Speaking to the fitness magazine, Underwood explained that she has always believed in workouts. Even though she and her husband have been swamped, she always finds the time to hit the gym.
The singer also explained that she was a bit lucky with her weight when she had her second child, Isaiah. In part, she said:
"After I had Isaiah... I was lucky: I gained only 30 pounds, which is the recommended amount, and I exercised throughout my pregnancy."
Underwood highlighted that she faced a bit of a challenge due to her C-Section. This birthing method meant that she couldn't work out for six weeks after her delivery.
However, she didn't waste any time as soon as she got the clearance to exercise again. It was straight to the gym for her. Underwood's weight loss journey extends beyond just her pregnancy period.
Underwood eventually stopped the supplements and went with a healthy exercise regimen.
According to reports, she once explained that she was at her heaviest while on reality TV competition "American Idol." At the time, Underwood had begun taking weight loss supplements, as she believed them to be the cure.
The singer pointed out that she wasn't eating well, as she didn't even know the right things to eat. Between the supplements and starving herself, it all became too much.
