Cynthia Bailey in Workout Gear Says “More Dancing In 2024!”

Former Dancing With the Stars cast member Sharna Burgess is getting back into her best dance training since leaving the show. Burgess, 38, shared a video of herself dancing at a studio, wearing gray joggers and a white sports bra. “An imperfect work in progress. @julztocker I love how much we laugh with and at each other while trying to get it together lol. Back to basics today and it’s shocking how off balance and stiff I was/am. On DWTS I never focused on my own dancing but rather sacrificed it to be what and where my partner needed. I developed bad habits and my technique got lazy. This combo is a version of something I used to do every single day while I was with Burn the Floor,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Burgess is living her best life.

1. Postpartum Care

Burgess welcomed her first child with Brian Austin Green in 2022 and took her time getting back into fitness again. “Honestly, I thought I would [feel pressure]. I thought it would be because of having been an athlete and my body being my career — it’s not just about aesthetics on the outside, it’s about how my core feels to be able to dance and do what I do,” she told Us Weekly. I thought I would feel that pressure. [But] I don’t have pressure on myself.”

2. Love Your Workouts

Burgess has good advice for people just starting out on their fitness journey. “The best form of exercise is one that you enjoy,” she told PEOPLE. “Find a local dance studio, take a friend to hot yoga – make it a social thing if you struggle to find the motivation. Once there are changes in your body and your energy levels, that will be all the motivation you need.”

3. Goodbye To DWTS

Burgess has mixed feelings about not being asked to return to Dancing With the Stars. “Because it was such a shock, because I wasn’t expecting it, it was tough,” she told Variety. “It’s not the first time. My last five years on the show have been rocky — not because of the show. I love the show deeply, but we had a new executive producer come in, I think five years ago now. I had just won with Bobby Bones and he decided to not bring me back,” Burgess said. “There’s a lot of speculation as to why.”

4. Rest Day

Burgess always takes one day a week to rest and relax. “It’s a sleep-in, eat chocolate, and do whatever I want kind of day,” she told Now To Love. “That helps me stay in line throughout the rest of the week. I have very low willpower when it comes to food, but if I have my structure, and I know that I can indulge at the end of the week, then I feel good about it.”

No Off Season

Burgess doesn’t allow herself to have an ‘off season’. “I need to be equally as fit on and off season,” she told PEOPLE. “During the season I have less time for the gym – especially once we get into the final weeks. But if I cannot get my cardio in, I try and take a hot yoga class for stretching and calming my energy.”

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.”

1. She Loves Pilates

Austin revealed some of her favorite workouts to FitBump. She says that Pilates is one of her favorite exercises. “Pilates is a really great thing to do because, to me, it is like yoga using dance moves. I love it. It’s not like you’re running, but you’re still using moves that stretch you out.”

2. She Does Acroyoga With Her Sister

Austin’s sister is a yoga instructor, and she tells FitBump that the two of them like to workout together. “She got me on this trend of acroyoga: When her and I get together and we use our own body weight to hold each other up. It’s an amazing workout. It might look easy, but give it a try. I’m sweating by the time I come out of the pose.”

3. She Works Out Her Lower Body

Austin has an amazing lower body, and she tells Muscle & Fitness that she does a lot of exercises to maintain them. “I generally work out my lower body every time I go to the gym. I concentrate on doing squats and lunges with weights. I work on the top of my booty muscles. If I work hard enough, I can get my butt pretty big, but it takes a lot of dedication and heavy weights.”

4. She Does Pole Fitness

Austin reveals to Muscle & Fitness that she has a unique form of exercise that she enjoys doing. “I love pole fitness. The way I do it, it’s extreme acrobatics—it’s on a whole different level. You go up 12 feet in the air, hit a split or a pose, and hold it. That is some serious business. It’s intense!”

5. She Dances

Austin was a past member of the show Peepshow, and she tells Muscle & Fitness that it really helped with her body. “Dancing every single night is basically like doing cardio. I’m actually the exact same weight—135 pounds— as when I started, I just lost fat and gained muscle, which changed the shape of my body.”

Lexy enjoys cooking healthy meals and keeps her kitchen stocked with ingredients. “I have to make everything in the fridge because we’re on a healthy diet here. Right? Everyone’s learning how to cook indoors. I’m doing a good job. I’m not gonna lie. There’s a lot of veggies, fruits and stuff like that,” she told Hollywood Life.

2. She Dances

Lexy has her own method of exercise, TwerkOut. “I’ve been a dancer my whole life and taken every kind of dance class since I was little, however I’ve always been a singer and wanted to pursue that! I’ve taught dance to middle school kids and as I said earlier I been in the dance world my whole life. I have been in the music singing girl group and sang solo as well!” she told Women Fitness about her inspiration behind the class. “I like to dance all types of dance and twerking was just something that came later on that I found out that I was good at. It takes practice but with good technique you can get it. Just be confident and I want to feel sexy and free!”

3. She Avoids Heavy Weights

Lexy doesn’t lift heavy weights. She maintains that her goal is to “be lean and not too buff,” she told Women Fitness. “In my class all you need is your body and some balls.”

4. She Puts in the Work

According to Lexy you need to “twerk hard” if you want to get in shape and learn her method. She told Women Fitness “it takes practice and dedication to learn how to be a great Twerker just like any dance. The fitness aspect is easier because not all moves involved have to have butt shaking necessarily. They are normal moves and when you add booty shaking it makes it more fun! I’m excited to start certifying women all around to teach my class! That’s when it’s going to go worldwide even more. But like I said dedication is key and believe in what you do! Because if you don’t believe it won’t work.”

5. She Believes Dance Improves Mental Health

“Dancing is healing. Mental health wise, think of it as medicine. When you close your eyes and feel the beat, you go into this beautiful, made up world where everything just feels right. Let the songs make you feel something. People say that you should dance like nobody’s watching, but how many people have actually tried that? When you really let go, it’s liberating, and you get to know yourself in a completely new way. Physically, this challenges your body to try something new, push limits, and become more open-minded. Dance is great for the soul, but it also is incredible for cardio, core strength and muscular development and endurance. Your body will change in a very unique way and you’ll tone down quickly!” she told Glamour.
