Carrie Underwood’s first book, FIND YOUR PATH: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life, is on sale today (Dey Street Books).  Underwood kicked of a multi-city promo tour on Monday in Brooklyn, NY, with upcoming events in Stamford, CT; Nashville, TN and Los Angeles, CA, all of which sold out in under a minute.  She will take over the NBC airwaves on March 3 with appearances on the 8:00, 9:00 and 10:00 AM hours of “The Today Show” and will appear on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” on March 6, followed by “Rachael Ray” on March 9, among other national broadcasts. Underwood also graces the covers of Women’s Health and Parade Magazine, with additional print and online coverage in InStyle, People, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, and more.

On the eve of the publication of the book, Underwood also launched her new fitness app, fit52, on March 2, which is now available for download on iOS. Created in partnership with Creative Labs and leading entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the fit52 app is part of a holistic wellness platform designed to encourage and support you on your personal wellness journey and make it easier for you to find your path to a stronger, healthier you.  Additionally, March marks her 5th Anniversary as founder and lead designer of her fitness and lifestyle brand, CALIA by Carrie Underwood, which launched in 2015 and is exclusively available at DICK’S Sporting Goods nationwide and online at calia.com.

Since winning American Idol in 2005, millions have come to admire Carrie Underwood for her tremendous talent, down-to-earth style, and dedication to health and fitness. As a multi-Platinum award-winning singer, songwriter, and lifestyle entrepreneur, it’s easy to see why fans not only eagerly anticipate each new album, but also closely follow what she does to stay fit – tracking her workouts and healthy eating tips on social media. And with her debut book, FIND YOUR PATH, Carrie shares with readers a sustainable, common-sense approach to staying active, eating well, and looking as beautiful as you feel.

Throughout FIND YOUR PATH, Carrie opens up about her personal journey towards optimal health, from her passion for sports as a kid, to the pressure to look perfect and fit the mold as she launched her career, to eventually discovering the importance of balance and the meaning of true health. For Carrie, being fit isn’t about crash diets or a workout routine that you’re going to dread. It’s about healthy choices and simple meals that you can put together from the ingredients in your local grocery store, and making the time, every day, to move, to love your body, and to be the best version of yourself. “Health and fitness are something I am truly, deeply passionate about,” says Underwood, and urges readers of FIND YOUR PATH to “do their best most of the time.” Her mantra is that fitness is a lifelong journey—not about perfection—and this book will set her fans on a path to health, and taking care of their bodies and souls, for life.

Like all of us, Carrie is constantly on the move. Whether its touring for her latest album, scrambling after her 5 and 1-year-old sons, or her role as lead designer of CALIA By Carrie Underwood, she knows the struggle of trying to balance the demands of a household, a business, and a career against carving out time for herself. In FIND YOUR PATH, Carrie shares simple ideas for refocusing your energy and jump starting your fitness journey without feeling like you’re adding to the never-ending to-do list. All readers need is a deck of 52 playing cards and they’ll have unlocked the key to her fitness success! Each suit indicates an exercise and the number corresponds to the amount of reps. Using Carrie’s Fit52 workout, the routines are kept fresh and exciting making fitness a treat, not a chore. Plus, Carrie devotes an entire chapter to revealing the coveted workout that maintains her (second) most famous attribute—her legs!

She also shares her path from her early days in Checotah, Oklahoma and to American Idol and beyond, with chapters inspired by many of her hit songs including “Love Wins” (Getting Strong, Finding Balance and Prioritizing Body Love), “Play On” (introducing her Fit52 Workout), “The Champion” (Extracurricular Fitness for Wherever You Are) and “Before You Cheat,” in which she takes on Vice Management and Derailers. While FIND YOUR PATH is infused with wisdom and advice from Carrie’s own experiences, she also highlights helpful tips and tricks from her longtime personal trainer, Eve Overland, and her friend, nutritionist Cara Clark, providing readers with a personal and holistic view of her routine. Some insights include:

•  Balance and sustainability: you don’t have to be perfect every day, just maintain a healthy lifestyle 52 weeks a year
• Stay accountable: track meals, workouts, and progress and you’ll be set up for success
• Simple swaps: make healthy switches for your favorite indulgences
• Falling in love with fitness and healthy, nourishing foods will make you feel better overall

Filled with beautiful, original photography by Cameron Premo, FIND YOUR PATH reinforces Carrie’s mantra that there’s no one way to be fit. There is no one diet to follow. There is no one place you must exercise. Healthy living is about options and personal choices, and like a deck of cards (which Carrie uses in the Fit52 workout), you can take your pick as long as you get the results you want and feel good!

Community-Powered Wellness Platform Coincides With the Publication of Underwood’s New Fitness and Lifestyle book, FIND YOUR PATH

On the eve of the publication of her first book, FIND YOUR PATH: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life, Carrie Underwood announces the launch of her new fitness app, fit52, which is now available for download on iOS. Created in partnership with Creative Labs and leading entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the fit52 app is part of a holistic wellness platform designed to encourage and support you on your personal wellness journey and make it easier for you to find your path to a stronger, healthier you.

From the launch of her CALIA By Carrie Underwood line of athleisure wear five years ago, to writing FIND YOUR PATH and now creating fit52, Underwood embraces a fresh and balanced approach to fitness and health which resonates with those who are juggling a busy lifestyle, a career and/or family and are looking for inspirational routines that are simple to do anytime, anywhere. By collaborating with her longtime personal trainer, Eve Overland, users of fit52 can expect a wide variety of workout routines that can be done in as little as 30 minutes.

Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or looking for a fresh new workout to replace your same old routine, fit52 gives you the tools you need to succeed on your own terms and feel good doing it. fit52 can be downloaded for free on iOS. Annual subscriptions are just $1 a week or $52 a year!
“Fitness is a true passion for me,” says Underwood. “The fit52 app incorporates what I’ve been doing myself for years, and we’ve made it easy and totally accessible for anyone that wants help to work in working out. We worked really hard to create a high-quality, user-friendly app that is designed for busy people and their busy lives. fit52 meets you wherever you are on your health journey, and I’m so proud of it.”
Much like her new book, the fit52 app focuses on a sustainable, common-sense approach to staying active, and looking as beautiful as you feel, 24/7, 52 weeks of the year. With fit52, every workout is different and based on the hand of virtual playing cards you are dealt. Each card demonstrates an exercise and number of reps, randomly revealed to provide a full-body workout. For the award-winning singer – who is known for her passion for fitness as well as her powerhouse voice — she wants users to utilize these tools to help them reach their full wellness potential.

“Many people are motivated to achieve their fitness goals by working out with friends. Yet most fitness apps are targeted at solo workouts, said Pauline Moller, CEO at Creative Labs. “When Carrie came to us with this concept, we saw a great opportunity to create a platform that is fun, community-focused and relieves the burden of over-complicated programs that align with people’s schedules and motivations. We are incredibly excited to work with Carrie to develop this program further!”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Global superstar Carrie Underwood celebrated the RIAA Platinum certification of her latest album, Cry Pretty, as well as, four certified singles from the album this past Friday in Nashville. Following her CRS (Country Radio Seminar) Artist Interview at the Omni Hotel, Underwood was surprised onstage with a Platinum plaque from UMG Nashville CEO & Chairman, Mike Dungan, and President, Cindy Mabe, for her sixth studio album and the first she co-produced alongside David Garcia.

“Cry Pretty is an album of risk and boundary pushing,” shares Cindy Mabe. “Carrie put her whole heart, raw emotion and personal story into writing, producing and releasing the music from this album for the world to see behind the curtains. Cry Pretty is Carrie’s artistic evolution and provides a chance for fans to see her at her most vulnerable and raw, so celebrating Platinum status is such an incredible gift that proves big risk gives way to big reward.”

When surprised with the Platinum plaque by Dungan and Mabe, Underwood said, “This means a lot, because I feel like this is the project that I’ve done, and the album that I’ve done, that is the most ‘me.’ I’m honored and I’m humbled, and God is good.”

The critically-acclaimed album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, cementing her place in history as the only woman to land four country albums at the top of the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The album was the best-selling all-genre female debut in 2018 and she continues to hold the record as RIAA’s #1 certified female artist for Digital Singles. Four singles from Cry Pretty have also been certified by the RIAA including the Platinum-certified “The Champion” and the Gold-certified “Cry Pretty,” “Love Wins” and “Southbound.”

NPR declared that Cry Pretty “…pushes her creative boundaries and leans into modern R&B, while retaining the Oklahoma singer-songwriter’s country roots,” while Rolling Stone lauded Underwood as “Arena country’s mightiest voice, as Cry Pretty reaffirms.” Entertainment Weekly called the album, “Her most emotionally accessible work to date” and USA Today stated, “she has never sounded better than on Cry Pretty.”

On March 3, HarperCollins/Dey Street Books will publish Carrie’s first book, FIND YOUR PATH: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life, a fitness lifestyle book in which she shares her belief that fitness is a lifelong journey. Underwood’s goal is to provide a common-sense approach to staying active, eating well, and looking as beautiful as you feel, 52 weeks a year.
