Sosie Bacon in Workout Gear Dances With Dave Mizzoni

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.”

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.”

1. Meghann Fahy Hydrates

Meghann Fahy’s top tip? Hydration. “I down a massive Yeti water bottle, pre-coffee. Hydrating myself is key. I drink so much more water than I even care to drink because I think that it really really helps me get through those 14-, 15-, 16-hour days that we pull sometimes. It helps mentally and physically, and it’s great for my skin,” she told Women’s Health. “On days I can sleep till 7:00, I go to Orangetheory or run. I live in [Brooklyn], so I run by the water a lot,”

2. Simona Tabasco Loves Outdoor Exercise

True to her last name, Simona Tabasco likes to keep things spicy and even has a [chili-pepper tattoo on her forearm]. “Yes! I love it,” she told Vulture about being named after hot sauce. “I love that it’s in my name and part of me. But specifically, it reflects my personality — or at least half of it. There’s a side to me that’s quite quirky and spicy.” She also enjoys outdoor exercise. Two of her favorite forms of fitness? Swimming and hiking.

3. Haley Lu Richardson Dances

Fun fact: Haley Lu Richardson was a competitive dancer before she became famous, and it is still her go-to fitness form. “I danced for like eight or nine years. I was super focused and committed to that; all I did was go to school and then dance and get no sleep. That’s when I learned about self-motivation and committing to something, and also about how much I love entertaining and telling stories. And I think dance and acting have those things in common,” she told The Last Magazine.

4. Leo Woodall Hikes

Leo Woodall enjoys hiking. “Still sore from getting that Uber to the tippy top,” he joked about his Runyon Canyon hike in Los Angeles. Physical benefits of taking a hike include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

5. Aubrey Plaza Loves Yoga

Aubrey Plaza explained to The Cut that she believes wellness is “being conscious of what you’re putting into your body and on your body, and taking care of yourself.” She starts her day with water, followed by a smoothie, coffee, and ginger tea. As for her workouts, she loves yoga and basketball. “I’ve been playing since I was a kid,” she said.

6. Adam DiMarco Plays Basketball

Aubrey isn’t the only White Lotus star who shoots hoops. Adam DiMarco also stays in shape with the help of basketball.

7. Beatrice Granno Walks

Beatrice Granno loves to go for walks, a great way to stay in shape according to science. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Gracyanne Barbosa is a successful fitness model. Naturally, she shows of her toned figure on Instagram. She also shares her favorite workouts on her page. Barbosa hit the gym with a friend recently, and she filmed her friend working out. She captioned the video, “I force her to train, but I guarantee the best angle LOL (stories).” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Gracyanne Barbosa stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Works Her Legs

Barbosa doesn’t skip leg day. She and a friend shared this lower body workout video on Instagram. In it, they are seen doing squats, ankle squats, and the Malasana pose. Piedmont states that having a strong lower body is important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance. Strengthen your bones. Reduce joint pain. Reduce your risk of injury, particularly in your back and knees.”

2. She Pole Dances

Barbosa likes to pole dance. She shares a lot of pole dance videos on Instagram. Life Hack states that pole dancing has a lot of benefits, including making someone more limber. “People often forget the importance of joint mobility and flexibility. As you become more limber you will have fewer problems like back pain, a stiff neck and muscle soreness. You will also minimize the risk of sprains and will be able to move more freely.”

3. She Cooks

Barbosa likes to cook. She shared this video on Instagram of herself making apple cheesecake with berries. Barbosa captioned the post, “Base: almond flour + coconut oil, I won't say the exact amount because it depends on the size of the shape, mix the two, until it forms a small machine and it will shape the shape, then put in the preheated oven for 8 min just to make it firm. Stuffing - I decided to make two flavors: -200g strawberry Jelly + 1 shot of whey + 1 cup zero yoghurt + sweetener to taste + 1/2 pack of colorless jelly. -200g apple jelly with cinnamon + 1 cup zero yoghurt + sweetener to taste + 1/2 pack colorless jelly. Mix each one in a container, until it becomes very homogeneous, place on top of the batter (it has to be cold), I put it divided because I thought it was nice lol fruits on top to decorate, take it in the fridge for 2/3 hours and you're ready this wonder.”

4. She Works Her Core

Barbosa has an amazing core, and she makes sure to do core workouts. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hanging crunches. Barbosa captioned the post, “If I’m happy: workout. If I’m sad: workout twice. And you?” The Mayo Clinic states that core workouts have a lot of benefits. “Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.”

5. She Goes To The Gym With Others

Going to the gym with someone else, like Barbosa did in her Instagram post, has a lot of health benefits. The Whittier YMCA states, “Maintaining motivation is crucial when it comes to fitness. Working out with a friend creates a sense of accountability. Having a reliable partner waiting for you at the gym or park encourages consistency and eliminates the temptation to skip a session. When you witness your workout buddy’s dedication and commitment, it spurs you on to match their enthusiasm. Sharing goals and cheering each other’s progress creates a positive and competitive environment that drives both of you to push harder and achieve more.”
