McPhee spends nearly every afternoon in a grueling five-hour dance rehearsal, giving her the stunning figure you see on TV.
“I feel it in my thighs and calves, but it’s so stop-and-go. I miss my real workout. I’d do a one-hour kick-a** cardio program with my trainer, Oscar Smith,” she said.
The former American Idol contestant said that not only does she have a different body than she did when she first hit the scene — she has an entirely different mindset, too.
