Summer isn’t over until Julianne Hough says so. And according to her, it’s still in full swing. Why? Because she’s totally living her Blue Crush dream.
The Footloose actress, 35, and her bestie, Nina Dobrev, hit up Kelly Slater Wave Co. Surf Ranch in California, and she dropped an epic video of her adventures on Instagram.
Jules showed off her strength and balance in a slew of bikinis and thong one-piece swimsuits while riding some waves. Her legs and booty are seriously sculpted, and it’s clear that she’s strong all over.
“Guess I’m a surfer girl now 😎,” she captioned the video. “What a surreal experience! From only attempting to surf once or twice before and starting on a soft top to switching to a hard top and carving up and down on the wave and barrelling… in just 2 days! Ahh, it was insane, and such a good feeling to accomplish and try something new ☀️💛.”
It’s no surprise that Julianne crushed those waves after just two days. After all, she usually stays active outdoors with others while on vacation—which is probably why she’s so strong and toned.
Exhibit A: She recently shared pics and videos from a women’s retreat where she spent time kayaking, hiking, and doing outdoor yoga.
“I love being around people and community,” Julianne previously told Women’s Health of her fitness habits.
Even with her busy travel sched, Julianne still makes exercise a priority. She also shared some of her go-to moves when she travels on Instagram.
“Even when I’m on the go, I always find time to move my body 💪🏻,” she wrote.
The workout circuit—which Julianne does with ankle weights—includes:
Jules also loves to do aerial yoga:
Plus, the Safe Haven actress started her own fitness platform, KINRGY, which include 45-minute “high sensory activated dance method” workouts that are a mix of tai chi, cardio, strength training, qigong, and energy work.
“It gives permission to be fully expressed for your own unique version of who you are, that there is no right or wrong way to do anything. There is no perfection, it’s about expression,” Julianne shared with Women’s Health.

As for her diet, Julianne starts the day with lemon water, coffee, and a green juice, she told Harper’s Bazaar.
Lunch is a yummy soup. “I love soup, and I’ll usually make a lot so I can freeze it so I can have it throughout the week,” she said.

For dinner, she’ll whip up an Indian dish called mung daal. She likes to pair it with sweet potato, asparagus, ginger, collard greens, Swiss chard, and spinach.
Another fave cuisine? Mexican. “I love tacos and guacamole,” she told Women’s Health. “I love food!”
I couldn’t agree more, Julianne!
