SHAWN JOHNSON – DIET & EXERCISE

American gymnast Shawn Johnson hit the spotlight at an early age. After winning an Olympic gold medal, a series of events led to substantial weight gain and placed her career in an unwanted position. As an Olympic athlete, turning to exercise and a proper diet was no big deal. However, the focus Shawn demonstrated hastened her positive results and placed her career back on track.
The former artistic gymnast, in 2008, won a gold medal in the Olympic balance beam.

She also won a silver medal for team, all-around, and floor exercises. While in 2007, she was an overall World Champion, won team titles (and in 2011), a five-time gold medalist in Pan American Games, also won all-around, uneven bars and balance beams. However, in 2008, she won something much different – season 8 of Dancing with the Stars. In 2012, after announcing her retirement from sports, she came back to the show in the all-star edition and won second place. Wow, she’s still very competitive with an impressive investment portfolio to boot!
