Glee star Heather Morris covers the October 2011 issue of Fitness magazine. Fitness says Heather showed up tired for the interview. She had been up until 3:15 am partying with her Glee costars. Heather says she normally gets eight hours of sleep. In the interview, Heather also discusses the secret to her figure, dancing for Beyonce and what she thinks of dieting.
On the Secret to Her Great Figure: "Twenty-three years of dancing. My mom says I started dancing along with my older sisters, April and Crystal, at their dance classes when I was 1."
On What Being a Dancer for Beyonce Taught Her: "That putting in the time really pays off. Beyonce is so focused. We'd have 12-hour days of nonstop dancing, and she was right there next to us from start to finish. I think that's why she's so mesmerizing on stage; she gives everything her all."
On Dieting: "Dieting is just not good for your body or mind. I don't think you should ever tell yourself you can't have something you want. You can't have cookies at every meal, but you can have a cookie. If you deprive yourself, that's just going to make you binge and eat the whole bag. I believe in listening to your body. When I eat fries and burgers for a while, I crave vegetables and fruits. I cut out the carbs and the processed foods until I feel good again. Your body tells you when you need to get back on track. Gas, bloating, and stomachaches are all your body's way of sending you signals."
