"Throughout the year, I live a really active lifestyle, mostly because I live in Hawaii and have so many opportunities to be outdoors. I'm a mother of three wiener dogs, so I'm always taking them out to the beach with me and hiking, and so we get a lot of exercise," said Julianne Chu, Miss Hawaii." I'm a full-time teacher, so I usually am busy in the day, and then in the afternoons, I spend my time doing that with them. If I can't make it outdoors, I go to the gym."
For the pageant, she said that she focused more on building muscle.
"I have more of a leaner body, so I wanted to build more muscle to show definition. I lifted really, really heavy, and then towards the end, as the pageant got closer, I did all cardio just to shred all the fat."
