Julianne Hough likes to practice yoga before a 'Dancing with the Stars' show

She explained: "I love CorePower Yoga. It's all over the country, so sometimes before a show, we'll get a bunch of people together and do a class. Or if we have an outdoor show, we'll go onto the lawn and do a group workout."

And, although CorePower Yoga is a workout that puts pressure on every muscle and every emotion to change the body, Julianne isn't worried about wearing herself out.

She added: "I need to be strong so I can get through a show."

As well as her love for yoga and her vigorous dance training, the blonde beauty - who is only 5ft 3in - makes sure she incorporates carbohydrates into every single meal.

Speaking to Us Weekly magazine, she said: "I think when you deprive yourself, that's when you crave pasta and pizza. An ideal meal would be chicken, veggies and sweet potatoes. Everybody is so afraid of carbs - they talk about them in a negative way, like, 'Carbs make me fat or bloated' - but just pick the right one and have a little bit.

"They make my brain click on and everything else is able to function. I thought they were my enemy, but they're actually my best friend."
