a fan of CALIA's cold weather tights [7]. "Honestly, anything long! Any of our long leggings are good to wear to the gym. It's great to have layering pieces [8]," she added. POPSUGAR got to preview the new collection, and we are also fans of the supersoft cold weather tights.
