Miranda Lambert is not a huge fan of traditional cardio and going to the gym. She says that she is not the type of person who gets excited to workout everyday and instead opts to keep things interesting and fresh.
She did not want to rely on a trainer 5-6 days a week like many celebrities. Instead Miranda opted to workout with her trainer and perform toning exercises for her legs and stomach two days a week. For 2 other days per week she would perform cardio on her own using the treadmill, elliptical, or going for a jog outside.
On the weekends Miranda would stay very active and “trick herself” into doing cardio by actually doing things she truly enjoyed such as horseback riding and walking in the woods with Hubby Blake Shelton.
Here is what a typical week of workouts looked for Miranda Lambert during her weight loss transformation that saw her go from a size 8 to a size 6.
