Briana Evigan in Two-Piece Workout Gear "Can Feel the Dance Itch"
Briana Evigan is an actress and dancer, known for her parts in the Step Up show, horror films, and more. Throwing on a great two-piece set gave her the edge to get back into choreographing dance moves. "Last dance 3 months ago, works been busy! Little inspo to start the week this morning and find a groove. It's coming it's coming! I can feel the dance itch," Evigan said on Instagram. Dance is in her blood thanks to her mom's career as a professional dancer, as well, so feeling the motivation to get on the dance floor and create new moves is a big part of her healthcare routine and overall wellness. What else does she do to fill in the gaps in between the dance itch? A lot!
She enjoys pilates
Her favorite go-to workout? Pilates! Specifically "pilates on the reformer," she said during an interview with Glamour. "It's short, it's hard, it's only 45 minutes so it's kind of in and out, which I like, but other than that I do love spinning, like dancing on a bike. It's really fun." Spinning is a great strength builder. Finding the time to workout can be the biggest challenge for some, so having these intense, but fast, workout options in your back pocket is crucial for maintaining your workouts.
She prioritizes fitness
In an interview with Glamour, Evigan said "fitness is absolutely a way of life for me. I actually like exercising, and I obviously like being healthy and eating well. I think everything you put into your body kind of allows you to be more physical and go out there and just feel really great about yourself." Not only is it a way of life, but it's simply an important part of her now and something she's not willing to sacrifice in her schedule.
She makes sure she stretches
Stretching is crutial when it comes to avoiding injury. In an interview with Glamour, Evigan talks about stretching before jumping into her cardio. "Stretch, choreography, kind of random dance moves in between the flow, partner dancing, but mainly just choreography since there's so much for the film and we have to learn it so early, because it's always changing, and it switches the day of, often. But mainly just choreography and kind of playing and having fun with everybody."
She likes to mix up her workouts
Some people thrive on routine, while others (like Evigan) need a little variety in their life. "I tried this crazy trapeze exercise years back," she told Glamour. "I don't remember what it was called. It was one of the most fun things, really really hard though because you're holding yourself up constantly, your entire core has to be so strong. But yeah it was a good trapeze dance aerobics class."
She tries not to skip training and working out
Working out isn't just a part of her schedule anymore, but a lifestyle, so skipping isn't an option. "I find myself more lethargic and not as happy if I don't actually push myself to go exercise all the time. The more I do it the better I feel," she mentions in an interview with Glamour.
