I last went to a gym when I was a teenager to make sure I could lift ballerinas.

I was a dancer, so for me, if I don't work out for a week or move my body in some sense, I feel weird.

I've been dancing since I was seven, but I never really developed a regimen until I was on Broadway and responsible for a professional performance every night.

Being fit is the easiest part of being a dance professional. I used to just throw on a backpack full of rocks and run up a hill. You don't even have to go to a gym.

I've been dancing since I was 6 years old. That kind of relentless dedication and intensity is where I'm comfortable.

I grew up dancing, and for a while in college, I was a gym rat. I finally realized... I'm going to create a little more balance in my life and make exercise something that I enjoy doing. So I went back to dance when I started doing more musical theatre, and I've just found that it's the best thing that works for my body.

I've always loved working out. When I was little, my dad used to make me and my sister do 10 press-ups every day before we brushed our teeth in the morning. It was like a boot camp! Then I did a lot of athletics at school and was a dancer.

But now - look, I have to take care of myself. I work out every day. I'm a dancer. I've always been an athlete, and I'm one of those people who start to go crazy if they don't run or do something.
