Shawn Johnson Scores A Triple Play
Lady in red Shawn Johnson is super smiley as she heads in to speak at Triple Play for Boys and Girls Club for America on Wednesday afternoon (September 16) in Washington, D.C.
The 17-year-old Olympian serves as the Triple Play Ambassador, a program which helps to reverse the trend of inactive teens by motivating them to be more physically active.
Shawn shared, “So many kids, especially girls, end up spending more time shopping or at the food court in the mall than working out in the gym, so it’s encouraging to find programs like Triple Play that turn that around.”

I can eat in the foodcourt if i want! Who you calling fat shawn?
Oh gee, Shawn, thanks for that! Seriously, I have gym at school. What I do at the mall, whether its shopping or eating should not concern her. I personally think shopping is almost a like a sport. Anywho, I KNOW she means well.
I’m kind of over this emphasis on gyms, especially for teenagers who are still growing. At least the girls are walking around at the shops and not sitting at home on their computers. Physical activity is what people need, and that can be found by walking places, playing a game outside with friends, school sports, etc. A gym is not the only place you can get exercise.
