Carrie Underwood is the cover girl for November’s Self Magazine. In it she talks about her exercise routine and her junk food splurges.

“I try to exercise as much as possible. I work out at home four or five times a week. I do the elliptical in the morning. I do arm weights, but I have the body type that if I do too much, I’ll get big. I play basketball, swim or, when I’m on the road, I walk around and see where I’m at. My healthier habit would be being conscious about what I put in my body. But it’s a good to splurge sometimes! My food indulgences are pizza, and I love chocolate, ice cream and cheese. Not many people know that. I have a big problem controlling myself with the cheese.”
