1. She Loves To Run

Bowen’s favorite way to exercise is to run as much as possible. “When I don't get to run, I am a grump, but some days my schedule just doesn't allow me to,” she told Runner’s World. “I have to be at work at 6 a.m., and if I want to see my kids later at home, there are just days when I don't get to run. But, for the most part, I try to go every day. It usually works out to about five or six times a week or sometimes four times a week.”

2. Working Out With Sofia Vergara

Bowen loves working out with her Modern Family co-star Sofia Vergara. “We are so different,” she told Runner’s World. “She is so graceful and athletic and she is a really good dancer, and I am like, ‘Put on the shoes and go on a straight line.’ I do yoga. I go swimming. I do that stuff. But it's a totally different time commitment and needs a whole new set of equipment. And I mean, I have seen the best things I have ever seen while I am out on runs.”

3. No White Food

Bowen avoids ultra-processed food. “I eat really clean and have pretty simple rules: I try not to eat white food, like white rice, pasta and white bread,” she told Parade. “There aren’t really any white foods that are good for you when you think about it. Marshmallows? Powdered sugar? Nope. I also like to see the ingredients. If it’s complicated to the point that I don’t know what’s in it, I’m not interested in eating it.”

4. Switching Up Workouts

Bowen adapts her workouts as she gets older to focus on rest and recovery. “You can't do things in your late 40s that you could do in your late 20s, like just push through a run when it hurts,” she told Parade. “Cause if you do, it's going to hurt for like a month. I definitely have had to incorporate taking care of myself into my fitness regime, which I always thought was kind of silly. I ride a bike a lot. I mix in running, swimming, all kinds of things because just one thing and the body gets mad.”

5. Losing the Baby Weight

Bowen credits running with helping her lose the baby weight after having twins in 2009. “More than losing the baby weight, it helped me to regain my sanity,” she told Runner’s World. “When you are in a house with lots of babies, no sleep, and everything is about their needs all of the time, I found that going out for a run in the morning before they got up—even it was just for half an hour—made me feel like I did something for myself. It's wasn't just all about babies, and it made me feel okay.”

Julianne doesn’t mess around at the gym.

2. She Eats Vegan and Avoids Gluten

Hough follows a strict gluten-free and vegan diet. “I sound so L.A. right now,” she revealed in a “What I Eat in a Day” video with Harper’s Bazaar, “but it’s because my body needs it. Because trust me, do I love flour, I love sugar, I love cookies, I love all the things. But I’m really just trying to focus on my health from the inside out.”

3. She Starts the Day with Lemon Water

This is how I start my morning every. single. day,” Julianne explained in an Instagram video, revealing her love for lemon water. “Having a strong morning routine gives me a sense of stability and puts my mind at ease knowing that I’m waking up, cleansing my body and committing to my wellness.” She also has an overnight recipe for lemon water. It “consists of lukewarm temperature water with half of a lemon” she says, maintaining that “sitting overnight” helps to get “juices flushed out in there,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

4. She Drinks Green Juice

“I usually find a way to do some sort of celery juice, or something that also gives me a little bit of sugar before I go do a quick workout,” Julianne said about her green juice of choice. “Or I’ll do like, amino acids [vitamins] or something like that to give me that support, that energy that I’m looking for.” One of her favorite green juice recipes? “I usually like it a little sweeter, less bitter, so I put in a green apple, some spinach, kale. 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 added to 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.”

5. She Enjoys “Everything in Moderation

“If I could give you any words of encouragement with what you eat, it’s enjoy yourself, everything in moderation, and if you love your body and love what you’re putting into your body, your body’s gonna know,” Julianne told Harper’s Bazaar. “So if you’re gonna have a drink, if you’re gonna have a yummy sweet tooth, enjoy it. Take the pleasure in it.”

Now, the 33-year–old is back in action, revealing all the exercise moves responsible for her fit figure—while showing off her impossibly flat abs, of course. A few days later, she posted a video of her jumping in a bathing suit. "1st week of 2022 down and feeling high on life!
