Desi Johnson shows off her strong and fit body

Desi Johnson is getting her body ready to perform – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the bobsledding babe shows off her strong body in a sports bra and shorts while on the track. "Summer prep for a winter sport," she writes in the Instagram caption. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Desi diets – not just to lose weight but to feel better. "I need to lose over 6kgs so we are going on a cut. This is to get at comp weight for competing overseas. I'm not only doing the diet for weight loss but to clear my acne, clean my gut and fix allergies! I haven't dieted in a while due to having such an unhealthy relationship with dieting & coaches in the past. That's why I will document my whole journey for you guys!" she wrote in a post. She gave an update during week 4, revealing that the "process is moving along well. Im not going to say it's easy, but I'm going to tell you the things I have noticed since being on a whole food metabolic balance diet," she said. "My sleep is so much better! I can fall asleep quicker and stay asleep all night. My skin and allergies are starting to improve.

I feel like my body is not holding as much inflammation," she continued. "Now I'm not only just on the diet to loose weight. Even though the main objective is to get to a specific weight for my sport. I am also doing it for my overall health. Think of it as a reset for my gut and body."

"Want to challenge yourself, just do this," Desi captioned a post, revealing her ladder workout:

100x Ground to overhead

90x Mountain climbers

80x Squat floor touches

70x Seated knee tucks

60x Reverse lunges

50x RDLS

40x Russian twists

30x Bent over rows

20x Push ups

10x Burpees

As part of her "sunday reset," Desi alternates between soaking in the hot tub and cold plunging. Soaking in hot water helps improve sleep, minimizes anxiety and depression, and one recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

Desi also takes saunas. "Spa dates," she captioned this post. Should you take a dry sauna? While some claim the health benefits of saunas are plentiful, including detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation, there isn't a lot of research backing up the claims.

In her latest post Desi goes running. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.
