Carrie Underwood is known for her powerful country singing voice, dozens of awards, and several multiplatinum albums. But aside from her unmistakable talent, Carrie is also known for being in pretty good shape. Specifically, her legs — whether on the red carpet or performing on stage, Carrie shows off her toned calves and quads and proves you are never too busy to get in a good workout.
But while you may think the secret to her strong legs is something complicated and strenuous, think again. Carrie shared her favorite leg exercises with POPSUGAR at the CALIA by Carrie Underwood Summer House event in East Hampton, and you can do them yourself at home. "[I] stick to the basics: squats, lunges, find a step and step up on it and hold a weight in your hand. Nothing complicated," she said. "We'll get fancy with the leg press or with the Smith machine every once in a while, but you don't need that." Carrie said she has a personal trainer she works out with when she's on the road, but for the most part, she works out on her own.
