Julianne Hough shows off her fit body on the May 2011 cover of Women’s Health magazine.

The 22-year-old starlet opened up about playing favorites, keeping her body healthy and the paparazzi. Check it:

On her favorite Dancing partner: “I hope my partners don’t get mad at this but Apolo [Anton Ohno] is probably my favorite because he was my first partner. You know, it was my first time. I got three tens for the first time, got to do the Pasa Doble for the first time and just experience everything for the first time so [Apolo] was definitely my favorite.”

On staying fit while she’s on the road: “It’s so hard to stay fit while you’re traveling, but for me it always makes me feel better on the inside if I’ve worked out. I worked out this morning before the shoot. It was very early, but I made myself get up and do it and I’m so glad I did!”

On the paparazzi and being photographed on her recent trip in Mexico with boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest: “I was thinking, Oh, crap, maybe I should’ve sucked in a little. They were photographing us from a boat, and it was the first time I’ve gotten upset, like ‘I can’t just lay out and stuff my face?’ It really messes with you.”

On being proud of her body: “Growing up, I could eat anything, but the minute I hit 22, I stopped dancing and kept eating whatever I wanted, and I gained weight. Then I started reading [critical] comments in blogs. That freaks you out and you get caught up in it. But if I deprive myself, I end up binge eating. I didn’t want to do that. Now if I want something, I’ll have it and I won’t feel guilty. Then the next day I won’t crave it.

Julianne‘s cover hits stands on April 19th!
