Four minutes. That’s how long it takes to do the tabata routines Carrie Underwood, 32, credits with getting her in shape after having son Isaiah, now 11 months.

Do five different routines three days a week (get a half hour of cardio on another three days), says Underwood’s Nashville-based t ville-trainer Erin Oprea (inset), “and you’ll see results not just in your muscles, but in your endurance.” The pro outlines workouts in her new book, The 4x4 Diet, and created one just for Us.

His Grey’s Anatomy character, Dr. Nathan Riggs, “isn’t brought in as this charming guy,” the New Zealand native, 41, says of the assumption that his alter ego was created to replace Patrick Dempsey’s Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd. “I don’t aim to fulfill that role . . . but I actually quite enjoy the name McKiwi!” Though Henderson sees stark differences between the two doctors, he wouldn’t mind taking on Shepherd’s romantic plotlines. “That’s the only reason I’m on the show,” the single actor jokes of nabbing an onscreen girlfriend. “It’s kind of like an arranged marriage!” TURN FOR THE WORST While Riggs isn’t looking for a leading lady just yet, his relationships in the operating room will quickly unravel when the ABC hit (Thursdays, 8 p.m.)…
