Although Chris Soules' The Bachelor season is just underway, the show's star is already considering a future Dancing with the Stars opportunity.

Soules, a 33-year-old farmer and businessman from Arlington, IA, is up for more reality TV after his The Bachelor stint and the most appealing option is Dancing with the Stars, E! News reported.
"At this point, why not? I went through The Bachelorette and never thought I'd do that and did it and it was a great experience. Now being the Bachelor, it's been an extraordinary experience," Soules told E! News.
"I'm open to a lot of opportunities, I'd be willing to consider these sort of things. But I'm going to do what's best for me and do what's right and what I feel is right for my future."
Soules is clearly in great shape but would still worry about the physically-demanding aspects of a reality dancing competition.

"I think I need to do some yoga because watching those people and some of the stuff they do," Soules said of previous Dancing with the Stars contestants. "I'm not a very flexible guy, so I am going to need to get limbered up if that's going to happen!"
If Soules opts to take on the challenge of Dancing with the Stars, he'd be following in the footsteps of two former Bachelors before him: Season 17's Sean Lowe and Season 14's Jake Pavelka. Last season's star Juan Pablo Galavis reportedly wanted to appear on the show but producers ultimately decided against it due to his controversial reputation.
E! News recently created a poll to determine America's best and worst Bachelors of all time. Lowe ranked No. 1 as America's favorite Bachelor, but Soules is right on his heels in second place.
"I'm in pretty good company!" Soules said. "I hope everyone enjoys the season, and if I am second to Sean at the end of the season, I will be a happy man."
The Bachelor's second episode airs Monday night at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
