LOS ANGELES, May 28: Singer Carrie Underwood says she likes working out and secretly competes with other people in the gym as it keeps her motivated.
The 34-year-old singer, who has two-year-old son Isaiah with her husband Mike Fisher, says she does not put pressure on herself to do intense workouts anymore but admits she can not resist getting competitive, reported People magazine.
“I love just putting headphones in and going for a run. I feel so good when I get home, especially when it’s hot. I’m one of those weirdos that likes to run when it’s super hot outside!
“Or classes. I find myself competing with other people in the room. I’m like, ‘Oh she’s good, I want to be like her!’ I try to ‘beat’ someone in the class. They have no idea we’re competing!” Underwood says.
The country singer has recently launched her own fashion line and says using her own workout gear is extra motivation to hit the gym.
“I used to go to the gym in ratty old sweats, but if you already feel good going into your workout, it just kind of gives you that little extra lift,” she says. (PTI)
