Even though she’s an Olympic athlete, legendary figure skater, Michelle Kwan admits that even she finds it hard to maintain a strict regimen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’m guilty of some of the things everybody else is guilty of,” admits Kwan, who travels the world as a diplomatic envoy with the State Department now. “Eating sweets and fattening foods and not cutting out salt. Over time, you create better habits. But when you’re traveling or have a busy schedule, it’s so easy to stick with snacks that are bad with you.”<\/p>\n

“If you don’t eat right you don’t perform well,” Kwan told Yahoo! Shine. “I found that it carries on throughout life–in grad school, if I wasn’t eating well, I didn’t perform well either.”<\/p>\n

Kwan serves on the President’s Council for Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition, but in spite of their many work commitments and hectic travel schedules, she manages to make exercise a priority-it’s just not the same type of exercise she used to do back when she was constantly preparing for competition.<\/p>\n

“I do enjoy yoga,” Kwan says. “It tends to give me a time where I can just get away from everything and just be in the zone. Skating used to be the place where I’d get on the ice and for an hour no one’s in my space. I had the freedom, I had the time alone to really get in to it.”<\/p>\n

“Lately, I rollerblade around DC, but I seem to be the only one,” she adds. “I never see any one else doing it. Maybe I could start a trend!”<\/p>\n
