She has become a champion for fighting childhood obesity since moving into the White House.
And First Lady Michelle Obama led from the front as she showed off her sporting prowess at an event in New Orleans today.
Mrs Obama, 46, is well known for her regimented fitness regime. And she certainly looked full of energy as she took part in a sports day at the city's Woldenberg Park.
Mrs. Obama and former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy visited Woldenberg Park, along with former New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister and former Tampa Bay linebacker Derrick Brooks.
Her visit is the day before the Super Bowl champion Saints host the Minnesota Vikings in the National Football League's (NFL) first game of the regular season.
Dressed on a black leggings and a sports top, Mrs Obama leaped into the air to catch a ball, weaving in and out of a mini assault course.
Mrs Obama's Let's Move programme to improve children's nutrition teamed up with the NFL's Play 60, a programme encouraging an hour of play a day.
And she certainly taught by example as she ran, jumped and puffed her way through an energetic session along with the NFL players.
Addressing the crowd of children, she said: 'We want you guys to grow up strong. And we want you guys to grow up healthy.
'You can be smart. You can be funny, but if you are not in good health, it is going to be a hard road to go.'

i remember that one, too. Seriously, i wasn’t even like 8 or something & my mother & her sisters talked about the “Living Bra” and it was pointy,too. I thought the whole thing was very weird and i was still dragged along....
I don’t know if you remember these few items but they shopped at Hochshield-Kohn, Hecht’s , Hutzler’s & Stewart’s
Buddy’s for hats, and this one store (i’ll remember the name l8r) for shoes and tell me about shoe shopping!!! it was about to drive a person out of their mind! All these stores were down on Howard Street in Balto Md. They went to each one for differant reason’s & then Hochshield Kohn moved to Edmondson Village & Hecht’s was across the street & Hutzler’s moved to Catonsville on RT 40.....just a real brief history here ,,,,,,,,,,
It’s nice to reminice but it’s even nicer to share the memories our mothers gave us & we’re talking about them now aren’t we & imo that’s what makes them special to treasure in your heart.
ROTFLOL He is definitely not the athlete in the family regardless of what Newt Gingrich says. Not sure he’s the man either.
Are those the same pants?
Deal.
Conniving wars and running dog capitalism.
Sounds good.
[but I get dibs on the “Top Hat”]....:-P
Oh, dude!
You didn’t!
LOL
Nice maternity dress Moochelle.
Sorry.
I saw the shot, so I took it.

Remind me to join your army....:))
He shoots from the foul line and ... SWISH! (oops, another gratuitous reference to the dog)
Really what a First Lady should do.......NOT!
Disgusting
Wow, you all make fun of the junk in her trunk, but as we see here, Michelle is super fit. Her glutes and thighs are nearly all muscle. That is not fat. So stop making fun of her body, people. That is not fat.
Back atcha, mstar.
God’s blessings and good rest for you.
:)
I swear........... she does not own a bra that supports her boobs, I’m becoming convinced that is the purpose of the boob belt... to keep them from hanging... In this pic they are sitting on the belt.
______________________________
A lot of the time she does not wear a bra. I think that’s half the problem.
What the hell is she trying to prove? Look at me, look at me...
For once you would think she would act like a First Lady.
No comment!
I hope the kid didn’t have a heart attack. Thanks for the ping.
