Julianne Hough Gets Into 'Shape' By Shocking Her Body

Julianne Hough shows off her body in a red bikini on the cover of Shape magazine’s December 2014 issue, out on newsstands on Monday (November 17)!

Here’s what the 26-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On workout routines: “Morning is my favorite time to exercise. I like to shock my body by doing different things. When I was on tour, even though I was dancing two hours a night, I felt I needed more, so I started doing dance moves with ankle or wrist weights on,” she tells Shape of her workout philosophy.

On acting: “If I’m reading for a part, I’ll transform myself into the character. I love the whole process and always tell my agents: ‘Put me in the room�”I’ll audition for anything.’ Thats my motto.”
