Whether it’s on the red carpet meeting with diplomats around the world like at the China State Dinner or in the gym when she’s working out, former First Lady Michelle Obama is killing the game with her poise, toned shape and body!
On Sunday, the former First Lady shared a photo of herself on Instagram lifting an exercise ball while squatting at the gym. “It doesn’t always feel good in the moment,” Obama, 55, wrote.
“But after the fact, I’m always glad I hit the gym. How did you all take care of yourself on this #SelfCareSunday? 💪🏾,” the mom of two added.
“Hey, @POTUS! This is how you #GimmeFive, FLOTUS-style…” That’s how First lady Michelle Obama showed the world a new workout video with her in the gym going beast mode!
FLOTUS gives us just a sample of the five ways she stays fit as part of her new Let’s Move! #GimmeFive campaign and she does more in in 35 seconds than many of us can do in 35 minutes.
Check her out boxing in the video below, effortlessly jumping rope, doing bench hops and more. Oh, and she reminds us to drink water (maybe that’s her secret!).
When she was being interviewed by CBS News anchor Gayle King, Obama said that women need to “un-train” each other when it comes to putting their wellness last.
“When it comes to our health as women, we are so busy giving and
doing for others that we almost feel guilty to take that time out for ourselves,” she said, getting personal about her own experiences.
“A lot of mothers will understand this, because I found myself looking around after I had my kids, and I didn’t have time for me, but my husband was at the gym every day. And I was like, well, how are you going to the gym? He was like, ‘I make time for the gym.’ I was like, what?” she recalled when her two daughters were babies.
