"I work out 3 to 4 times a week and they pretty much look like this with certain variations whether we're doing more upper body or lower body," she revealed.

2. Try Fasting

"For dinner, I will either have a lean red meat, like flank steak with vegetables, chili from my book, or the same kind of thing—chicken and rice vegetables or my fit-enchiladas from my first book.”

4. Stock Up On Frozen Meals

There have been really beautiful, amazing moments but also some pretty low lows.

2. She Goes After Her Goals

In the same post, Decker talked about her goals and career plans. She says that she wants to do a lot of things, and isn’t afraid to go after them. “I’ve also been struggling with the challenges I face in my career. I’ve been wanting to be a country singer since I was 9 years old and sometimes, I feel like constantly in a battle with the rest of the industry to prove to them that I’m not just a TV personality or an influencer because that has outshines my music. As a woman in 2022, I don’t understand why I can’t have a family, publish books, own a fashion brand, be an influencer and do TV without being questioned if I take my music career seriously just because I’ve chosen to dream big.”

3. She Makes Time For Workouts

Decker has a busy schedule, but she also makes time for workouts on a regular basis. She revealed her secrets to CMT. “Carve out 30 to 45 minutes of time. At the end of the day, 45-minutes is really not that much of your time. I don’t love the excuses people provide, ‘I don’t have time to work out,’ or ‘I don’t need it.’ You have time to get a good workout in. Just do it."

At the end of the day, 45-minutes is really not that much of your time,” she tells Country Music Television. “I don’t love the excuses people provide, ‘I don’t have time to work out,’ or ‘I don’t need it.’ You have time to get a good workout in. Just do it. There are YouTube videos that I will watch. There’s such a variety.”

2. She Loves Wine

Decker enjoys drinking wine with her former-NFL husband, Eric Decker. “We like to start off with a really good Prosecco, just to kind of start off the night,” she says. “Then I like to transition into a pinot and maybe finish off the rest of the evening with a really good Cabernet Sauvignon. We really love a glass from this company called Darioush. It's our favorite red wine, and it’s local around here [Napa valley] as well. We love this Palagetto, which is an Italian wine from Tuscany that we fell in love with…so a few bottles of those.”

3. She Likes Her Toast

Decker shared her daily diet plan with her fans, and one thing she always has for lunch is two slices of buttered toast. “You got to do what works for you & your body, but I’m constantly asked to share some of my dieting and workout tips, and this is one of them!” she says. “Y’all know I’m an eater and love it enjoy! I have found eating two slices of toast fills me up midday! Giving up bread & carbs is just not a solution for me. So it definitely fulfills that bread need.”

4. She Doesn’t Eat After 6.30pm

Decker stops eating at 630pm until she has breakfast the next morning.“The benefit of an early dinner has to do with the fact that as the day winds down, the body needs less food for energy and should be entering a fasting state," says Rachel Swanson, MS, LDN. "Capping your intake more than two hours before bed allows for an extended overnight fasting window to take place—the essential downtime your body needs to facilitate detoxification and cellular repair."

5. She Focuses on Family

Decker is thrilled to have her husband and children with her when she goes on tour. “It’s been amazing! I feel like if I don’t have my kids with me, I don’t know if I would enjoy it as much.” she says. “Music and performing are my number one thing in life, but my kids and my family are more important than anything. So, if I don’t have them with me, I’m just not going to enjoy myself. I am even in a better mood, and I can do what I love.”
