January 15, 2008 - You can find Carrie Underwood gracing the cover of the February issue of Shape Magazine. Inside, she talks about her doable slim down strategy for slimming down and getting healthy.

She hired a personal trainer to help her figure out the best equipment for reaching her goals- and the proper way to use it. They started with an elliptical machine for cardio, a balance ball for ab work, and free weights to tone her arms and shoulders. "We got really simple, basic stuff, because if it was complicated, I knew I wouldn't have used it," says Carrie.

"My favorite thing is cardio," says Carrie. "It really helps the pounds melt off, and it gives me so much more energy. Now when I'm performing and running around the stage, it's no big deal. Whereas before I was always gasping for breath. Working out has really paid off onstage."

Carrie will really be able to tell the difference on her upcoming co-headlining tour with Keith Urban, and her own headlining tour in February. She's going to be one busy girl!
