Julianne Hough in Bathing Suit Shares "Practical Magic"

Julianne Hough is making a splash – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the dancer and actress does her best Ariel, showing off her amazing body in a bathing suit while singing the hit song Part of Your World from the Disney movie, The Little Mermaid. “Channeling my inner little mermaid for Disney Night on @dancingwiththestars this week!!” she captioned the Instagram video with her millions of followers. “You’re a real life Ariel,” one of them commented. “Beautiful,” added another. How does the 35-year-old prioritize her health? Celebwell rounded up some of her top self-care habits.

1. She Takes Baths

“I love to make every moment a luxury experience,” Hough told Women’s Health. “Whether it's in the bathtub and having bubbles and meditation music playing and my crystals and whatever it is, or I'm in the shower and I'm just rushing out through the day, at least I know that I'm being taken care of in the best way possible.”

2. She Does Body Scans

Hough is also a fan of regular body scans, a guided meditation practice that has you lie down, stay aware of your breath, and mindfully soften each part of your body, from head to toe. “I love meditating and doing energy work,” Hough told Pure Wow. “It really helps me get out of my head and into my body.”

3. She Lights Candles and Burns Incense

“I love making sure my environment is like, candles lit or incense burning, just to create the experience and get my mindset in a really calming way, so I can self-regulate before I get crazy again with work stuff,” Hough told Women’s Health about another favorite ritual.

4. She Focuses on Recovery

After her workout, which is generally “Pilates, yoga, working out with a trainer… it keeps everything fresh and helps me fuel my body's different needs,” Hough maintains that “Recovery is also a second workout to me," she told Shape. "We always think about the fact that we have to push, push, push, but without that recovery, it leads to burnout. It's about that balance. I think we haven't focused enough on recovery in the athletic or the artistic athlete (dancers)."

5. She Uses Therabody Tools

Hough uses Therabody products to help in her recovery process. "Ever since I started using Therabody products, I recognized the mobility and the freedom within my muscles and just the relaxation and the nurturing that I couldn't necessarily give myself. Once you use them, there's no way that you can go back to not doing any kind of recovery," she told Shape.

Read on to see 5 ways Mollie Gould 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

Gould is an avid dancer. She even likes to take classes. Gould posted this video of herself doing a combination from a class on Instagram. She captioned it, “DANCE! FIRE & DESIRE! Thank you @therealtank for coming and watching class!” "Scientists gave little thought to the neurological effects of dance until relatively recently, when researchers began to investigate the complex mental coordination that dance requires. In a 2008 article in Scientific American magazine, a Columbia University neuroscientist posited that synchronizing music and movement—dance, essentially—constitutes a 'pleasure double play.' Music stimulates the brain’s reward centers, while dance activates its sensory and motor circuits," says Harvard Health.

2. She Goes Outside

Gould spends a lot of time outside. She posts a lot of photos of herself enjoying the great outdoors on Instagram. She shared this photo of herself running on the beach in Malibu. She captioned it, “Footprints in the sand.” Gould also posted this beach photo, captioning it, “Whatever is good for the soul, do that.”

3. She Swims

One outdoor activity Gould likes to do to stay in shape is go swimming. She shares a lot of videos and photos on Instagram of herself in the water. Gould posted these photos of herself in an infinity pool. She captioned it, “This planet is so beautiful.” Gould also posted this video of herself in the ocean. She captioned it, “Summer vibe always.”

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

A little bit os sun each day is essential to get your vitamin D. “Vitamin D is one of the 13 vitamins discovered in the early 20th century by doctors studying nutritional deficiency diseases. Ever since, scientists have defined vitamins as organic (carbon-containing) chemicals that must be obtained from dietary sources because they are not produced by the body's tissues. Vitamins play a crucial role in our body's metabolism, but only tiny amounts are needed to fill that role,” says Harvard Health.

5. She Has Body Confidence

Gould frequently poses online in swimsuit photos, appearing body-confident. “Avoid 'should' and 'must' statements. If you find that your thoughts are full of these words, you might be putting too many demands on yourself. Try to remove these words from your thoughts. It may lead to a healthier view of what to expect from yourself,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Focus on the positive. Think about the parts of your life that work well. Remember the skills you've used to cope with challenges.”

1. Julianne Doesn’t Mess Around at the Gym

“Back by popular demand… I took another nap! 💪🏼💤” Hough captioned the video. “Thanks for workin’ me out and capturing my goody side @markpulse - who says you can’t dance and play around while you kick some 🍑” In the clip, the dancer, actress, and host shows off her impressively toned midsection as she completes a bunch of strength training exercises like burpees, deadlifts, and a variety of ab exercises using weights.

2. She Eats Vegan and Gluten-Free

Hough is pretty strict about her diet, eating gluten-free and vegan. “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 Drinks Lemon Water

Julianne is one of the many stars who swear by lemon water. “This is how I start my morning every. single. day,” she explained in an Instagram video. “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.” Sometimes she pre-makes the drink the night before, which “usually consists of lukewarm temperature water with half of a lemon—and sitting overnight, really getting all of those juices flushed out in there,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

4. She Loves 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,” she 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 recipess? “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 Cheats

Julianne allows herself to indulge every once in a while. “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,” she 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.”

6. She Enjoys Group Fitness
