‘I’m in the best shape of my life,’ former ‘Hills’ star tells Us Weekly. By Mawuse Ziegbe Audrina Patridge and Tony Dovolani Photo: ABC Audrina Patridge has always kept a slender figure during her six seasons on MTV’s beachside drama “The Hills,” but she’s really feeling the burn in her latest reality role. Patridge is part of the latest cast of celebs to wiggle into some sequins and twirl around the dance floor on “Dancing With the Stars.” Even though the season has just started, the starlet said working the classic ballroom-dance moves has already paid off. “I would say I’m in the best shape of my life,” Patridge told Us Weekly. “Dancing is so different than going to the gym. I’m going to be so sad when it’s over!” Patridge isn’t swooning because she’s dropping pounds; she’s amped because she’s packing on muscle and scoring major definition. “I feel more toned and more defined, for sure,” she said. “I have maintained my weight, but I’m really, really defining my muscles and toning up,” adding, “I am excited! I have so much energy!” Patridge, who grooved onto the parquet first alongside partner Tony Dovolani on Monday’s season 11 kickoff, might be enjoying her new look but did admit to stressing about breaking in the dance floor. “It was because they didn’t really know what to expect from everyone, so we were the first ones out there setting the standards. But it was so much fun,” Patridge told MTV News of kicking things off Monday. “It was nerve-racking being the first ones out. It was so much fun. Now, I’m more comfortable with the setting and being on set and the live audience. I think it was a good thing, ’cause we went first and got it out of the way and got to relax.” Are you rooting for Audrina on “Dancing With the Stars”? Let us know in the comments!
