Shawn Johnson Quotes

We were made to exercise. We feel better.

Gymnastics should be popular everywhere; you just need the right person to start the right programme.

With dancing, it just brings out more flexibility, more core strength, and you definitely get a great workout.

I love my gymnastics and a flexible body, so I indulge in a lot of yoga from that aspect.

I was a gymnast for 13 years, so I was heavy into sports.

The gymnasium of running, walking on stilts, climbing, etc. stells and makes hardy single powers and muscles, but dancing, like a corporeal poesy, embellishes, exercises, and equalizes all the muscles at once.

I pole-dance. I do. I do it at an aerobics center. Having done gymnastics for 13 years, I find it's one of the only things where I can still use my core and all my muscles. Plus, it's fun: You're a girl, and you get to dance around a pole!

When I can, I do 25 minutes of calisthenics every day.

I do like all different kinds of sports and stuff. I've taken up gymnastics and slacklining - you know, tightroping, basically.

Exercise is about being grateful for the body you have and sustaining the life you have.

Fortunately, I'm very healthy, and my body is still intact. It hasn't aged very much, I feel like a very young 56. I exercise regularly, and when I do, I always learn new things about my body.

I have to say. I kind of love all that stuff - those physical challenges. I guess there will come a time when I'll get sick of it but at this stage, I just like it all.

I work out. I'm getting toned, too. The Wii Fit really works your body. When I get off, I'm dying.

I used to dance for seventeen years -classical ballet, which was very disciplined. I like yoga and Pilates, but I don't have the discipline to go to the gym.

Pilates is amazing, my posture is so much better and I'm even starting to get muscles on my tummy - it's incredible.

Obviously, it's always a good to be in shape and to be fit.

I maintain by going to spin four or five days a week. I love that I can get a solid butt-kicking in 40 minutes. I also strength train two or three times a week.

I do Pilates two to three times a week if I'm lucky. Usually just two.

I'd grown up an athletic child, a competitive soccer player since age 4, with stints ranging from months to years in gymnastics, softball, volleyball.

I like doing yoga. I do yoga three times a week and I do Pilates twice.

I grew up an athlete. Track and field and dance. In track, I actually went to the Junior Olympics. I've always been very athletic.

I've always danced and exercised. I can't imagine not doing it. I'll be Martha Graham in my 90s doing contractions on the floor.

For obstacle racing, you wanna be as light, lean, and fast as possible. So, if I lift a lot of weights, I'm gonna be a little bit heavier, which will make it harder for me to hold myself up.

But, I couldn't live without creation gymnastics.

I'm not fond of crunches or lunges, but I do them anyway because I do see results. For me it's about being fit and staying healthy more than anything else.
