What Julianne Does To Maintain Her Dancer's Body

Julianne Hough hits the gym four to five times a week. “I’m not a morning person” she says, “but I prefer to workout early because it gives me an energy boost for the rest of the day.” Julianne starts with cardio. 30 mins on the either treadmill, elliptical, or stationary bike

Then hits the free weights for sculpting moves As a dancer, Julianne creates moves to keep things interesting, “I don’t like using the weight machines because they don’t allow me the freedom to move around. With free weight I can do little twists and turns and almost choreograph my workouts. That’s more fun for me, and the time goes by faster.”

Since dancing doesn’t tone everything Julianne will stretch, do crunches, lunges, and arm moves everyday. Ms. Hough also runs 40 to 45 mins on most days on her off season. Julianne shows Shape magazine a 15 minute routine instead of dancing in the July issue on newsstands now.
