“Growing up, I could eat anything, but the minute I hit 22, I stopped dancing and kept eating whatever I wanted, and I gained weight,” says the slender 5’4″ blonde.
Not surprisingly, Julianne — whose brother Derek Hough is also a pro on DWTS — enjoys dancing as a workout.
“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,” Hough says.
Although she says she “hates being in the gym,” Hough typically works out four to five days a week doing a combination of cardio exercise and body sculpting with free weights.
Julianne, 22, usually starts by doing 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill, elliptical trainer, or the stationary bike, followed by light weight-lifting. When she’s not at the gym, Hough runs 30 to 45 minutes on most days.
Hough says she got “freaked out” about he weight by reading critical comments on blogs.
“You get caught up in it. But if I deprive myself, I end up binge eating. I didn’t want to do that,” she explains.
Exercising is a way for her to justify eating a regular diet and avoiding binging. That keeps her motivated.
“Now if I want something, I’ll have it and I won’t feel guilty. Then the next day I won’t crave it.”
Julianne, who left “Dancing with the Stars” in 2008 to pursue a country music career, makes time to work out even when she’s on the road.
“It’s so hard to stay fit while you’re travelling, but for me it always makes me feel better on the inside if I’ve worked out,” says Hough.
“It’s what you want to feel on the inside, not necessarily what you want to look like on the outside.”
In my opinon, I would agree she is absolutely doing lots of cardio and free weights, but remember she is watching what she eats immensely. Probably staying away from Carbs and Starches and most of all sugars. No one can keep this type of shape without amazing genetics and skipping these foods. I promise this is not the look she gets from doing her dance video :)
