Julianne Hough Shares Her Fitness Secrets (and how to take a great selfie!)
On her single status: “I’m a relationship girl, and I feel so grateful for the ones I’ve been in. They’ve been excellent – I’ve been hurt but never angry – and they’ve helped me grow to be who I am today. But my goal has been to be single for an entire year. There have been moments when I’m like, ‘This sucks!’ But my dad used to say to me, ‘When you feel happy with who you are, you won’t need anybody to fill a void.’ So for now, I’m focusing on my work and my soul. I honestly don’t care if I meet somebody or not. I’m just loving life on my own with my own two feet on the ground.
On reaching fitness goals: “People are afraid to go to the gym because they’re out of shape or they won’t try to do a marathon because they’re scared they won’t finish. But you’ve got to just go for it and keep going. I used to hate cardio because I have a little bit of asthma. But I’ve recently gotten into running. Once you pass that ‘I can’t breathe, this sucks so bad’ moment, it’s therapeutic.”
On her eating style: “Eating is an experience for me. It’s like, This might be my last meal, so I better have everything on the menu! I love a really good Italian dinner: an artichoke salad, penne with red sauce and a margarita pizza. And then it’s fun to go to another place for dessert because it makes the moment last longer. I’m the queen of Yogurtland. I put graham crackers on the bottom, then a swirl of yogurt and then more topping, so it’s like a parfait. By the time I’m finally done, the thing costs like 12 bucks!”
On how to take a great selfie: “Get the Camera+ app, set it to night exposure, take the picture 20,000 times and use the Instagram Mayfair filter.”
