Personal trainer

Hough relies on dance routines to keep his sculpted abs in peak shape. He places special emphasis on a dynamic warm-up (like jumping or running in one place for a few minutes) before dance practice.

To get full benefits from these workouts, he also adds a number of strength exercises to the routine. These strength exercises are primarily bodyweight exercises such as squats, lunges, and push-ups. However, dumbbells can also be added to make the workout more challenging.

Even when he’s on the go, he makes sure he doesn’t miss his daily exercise. If the hotel has a gym, he does regular cardio and strength training, otherwise he relies on push-ups and sit-ups to work up a sweat in the hotel room.
