Taylor Swift is switching up more than her ’do. The singer—who’s famous (or is that infamous?) for her awards show jives—hit up the dance studio almost every day this week, ditching her typical exercise leggings for leotards, tights, and absolutely adorable ballet skirts.
No disrespect to the gym, but switching things up in the dance studio à la Swift can be just what the personal trainer ordered. Why? Keeping your muscles guessing is vital to staying out of a fitness rut. And even better, ballet uses concentrated movements to tone the small stabilizing muscles that your typical workout might miss. The result: dancers’ enviable long, lean look.
