The idea originated with fans who wanted to experience DWTS themselves.

Thats when it clickedand KINRGY was born, she says.

KINRGY was always supposed to be an in-person, real-life experience, Hough told me.

And now finally, it’s the right time.

I left my first sessions sweaty but energized, and feeling inspired and a lot clearer-minded.

Theres some scientific backing to this, too.

In fact, in developing KINRGY, Houghs team consultedDr.

She works specifically on the brain, the health of the brain, Alzheimer’s and dementia.

It’s not supposed to be intimidating, Hough told me.

Our whole thing is, it’s not about perfection, it’s about expression.

It’s the way that you wanna move your body versus doing it right.

Take CARVE, which combines familiar yoga, pilates and strength training.

While Hough said shes kind of a less is more gal in the studio, preferring to move barefoot.

But if I’m going out and have my regular sneakers, I’m aHokagirl.

I love my Hokas, she said.

You dont have to be in Los Angeles to move with Julianne.

It will certainly get you moving, improving heart health and core strength along the way.
