Rebecca Romijn credits dance parties for happy life

Washington, June 24 (ANI): Actress Rebecca Romijn has revealed that a strong dose of dance parties is the secret recipe behind her happiness.

The mum-of-two is said to be already teaching her 31/2-year-old twin daughters Charlie Tamara Tulip and Dolly Rebecca Rose the secret to happiness.

"My mom used [to dance] as a tool to work herself out of a bad mood. I remember dancing around the house to We Are Family," People magazine quoted Romijn as telling Health magazine.

"I'm introducing the girls to The Beatles and Stevie Wonder. We have a little disco ball in our living room, we love our little dance parties," she said.

But since her daughters were born, it has taken a whole lot more than fancy foot work to maintain her fabulous figure.

"After I had my babies and was struggling to lose the weight, I had to challenge my body in a different way. Bikram yoga was key," the 39-year-old actress said.

"You sweat so much, you'll lose poundage. Though, honestly? I dread it every time. [After] I'm grateful for it," she said.

And while she does occasionally indulge in her favorite foods, she admitted that she has had to cut back on drinking wine - even with her mom status at stake.

"I'd fall asleep for an hour and then be wide awake! Every once in a while, I'd toy with the idea of, 'I can be a cool mom - a party girl at night and a mom in the morning,'" she said..

"But I'd regret it every time. Because those girls wake up at 6 a.m. no matter what time you come home!" she added. (ANI)
