Karina Smirnoff on Women Fitness:
I want to thank everyone who is behind this wonderful site. I love the content and the message you have for women in fitness and in life and I am grateful to be a part of it.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You started at a very young age of five years by taking ballet lessons and reached the pinnacle of success by winning five-time U.S. National Champion, World Trophy Champion, and Asian Open Champion as a professional dancer. What factors do you consider were responsible that made you achieve that?
Karina Smirnoff:
I actually started with figure skating when I was only 2 years old. I was always a very active child with lots of energy and my parents wanted me to do an active extracurricular activity, I think in hopes of tiring me out by the end of the day. I loved competitive sports ever since I first tried them. My parents always encouraged a healthy competition, even with myself. So I always strive to do my best. I guess that’s why now I don’t necessarily believe in luck, but rather in preparation for when the opportunity presents itself.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout?
Karina Smirnoff:
I love to mix things up all the time and always am looking for a new fun workout. I try not to let my muscles get used to the same routine. I love yoga, jogging/running, martial arts, cycling and of course-dancing-the best workout of them all!
