Find Your Path: Carrie Underwood's Journey to Optimal Health, Embracing the Fit52 Lifestyle, and Balancing Fame, Fitness, and Family in the Heart of Country Music

Dear Carrie and anyone thinking about reading Find Your Path,As a Christian, wife, mother, author, teacher, and runner, I want to say THANK YOU to Carrie Underwood for this phenomenal book. Yes, it arrived yesterday and I read every bit of it before bedtime. That says a lot with my hectic schedule.Carrie does an amazing job of keeping it real, not making excuses, focusing on what you enjoy and moving forward. I love the Fit52 philosophy and truth be told, I’ve been on the struggle bus since my last half marathon in November. I just wasn’t feeling the same ole morning routine- get up before work at 4:30, run to the dang fire station uptown and head home to start the day. Those 5 miles were turning into something else on my list and were dreadful even if I LOVE the girls I run with.So, I did what I needed to do. I took a break, enjoyed sleeping until 6:30 when I’d frantically jump out of bed, hurry Carlee to get ready and fly out the door. Guess what y’all? That’s not working either. Not to mention, I’m dreaming all the time and can tell you all about them. Did y’all know that angelica root is a way to evade vampires? For real! That’s what my brain is doing at night.This book isn’t a fix all, but it is one to show that even with a hectic everyday mama life you can move more, make better choices, and feel like you aren’t alone. For me, this has been my struggle since I sub 2 my first half marathon, ran a full a year later and didn’t BQ as expected, and within a month was diagnosed with Mold Toxicity due to my classroom environment which left me barely able to run a mile. But y’all know I don’t give up easily, and I pushed to run the half this past November and shocked a few folks that I survived those 13.1. (It wasn’t easy and it was the hardest race I’ve ran in my life because I’m still on the mend.)I had Find Your Path and another health book, Run to the Finish, both arrived together yesterday. Knowing that Carrie is strong in her faith, one of my favorite country music stars, and puts her family first, I dove in. It filled my cup in more than one way, and the funniest part is that during my struggles, I wrote a book that my agent, Stephanie, has been shopping. This book focused on allergy friendly foods, the rat race to keep up with social media, always being perfect, getting tired of the same ole crap day in and out, but it also shows what happens when you get outside and notice the little moments in life. It really made me think about what Carrie talks about in Find Your Path. Get outside, enjoy the moments you have to move, be present with who matters most, and it hit home. Now, the funny part of this is… In this novel, the main character has to run in Nashville and who ends up running beside her in this race? You guessed it, Carrie. I couldn’t help but get tickled. I tell you this not to push my books (but if Harper Collins wants to reach out I’m game. LOL,) but to show that she’s as true and genuine as I believed and imagined.Carrie Underwood is a strong role model in my house. My daughter, Carlee, adores her and this mama does too! I won’t ever forget Carlee’s face when she received tickets for her birthday to travel to Nashville to see her perform for the second time. She saw her previously in Charlotte, NC when she was 4. It’s by far been one of the most memorable concerts for our family… and we’re some country music concert fools. LOLCarrie, thank you for pouring your heart out with your struggles that we all face because in this world, we need to know we aren’t alone. Your kindness and faith shine through in everything you do. I admire your ability to keep your family life private and be the best mother and wife you can for your family. You truly are an inspiration to this mama who at one point thought she had to do all the things, but has realized life is more enjoyable when you fill your cup, spend some time with God, get outside, and spend the little moments with the ones that matter most.With love and mason jars,Casey Peeler

I had been meaning to get her book and I’m almost done with it already!! It’s STUNNING! , very well thought out and the pictures of course BEAUTIFUL! I’d recommend this book to anyone looking to get fit and a bit healthier.as you can see I’m almost done with reading it 😊

I'm glad I read this book. It took me awhile to get through it, because there was a lot of good info. I still have notes to refer back to.I read it in the spring. Several months later, it's cool to see how I've grown this past year (in great part) thanks to applying some of Carrie's suggestions. My lifestyle and mindset are much healthier.

I was looking for a book of encouragement in my health struggles, and I came across Carries book. I read the sample and decided this sounded like what I was looking for. I don't know too much about Carrie Underwood except that she won American Idol and the songs I've heard, I love her voice. This book to me is an encouraging life journey offering help and encouragement to live a healthy lifestyle that is God, love and healthy living. Exercise being a huge part of that to build up and strengthen our bodies so that we can function happily with energy in any area of life that we endeavor. I'm thankful I found this book and that it is encouraging me where I need encouragement at this time in my life and I love hearing her story and I love that she is so down to earth and personable. And I love all the pics. (And sorry Carrie, but I giggled through why you stopped eating beef and would never want to stop eating meat myself, but as you say everyone has to do what works for them and that would just not work for me). I do hope to find a trainer, though money is a factor in that, but I will keep that hope strong and work towards it because I can really see how having the help to exercise correctly and meal plan correctly can really make the difference and I want that difference in my life so badly. I'm sure for me personally strengthening my body like Carrie talks about would help my body heal and work properly so we wouldn't have to spend so much money on supplements that are helping my body to work properly as best as possible right now. I am enjoying your book Carrie and so thankful I found it!

I loved the book ! A Huge fan of Country Music and of Carrie Underwood!! Her book is wonderful! Love how she shows the excerises. And how she uses a deck of 52 cards . To show her Fit52 how she does . I read through the library Rental until my book arrived which it did today 8/5/22!! Now I will work on and with my book !! Great Job!!Thank you!!Teresa

Great book to inspire anyone with this story of determination and tactics to incorporate (sneak!) into your day even while doing household chores. Carrie Underwood has a future planned out with a goal of as much physical activity as possible. She is a very strong, independent, focused, and competitive person, even with herself. The book speaks to the importance of adhering to parameters the majority of the time, 52 weeks a year. A reminder to all of us out there who have struggled over time with weight. You can't read the book without making a new effort to develop a more realistic and successful mindset.

Amazing! This book is so worthy of your time. Carrie is so down to earth and this book is easy to relate too, especially if you're a busy momma/dad trying to workout and a live a healthier life! Silly, but I have had a news years resolution for the past couple years to at least read one whole book during the year. I am a 6th grade math teacher and well I just plum haven't reached that goal yet.. until now! I got this book on Thursday and I am just about done! Not only have I learned a ton of new/healthy ways to accommodate my busy lifestyle, I have also achieved a dream/resolution... Silly or not!PS I promised one of my students who is an avid reader that I would read a book before she left junior high.. she checks in with me Everytime I see her in the halls. I cannot wait to get to school so I can finally tell her YES!! Thanks to this awesome and down to earth book by Carrie!!

What can I say about this book .... It's a must read book. I am in the middle of reading it and it's so amazing so far .... I have been a fan of Carrie since 2012 and everything she does is incredible. I am one happy UK Fan.

Hope will be a good read, recommend!

Este es un excelente libro, gran contenido, excelente calidad de papel y fotografía pero me molesto mucho pero mucho que me enviaron un libro muy sucio de la pasta y varias hojas rotas, yo pague por un libro nuevo y al parecer me enviaron uno usado. Súper mal!

Lo compré en la preventa. Una pena que amazon no tuviera la opción del libro firmado. Llegó antes de tiempo, pero con un ligero golpe en un extremo del lomo, casi imperceptible, pero ahí estaba.El libro en sí es de 10. Carrie nunca falla y verdaderamente transmite esas ganas de ejercitar el cuerpo que promete desde el principio.

De pasta gruesa, llegó en perfecto estado. También grueso en contenido. Hermosas fotografías. Muchos consejos fitness.
