It was roughly decade ago at a Four Christmases<\/em> premiere when one of Tim McGraw<\/a>\u2019s daughters noticed that her dad wasn\u2019t in his best shape on the screen. While watching one of his first scenes, she said to him, \u201cDad, you really should do something.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGraw, 51, recalled the memory at the January launch of his new TRUMAV gym<\/a> in Nashville as an example of what initially motivated him back then to adopt a healthier lifestyle. He cut alcohol from his life, and over two years, he lost 40 pounds, thanks to the lack of booze and twice-daily workouts.<\/p>\n

Grit & Grace: Train the Mind, Train the Body, Own Your Life<\/em>, McGraw\u2019s upcoming book due out Nov. 5, chronicles his personal health journey. Sections will also be dedicated to exercise tips and his mental approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve gone through a physical transformation in the last 10 years, but it\u2019s not just my appearance that has changed,\u201d McGraw tells People<\/a><\/em>. \u201cMy 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGraw has been named among People<\/em>\u2019s Sexiest Men Alive at least twice. Grit & Grace<\/em> is his fourth book following 2016\u2019s Humble and Kind<\/em> and the My Little Girl<\/em> series.<\/p>\n
