Karina Smirnoff

The professional dancer teamed up with JCPenney to host a dance class in New York City and also celebrate the launch of the retailer’s new workout gear, JCPenney’s Xersion and CityStreets Activewear.

“These clothes are comfortable, super cute and sexy, and fit the body in all right places,” Karina reveals to Healthy Hollywood. Plus, she says her butt has never looked better in the pants.
Somehow Healthy Hollywood doubts this gal has any issues with a less-than-toned tush. After all, she’s a self-confessed fitness fanatic.
“For me, in the New Year, I want to keep my body as healthy as possible because when you feel healthy the sky is the limit.”
Karina tells me she’s not into New Year’s resolutions, but rather likes to set lifelong wellness goals.
“We aren’t getting any younger. So, I think leading a healthy lifestyle, like watching what you eat and having a consistent work out is very important.”
To avoid exercise boredom, she likes to try different workouts and right now is into the Israeli martial arts, Krava Maga. “I’m enjoying kicking the crap out the bag, which I never expected,” she adds.
Yet, her favorite sweat-fest is definitely on the dance floor. “Dancing for me is the best workout. You have fun, you feel sexy and you’re moving. You don’t even realize all the benefits you get from dancing. You get toned, you lose weight, your waistline gets smaller and everything just gets lean. Plus, it’s a great workout for your mind. It releases happy endorphins. I rarely see a person dancing and crying. They’re smiling because they enjoy it or they’re embarrassed, but either way they’re smiling.”
