Having worked as a dancer for 20 years and a choreographer for 11, fitness has always been a part of Gianna Martello’s life. The 27-year old Dance Moms <\/em>star currently works as a choreographer at the Abby Lee Miller Studio. Though dance takes up most of Martello\u2019s time and energy, she still finds time for other forms of exercise. \u201cI love hot yoga,\u201d Martello said to Real Style. \u201cI used to go three times a week, but when we\u2019re filming I can\u2019t go as frequently.\u201d While she likes attending a variety of fitness classes, she admits that she\u2019s not the biggest gym rat. \u201cRunning on a treadmill is so boring to me,\u201d she admits.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years, dance fitness has become one of the trendiest ways to work out. This comes as no surprise to Martello. \u201cYou\u2019re constantly moving \u2013 up, down, everywhere,\u201d she explained, citing the physical nature of dance. Yet unlike many other high-energy, high-impact exercises, dance class offers a level of fun not often found in cardio workouts. \u201cIt\u2019s always to great music and it\u2019s always different. You can only lift so many weights at the gym.\u201d<\/p>\n

In terms of which dance-fitness classes are the most effective, Martello has a few favourites. \u201cBarre class is so in right now and so fun,\u201d said Martello. \u201cIt\u2019s not difficult movement but the muscles and the parts of your body that it targets make it so worth it.\u201d She also mentions jazz and hip-hop classes as other dance classes that double as amazing workouts. For those of us who never took dance lessons when we were younger, the thought of attending a class can be pretty intimidating. Martello insists, however, that dance is for everyone. \u201cYou can start dancing at any <\/em>age,\u201d she reassured us. \u201cThere are dance classes for every level.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to her diet, Martello likes to keep it clean and simple. \u201cI try to eat a lot of chicken and fish,\u201d she said. \u201cSushi is my favourite thing, so it\u2019s not that difficult.\u201d When it comes to cravings, Martello knows what works for her body and what doesn\u2019t. \u201cI\u2019m not a huge bread and pasta person, so I stay away from all of that,\u201d she said. When she does treat herself, however, she prefers salty and spicy foods over sweets.<\/p>\n

Despite her healthy habits, Martello admits that it can be tough to maintain a balanced diet with all the travelling she does. \u201cI really buckle down [on healthy eating] when we aren\u2019t filming because it\u2019s so hard being on the road.\u201d With the seventh season of  Dance Moms <\/em>coming up, we’re sure that this fitness fanatic can expect to see her busy schedule get even more jam packed. <\/p>\n
