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!

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.”

4. 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.”

5. 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.

1. This is How She Stays Grounded

“I try and read every single day. It grounds me and makes me feel in control. And I absolutely love thriller novels, so it keeps me entertained. I also feel like pleasure reading everyday keeps your brain active and your body calm. I also drink at least half my body weight, in ounces, of water every day. Staying hydrated is such a must- and I genuinely feel better when my body is fully hydrated. And I two walks a day, with my puppy, is always a must. Of course, for Emmy, but also to keep my body active and fresh air always makes me feel better. Some days, when I am having a really hard time waking up, I'll go on an early chilly walk with Emmy and it sets such an awesome energized tone for the rest of my day,” she told E! Online.

2. She Works Out Using Virtual Reality

“Honestly, my favorite way to break a sweat right now is playing VR. We got a virtual reality headset, right as everything was shutting down, and it's been AMAZING during quarantine. There are so many games that make you work up a sweat and it's so awesome. I am genuinely so sore after I play,” she told E! Online.

3. She Tried Zumba During the Pandemic

“Zumba is a fitness program that combines Latin and international music with dance moves. Zumba routines incorporate interval training — alternating fast and slow rhythms — to help improve cardiovascular fitness,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Zumba is an aerobic activity that can count toward the amount of aerobic activity recommended for most healthy adults by the Department of Health and Human Services. The guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. But even small amounts of physical activity are helpful. Being active for short periods of time throughout the day can add up to provide health benefits.”

4. She Has a Trainer Who Gets Her

She and trainer Paolo Mascitti have an understanding. “If my body is so sore and I need a day off, he's so understanding about that,” she told Self. “My mental health is the priority, and my mental health is always better when I am active. But sometimes when your body hurts, you're like, I can't do anything, I don't want to get up. And so he's very patient. If there's a day that I feel the need to be a little bit more gentle with myself, he's great.”

5. She Likes Group Classes

“I always do a little bit better in a class setting or in-person, just because I think that I have a competitive nature in workout classes,” she told Self. “So I feel like I can really hit it hard.”

6. She Celebrates Good Times, Come On

“Whenever [her boyfriend] Anthony [de la Torre] and I finish a workout or finish doing something that will better our physical bodies or our mind, he makes us clap and validate ourselves. We put on... I think it's called ‘Celebration,’” from Kool and the Gang, she tells Bustle. “He puts on ‘Celebration’ on speakers around the house. We're supposed to celebrate ourselves for 30 seconds or a minute because, he says, you have to tell yourself to celebrate these small steps that you've taken to take care of yourself. So when I finish working out, we clap and dance. It’s awesome.”

7. This is Her Wind-Down Routine

“I’m the type of person who works out in the morning to get it over with, because I know that when I get home, I just want to take a bath and eat some pasta and watch a show. So that’s what I do. Anthony… and I have been doing these incredible magnesium CBD baths every night. That’s been really amazing for my muscles because I’ve been working out more to get ready for my next movie. With everything our bodies have gone through in the past year, it really is so important to tell your muscles that it's OK to relax and to let your body heal. So I highly recommend tub time,” she tells Bustle.

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.

1. Diet and Workouts

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.”

2. Advice For Dancers

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.”

3. Favorite Dance Style

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.”

4. Mental Health Awareness

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."

5. Acts of Kindness

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.”

Kaitlyn Bristowe is pontificating about life in her swimsuit. The Bachelorette alum shows off her incredible figure in a bathing suit via one of her latest social media posts, getting deep about life. “A few thoughts from the last 10 days,” she started the caption, adding a few of her beliefs like “Red wine and noodles forever,” “True Self care is how you get your power back,” and “Aging is not scary, the alternative is.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kaitlyn Bristowe stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Dances

Kaitlyn, who competed on Dancing with the Stars, has been burning calories by cutting a rug since she was a kid. “I have always been a very healthy person. I started dancing when I was three years old, and was dancing at least six times a week until I was about 19. Then I moved to Vancouver where I was cheerleading and dancing a few times a week,” she told Elle Canada.

2. She Spins

It wasn’t until Kaitlyn moved to Germany when she was 26 and realized that she “needed fitness” in her life that she started working out. “I wasn’t dancing anymore. I had never stepped foot in a gym to lift weights, so that was very intimidating,” she told Elle. “When I moved back to Vancouver that’s when I got my certificate to teach spin, so I started doing that before the show. For me, it wasn’t really about losing weight or anything like that, I was pretty happy in my own skin. I just loved the feeling of getting stronger.”

3. She Works Out Wherever She Is

Even when she is traveling, Kaitlyn prioritizes fitness. “I do try to workout wherever I go. If I am just there for a couple days, I pack one cute outfit and then all of my Reebok clothes so that I am ready to workout when I can. At the airport I make sure I am not taking the tram to each gate and I will walk. I try and be very cautious of making small decisions and small goals for myself to keep me active,” she told Elle.

4. She Got Super Strong for DWTS

To get ready for Dancing with the Stars, Kaitlyn majorly revamped her approach to fitness. "I’ve been working so hard on my mental and physical health over the last 14 weeks," she captioned an Instagram photo documenting her progress over 14 weeks. "Reading, meditating, resting, working out, lifting heavy, Pilates, boxing, going to physical therapy for mobility and strength, getting sports massages, dry needling,” she said about her routine.

5. She Indulges

"Anything I do in life, I always want to work hard, play hard and so I'm still drinking my wine, I'm still eating my McDonald's on Sundays, but I am working hard through the week," Kaitlyn told E News. “I always eat pretty healthy. I worked with this girl named Massy Fit. To be honest, I've been just eating way more than I'm used to. So, definitely more carbs, more protein, which is hard for me because I'm a pescatarian. Sundays are my day I just go like headfirst to McDonald's.”

Kelly Burglund is recreating a movie scene – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the actress shows off her figure in exercise clothes while recreating an iconic movie moment from 10 Things I Hate About You with her boyfriend. “0 things I hate about you ♥️,” she writes in the caption. “Cute,” commented one of her followers. How does the Heels star approach diet, fitness, and self care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Prior to Heels, She Was a “SoulCycler”

Berglund discussed her physical transformation for Heels with SheKnows. Prior to shooting she had a dance and gymnastics background and enjoyed spin classes. “I go to SoulCycle and that’s about it!” she told her trainer for the show. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

2. Three Hours of Training Per Night

To get in shape prior to shooting, Berglund spent three hours a night wrestling. Then, for season two, she amped it up even more. “​​I trained for five months going into season two, because Crystal is much more of a wrestler now. I wanted to bulk up and look more like a wrestler,” she added to The Hollywood Reporter.

3. Bulking and Cutting

Much like real wrestlers, Berglund bulked and cut. “So I was eating a pretty strict bulking diet of lots of protein, and then cutting closer to when we were filming the show, I was training for about three hours a day, five days a week. And that continued on as we started filming in Atlanta. They built us another gym like they did in season one, and we were in there on all of our off days with the stunt team. Even the cast that aren’t wrestlers were coming into the gym; it became this community. So it was extremely difficult, but I’m so proud of myself for getting through it. And in watching the second season, I’m grateful that it comes across,” she told THR.

4. Ice Baths

Kelli cools down with ice baths. “Thank you for having us @denmotherwellness 🌿 pure bliss is fighting for your life in an ice bath together,” she captioned a recent post. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

5. Dance

Kelli also blasts calories via dance. “I take dance classes (when I can) in my free time… it’s still such a love of mine, plus, it’s a great workout!” Kelli told Naluda. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
