Tim McGraw is sharing details about his personal fitness journey in a new book titled Grit & Grace: Train the Mind, Train the Body, Own Your Life.

McGraw told People, “I’ve gone through a physical transformation in the last 10 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.”

Tim, who just opened his own gym in Nashville continues: “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 admits that he used to drink before each show to calm his nerves, but friends showed concern so he ditched the alcohol and focused on fitness.

The book will be released on November 5, 2019.
