(Cover) - EN Star Style - Nicole Richie says dancing keeps her fit while helping her emotionally.
The 29-year-old has been working with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson for the past few months, combining exercising with her love for dance. The star has previously revealed that she tends to get bored easily in the gym, so her dance workouts have spurred on her love for keeping fit, and maintaining her curves at the same time.
Nicole says she channels her passion for dance in a positive way with fitness guru Tracy.
I was a dancer when I was younger and dance is so much fun for me. This is the only work out Ive ever done that I can do wherever I want, and I feel so great after I do it, she explained in an online video blog. Dancing is my favourite part. Youve just got to get out there and dance like no-one is watching. There are no wrong moves in dancing. You just be yourself and have fun!
The celebrity says that she was initially daunted by the prospect of attending Tracys fitness classes. Nicole has revealed that she now commits to exercising 100 per cent and has fun whilst doing it.
Im excited. When I first came to class of yours and heard I was going to be there for an hour and a half, I was like No, I dont do that! and now Im in there two hours a day, four days a week. Its so fun and the time flies by, the music is great and I love the cardio. I do it and I dont complain! she said. Its important for your health, it builds your muscles, and emotionally, its important to get it all out.
Nicole has revealed that she is more aware of the importance of her health as she is maturing. The mom-of-two publically battled with her weight, after making headlines in 2006 with a dramatically thinner frame. The star says she would rather work hard on her body now and maintain it gradually.
As I get older, I realise the importance of being fit and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Its not about being thin, but about being healthy, she wrote on her online bog. Its also important for me to train my muscles and condition my body now, so that all I have to worry about is maintenance rather than playing catch up later on in life.
Tracy says she is impressed with Nicoles commitment to staying healthy. The fitness expert says she admires the stars ability to juggle her work and family life at the same time.
Shes busy. Shes doing amazing, great things. Shes an amazing mom and one of those people who is making it all happen and the girl can dance. Shes a rockstar, she gushed. (C) Cover Media
