Julianne Hough is showing off her dance moves – and her slim figure. In a new social media montage, the Dancing with the Stars judge dances her way through life, confessing that she is always busting a move. “Not, not dancing,” she joked in the Instagram caption. “I love it!!! And I love you!!!” one of her followers commented. “Whatever it is, babe, you have GOT IT. :) Really hitting your stride. And lookin' gorgeous, btw,'' added another. What do you need to know about Hough’s go-to exercise? Celebwell has the details.

1. She Moves “Every Day"

Hough gets her daily exercise. “Working out and staying healthy is part of my daily routine,” she told Us Weekly. “I move my body every day doing a variety of workouts.”

2. She Does Body by Simon

For years, Julianne relied on Body by Simone, a dance-inspired cardio workout created by Simone de la Rue. The method mixes dancing with intervals of conditioning moves to target the upper and lower body and core. "We do lots of mat work, body-weight moves and free weights," she told Good Morning America.""The trampoline cardio might sound crazy, but it's a great low-impact option. As a dancer, you've got to take good care of your knees!"

3. She Created KINRGY

Julianne formulated her own workout, KINRGY, inspired by her love of dance. “Dance continues to surprise me. Dance strengthens muscles that I didn’t even know I had - physically, emotionally and energetically 💪🏼😊✨ I’m feeling so grateful for my daily #KINRGY practice which brings me strength and power - internally and externally! Connecting with the elements and moving intuitively is what it’s all about! The more I move, the more I feel myself in #flow and fully expressed,” she wrote in a recent Instagram post.

4. She Maintains It’s “Not About Getting the Steps Right”

"It's important to remember that it’s not about getting the steps right, but just about keeping your heart rate up and having a good time," Hough told GMA.

5. What Makes Dancing a Great Workout?

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.

1. Relaxing By the Lake

Hough relaxes with wine and friends. "I love unwinding with people on a lake, having a glass of wine and playing games, because the sense of community feeds my soul,” she told E! News. “I also love my space and unwinding on my own."

2. Mental Health

Hough knows how important exercise is for mental health and wellness. "The more you move, it directly affects the way you feel," she told E! News. "Whether it's a Kinrgy class or doing Pilates or yoga, the fact that we get to combine all of those modalities is my favorite because I love versatility… I need a little bit of something different and unique so that my brain stays active."

3. Dancing Queen

Hough is an accomplished and talented dancer. “I have been fortunate enough to try so many different forms of expression over the years but dance has always been the beginning and end for me. I will always come back to dance. This year I made an intention and concerted effort to bring dance back into my life through really challenging myself artistically and athletically. Training! Zoi was a person and choreographer that I have been a fan of for years and that I felt was going to test my limits as that artistic athlete and dancer and I was not wrong. I hope you enjoy this piece. This is the first of more to come ✨” she captioned an Instagram post.

4. Energetic Health

Hough believes in a holistic approach to health and fitness. "This is the age of energetic health," she told E! News. "Because if you can change your energy, then you can change your mindset, and then you can change your physicality. We've been going about it the other way, which is: If I'm physical, then my body is going to look good. But if you focus more on your energy, then you get fitness as a plus."

5. Daily Movement

Hough needs to move her body at least once a day to feel her best. "I know that I can walk around the hills with my dog," she told E! News. "That's key because I have to get her out, too. But movement in general, whether it's 10 minutes or five minutes of something, I have to move my body."

Julianne Hough is going into 2024 with good intentions and positive vibes. Hough, 35, shared an Instagram reel featuring highlights of her happiest moments, including stills of her relaxing in very cute swimsuits. “Setting my intentions for the new year, and I can’t help but pause at the overwhelming sense of gratitude I hold for the moments of the year before and the moments ahead. It is easy to get caught up in the thief that is comparison, but when you pause and take a moment to reflect on the beauty found in the small moments, the art of life reveals itself. Sending light, love, and positive intentions to all✨🤍,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Hough’s wellness, fitness, and happiness regimen looks like these days.

1. Holistic Wellness

Hough focuses on a holistic approach to wellness and beauty. “Skin is my number one priority in all of my wellness rituals,” she tells Bustle. “Everything that I do is all about a holistic approach and sensory experience, because your senses are so important and that’s what you create your memories with. It’s so important to me to indulge in the pleasures, in the sensuality, and in the experience of what it feels like to take care of yourself. We rush throughout life and sometimes don’t savor the moments. Something like [shaving] that can feel like a have to, now feels like a get to.”

2. Sweating For Health and Beauty

Hough feels complete after a good sweat session. “On the physical side, skin is my go-to for everything,” she tells Bustle. “Whether that’s hydrating with water, what I’m putting in my body, what I’m putting on my body — it’s all the same for me. I am a big believer in [the idea] that you need to sweat to release those toxins. Whether that’s Pilates or dance or yoga or cycling — I love variety, so it not only helps with my physical self, but it also helps clear my mind.”

3. Eyebrow Tricks

Hough is an expert at doing her own makeup. "I darken my eyebrows with a pencil. I used to wax the arches, but now I'm letting them grow in. When I feel really makeup-artist-y, I actually get a paint palette and I draw on the eyebrow; it looks like natural hair coming out of my skin."

4. Wine With Nina Dobrev

Hough launched a clean wine company with actress Nina Dobrev, and says the experience has been wonderful. “We work with our winemaker, Jamey Whetstone, to create thoughtfully crafted wines—we pay close attention to every gram of sugar, calorie, and carb that goes into the process!” she tells New Beauty. “Nina and I both live such active lifestyles, so we created this wine with the intention of being able to enjoy these shared experiences and the work we put in, without the sacrifice. When you have great communication and a foundation of respect for one another, you get two different perspectives and are able to challenge each other in a way that just helps you be your best self. And that is what’s been incredible about working with Nina.”

5. Mental Health Rituals

Hough prefers mornings over evenings for self-care rituals. “I usually wake up with anxiety [thinking] of all the things I need to do — so I’ll write my morning pages so I can have a ‘brain dump’ of all the chatter that happens, and all of a sudden I have all of this space in my head and I can come from a place of creativity,” she tells Bustle. “Energetically and emotionally, that’s one of my biggest [rituals]. I usually find [that I enjoy] energizing things in the morning, and then the regulating [habits] at night — like breathwork, meditation, drinking really soothing teas, or taking a bath and just [rinsing off the day].”

I have so much gratitude for my sisters and the lessons they teach me through their lived experience.”

Again, if I want it sweeter, I’ll put some carrots in. But I love ginger, and lemon too, so I’ll put that in,” she told Elle in 2016. “Cucumber, celery, anything green, really. Sometimes I’ll add beets too, depending on my mood. And then I’ll go work out, it just depends.”
