It appears that the singer will be aiming for two for two this year. He also plans on launching an album this year.

“I’ve gone through a physical transformation in the last ten years, but it’s not just my appearance that has changed. My mind is clearer, my sense of purpose is sharper, and my relationships are deeper. Consistent physical exercise helps me bring focus to my life and to the people who mean the most to me.”

What’s in the New Book ‘Grit & Grace?’

The country star mentions that the book is intended for all audiences, regardless of their own fitness goals. This is more than a how-to book, as it encourages others to create their own set of goals as well.

“That’s something we all want. And I believe it’s something that is available to anyone who wants it, regardless of their level of fitness. I want this book to help people find what works for them by sharing the mental and physical approach that has worked for me.”

McGraw gave up alcohol way back in 2008. He explained that he knew that there came to a point that his drinking had become a problem. He started to see its negative side effects both in his home life and career.

After that, he did a complete turnaround. He embraced an active lifestyle that incorporated regular physical exercise. After more than a decade of this new lifestyle, he tells People Magazine that it’s not only his looks that have changed, but also the other facets of his life have evolved.

To McGraw, the fitness journey is all about feeling good – better than before and being healthy. It is especially important to his work and his career as well.

“It wasn’t like I was trying to lose 40 pounds, I was just wanting to get healthy,” he says. “For me, it is more about feeling good and being where I want to be physically and on stage. When I am on stage in 98 degrees out there, you want to feel good. And my show isn’t stand out there and not move around.”

Grit & Grace: Train the Mind, Train the Body, Own Your Life will release on Nov. 5, 2019. But, take note that it will only be released at select retailers online.
