Julianne Hough Bares Her Bikini Bod for 'Self'

Julianne Hough rocks a red Tori Praver Swimwear bikini in this photo shoot for Self‘s November 2011 issue.

Here’s what the 23-year-old Footloose star and the mag’s cover girl had to share:

On keeping her fit physique: “I vary my workouts every day because, otherwise, I get bored. I always try to run for 20 to 40 minutes on the beach first. Six days a week is fantastic, but four is great too … I grew up mountain biking in Utah, and I’ve been doing it more recently since working in Miami. I crave danger. I find going fast exhilarating! I adore snowboarding, skiing, and skydiving.”

On boyfriend Ryan Seacrest: “A couple of years ago, my dad asked me if, when I’m on the road by myself, no boyfriend, no family, no dogs to comfort me, I am happy with who I am. That stuck with me. If you don’t know yourself, you can’t really love anybody. Today, I am really happy with who I am and feel like I’m in the right place. I’d met Ryan many times over the years, but we got together at the right time.”
