Emmy Rossum keeps her 23-year-old body tight and taught by heating it up; she practices Bikram Yoga (also known as Hot Yoga). The actress and star of Phantom of the Opera tweeted recently that she was taking Bikram classes.

“Continuing with my new workout kick,” Emmy said from her Twitter account. “105 degrees, 90 minutes of Bikram hell = a really clear mind and a really toned behind. Oh it even rhymes!”

Created by Bikram Choudhury, Bikram takes you through 26 postures or asanas and 2 breathing exercises. As Emmy tweeted, the 90-minute classes are practiced in a room heated to 105 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity of 40%. Because the rooms are so hot, you will sweat quite a bit, getting rid of toxins in the body. Your muscles are warm, which allows you greater flexibility for deeper stretching, and the heat also helps prevents injuries as well as relieve stress and tension.

The slender singer/actress Emmy Rossum who has starred in films such as Phantom of the Opera and Dragonball Evolution told Ok Magazine how she keeps fit and stays healthy.  When it comes to her diet her gluten-intolerance requires her to be extra careful.  She explains,

“I don’t eat wheat only because I’m gluten-intolerant, but otherwise I really try to stay away from things that are overly starchy or deep-fried. Otherwise, life is too short not to eat dessert, not to bread, not to eat rice and potatoes. I think if you exercise and are healthy, those kind of things – they’re not the devil.”

She also revealed some of her exercise habits which is a good mix of cardio that keeps her motivated:

“I like to dance a lot,” the NYC native says. “I was a ballerina when I was younger, so I’m back to ballet a little bit. I was kicked off, so I like to run, swim, hike – as long as I can do something that doesn’t get boring, I’ll do it.”

And lastly, when asked if she had any diet tips for her fans she simply responded,

“Never go hungry.”

Other stars who have admitted they have gluten-intolerance are Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Scott Michael Foster.
