Workout Secrets
The workout secrets of the stunner are varied. Sometimes, she does dancing with her brother Derek Hough and sometimes, she opts for toning classes or even hiking. She also loves CorePower Yoga and does it alone and in a group as well. Her workouts usually start at 9 in the morning. For her, a perfect workout week would involve cardio, strength training, flexibility and recovery days.
If she is on the road, she may skip the morning workout. In such situations, she works out at 1 PM. While traveling, the workout is simple and includes taking help of a circular resistance band. She puts it right above her knees, does a kickback and side leg extension. Then, she pushes against the band to extend the leg out to the side as well as the back.
In case she wants to hit her core, she does side planks and bicycles. Once the side planks get too easy, one can add in a leg raise or a dip to keep things challenging.
Keep Moving
The biggest workout secret of the actress is that she never stops moving. She takes help of a tracker to record her moves as it buzzes when she has been sitting for long. She even competes with her family regarding how active everyone is and her dad is leading the chart at present.

Food for Brain

Workout and Diet Secrets for Wedding
Juli says that she is not following any special workout and diet for her wedding because she doesn’t want to look too different than she is, as a person. She would probably indulge in some beer and a burger the night before and then, come back to her normal workout and diet. For her, having cheat days is fine because she makes up for it by being good for the next few days.
Some of the workouts she is sticking to remain in shape for the wedding are Body By Simone, Anna Kaiser, and cycling kick because she likes the high-energy and great music available there. She is also sticking to CorePower Yoga and trying her hand at jump roping these days.
