Sharna Burgess In Workout Gear Dances For Brian Austin Green

Dancer Sharna Burgess is poking fun at her "mom life" in a new social media post. Burgess, 39, shared a video of herself wearing black dance workout gear, dancing for Brian Austin Green to a children's nursery rhyme. "When he asks you to dance for him but you're a toddler mom," reads the text over the video of Burgess doing 'head, shoulders, knees and toes'. "Toddler mamas raise your hand if you can relate ✋😂," she captioned the funny post. Burgess is a busy working mom—here's how she keeps it all going.

Burgess starts the day with black coffee and vitamins. "Throughout the day what I eat always changes. I can easily get bored with food, however I made a conscious decision to cut out sugar, bread, and pasteurized dairy about a year ago," she told Lapalme Magazine. "And to up my water intake to 3 liters a day. I make sure my snacks are things like raw almonds and cranberries, raw veggies with hummus, or a piece of fruit. Little adjustments like that are game changers. For workouts, I swear by hot yoga and reformer Pilates. If I am not dancing and need cardio I do interval training on the treadmill."

Burgess has good advice for aspiring professional dancers. "It is a difficult field to be successful in, so if it is what you want most the minute you wake up to the minute you go to sleep, if it is what you dream about, then never ever give up," she told Lapalme Magazine. "It is not just about talent, it is about hard work, blood sweat and many many tears. Part 2 is this, plan your life for after dance, you can not dance forever, eventually you will have to find another way to pay the bills because well… That is life…your education is just as important as your technique."

Burgess says it's difficult to pick her favorite type of dance. "For me, what I love is storylines," she told InLove Magazine. "I love when a dance has some truth to it. It's always great to create characters, but when you get to tell a person's story and create something that is about them, it is just the most magnificent feeling. In the show, I create pieces for other people all the time that are about their lives; about their personal triumphs over adversity. I really enjoy that part. It's usually a contemporary, or a Viennese waltz – something with a lot of emotion in it."

Burgess and Brian Austin Green previously took part in Movember, highlighting how important mental health is for men. "Men are just so behind the ball as far as really taking care of themselves," Green told People. "And there's this stigma and this thought of, if you're a man, you're supposed to be the rock, and you're supposed to be the real emotionally and physically secure one and then hold everyone together and be the glue." Burgess agrees. "To just step outside with someone else and talk about things, whatever arises, is so healthy," she says. "I would love for that to be the way for more people, and there is access to that with things like Movember for men. They do have access to be able to do things like this."df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Burgess tries to practice kindness in her daily life. "It's those small acts of kindness that make a difference," she told InLove Magazine. "It's helping someone pick up their groceries, or helping someone who doesn't have money for the bus, or giving up your seat for someone else; there are so many acts of kindness that take absolutely nothing out of us, that make someone else's day a little easier for them. That's how we are going to change the world, by changing us, by knowing that our kindness matters."
