you’re able to totally get in on her healthy habits, too.
Hough is all about that rise-and-grind life.
“I like to [work out] in the morning,” she says.
So if youre not physically active, sometimes you get into a ‘bleh’ kind of mood.
“[Working out] is something for myself,” says Hough.
I think of it as my personal time to make myself feel good.
So thats my headspace.

So having the chance to mix it up helps."
Hough adds variety by taking classes at CorePower Yoga, SoulCycle, and Body By Simone.
“Sometimes I do three days of the same workout, and two days of another workout.
Hough often builds easier activities into her week, too.

Ditch the things you don’t feel good about eating.
Only buy the things that you feel like you could eat, she suggests.

I have to have the entire bag.
So I dont buy potato chips.
And if I see them at the house, I eat them right away!
Hough also crushes cravings by sipping tea.
For Hough, a day of healthy eating all starts withbreakfast.
I just crave more sweets.

Focus on how your habits affect you on the inside.
