I'd love to open up sessions at a Boys and Girls Club or something where kids can learn nutrition and how to exercise in a fun way. Especially for young guys. I'd love to be an inspiration.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I could open up a little gym, and I would be blissfully happy.
I would like to be a positive force for young girls.
If there was one thing I'd like to teach young women, it would be that you can eat and still be fit and lean.
That's what I'd like to do on the President's Council. Make sports and athletics available to every youth in America, not just one day a week like it was for me, but every day.
I'm opening gyms around the world to encourage people to get in shape and feel good about themselves; bringing art through dance to gyms to make my gyms different from other people's.
My priority is to turn people - especially kids - on to sports and being active so they don't even have to think about it being good for their health. If people participate for the fun of it, and believe me - it is fun, then fitness programs will be much more successful.
I would like to be somebody young people, young girls, can look up to.
The first time I joined the gym was during the Miss Sri Lanka pageant in 2006. Then, I went for the Miss Universe contest where I was exposed to girls who were very fit for their age. They could have joined the Olympics. They were doing crazy exercises.
After I stop competing, I'd like to do something that inspires people to get active and fit.
I'd love to open a camp focusing on the arts accessible to kids from all income brackets.
