fan mail people postage send stamps
I get a lot of fan mail from girls. It's interesting because it's not just the U.S. - you get things from people all over the world. They send these postage stamps and you're like, 'Where do you live?' It's crazy. I'll get letters from the troops, too.
cardio good properly sure time tone trainer wanting weights work
I had been wanting to work out with a trainer for a very long time. I always had a good cardio regimen, but I didn't know how to tone up or use weights properly - and I wasn't sure where to start.
moving exercise blood
Healthy foods are great, but it's important to keep your body active. Your muscles only get stronger and build more endurance for everyday things if you're moving and get the blood pumping. Exercising stimulates certain brain chemicals and can put you in a better mood!
heart one-day awful
At one point, I even thought, 'Oh, I'll take diet pills.' I tried it for one day, and I thought my heart was going to explode. It's awful, and I would never, ever recommend it.

When I'm treating myself, it's a full-on burrito, all loaded up!
moving struggle exercise
I spend a lot of time on the 'Glee' set. A lot of time. Luckily we have to dance and rehearse, so we're always moving, but having such a tight schedule can make it hard to find the time to exercise. It's definitely a struggle!
world fads fad-diets
I've probably tried every fad diet in the world.
two jeans height
If I find a good pair of jeans, I'll buy two, and get them hemmed to my height, and then I'll end up wearing those two for everything.
workout inspiration clothes
Personally, when I don't feel like working out, I put on my workout clothes and pump up some music. It's definitely my #1 inspiration.

I'm always looking for something different to do at the gym.
