Dancing Her Heart Out & Her Body Fit!
Now that she's off the show, Julianne hits the gym near her home four or five times a week. "I'm not a morning person," she says, "but I prefer to work out early because it gives me an energy boost for the rest of the day." She starts with half an hour on either the treadmill, the elliptical, or the stationary bike, then does sculpting moves with free weights. As a dancer, Julianne has come up with a few of her own creative moves to keep things interesting. "I don't like using the weight machines because they don't allow me the freedom to move around," she says. "With free weights I can do little twists and turns and almost choreograph my workouts. That's more fun for me, and the time goes by faster."
"There are certain areas of the body that dancing won't tone, so I still stretch and do crunches, lunges, and arm moves just about every day," says Dancing With the Stars' Julianne Hough. She maintains her sculpting plan off-season too, when she runs for 30 to 45 minutes on most days. We asked Julianne to show us the 15-minute routine she does to supplement her dancing.
Check out the July issue of Shape for Julianne's workout. Do it twice a week and you'll notice your legs firming up, your arms becoming more defined, and your muscles getting more limber. You just may be inspired to sign up for dance lessons-and you'll have the body for it!
Julianne Hough opens up about her life on and off the show, her new country CD, and what she does to stay in great shape.
