It certainly takes a lot of stamina to reach the semi-finals on Dancing with the Stars. This is the 2nd time Karina has reached the semi&#8217;s; she&#8217;s reached the quarter-finals 5 times. So how does she pull it off, rehearsing everyday for seven or eight hours and then rushing to her new dance studio to teach fitness classes? Diet plays a big part in her maintaining her energy level. Her biggest challenge actually is often how to relax and wind down. Karina finds yoga is a great way to do that. Having a partner this season like Ralph Macchio, who is as dedicated as she is, certainly helps lower the level of mental stress. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitnessmagazine.com\/blogs\/fitstop\/2011\/05\/16\/fitness\/karina-smirnoffs-dancing-secrets\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read the Fitness Magazine interview here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karina gave an exclusive interview to Fitness Magazine about her secrets to staying energized and fit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":267,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1103,"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266\/revisions\/1103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karinasmirnoff.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
