Olympic gold medal gymnast Shawn Johnson shared her fears, favorite routines and workout regimen with more than 400 adoring fans Sunday at the Mid-America Center, but she drew the line at giving out her phone number.
The crowd in the arena gasped, laughed and finally applauded when 10-year-old Danny McMaster of Cahoy’s Gymnastics Training Center in Omaha asked Johnson for her phone number during a question-and-answer session at the Hy-Vee Whole Health Experience health fair. . . .
Organizers estimated that a total of 8,000 people attended over the six hours of the fair, which featured more than 80 vendors showcasing health- and fitness-related products. . . .
“My best advice to all of you is to get started every day with healthy exercise and just live every day to the fullest,” Johnson said. “Have fun with your family. ... Take advantage of every opportunity.”
