Miranda Lambert isn’t a tremendous fan of conventional cardio. She says that she isn’t the kind of person who gets excited to work out every day and instead prefers to keep things fresh and interesting. Today we take a deeper look at the Miranda Lambert workout plan that helped the star not only lose weight, but keep it off!
She didn’t need to rely on a trainer 5-6 days per week like many stars. Instead perform toning exercises with her trainer on her legs and tummy two days per week. For 2 other days per week she’d perform cardio on her own using the treadmill, elliptical, or opting for a jog outside.
On the weekends Miranda would remain quite active and “fool herself” into doing cardio by really doing things she really loved such as horseback riding and walking in the woods with Hubby Blake Shelton.
Here’s what an average week of work outs looked like during her weight reduction transformation that saw her go from a size 8 to a size 6.

Weekends:
Miranda would “deceive herself” into doing cardio on the weekends by performing tasks that she adored. Often times she’d go horseback riding. When traveling on other days she’d be sure to go for an extended walk outside either in the woods, at a neighborhood park or in the seashore.
