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.'

Enjoy it now because it’ll probably get The Zot, later....:D
Playing golf.
Probably on a golf course, as usual.
You made me work for the joke but I googled SPANX and finally got it....:))
Actually, these are the best pictures of her I have seen.
She seems happy and having fun, and her face reflects it.
She is getting some exercise, in a fun way, and God Bless anyone who does so, not matter why.
This is the first time I have seen Michelle Obama be a ‘FIRST LADY’. Participating in this event to the benefit of all the youngsters involved, in such a very physical way, is what real class is about.
This woman really disgusts me .. is this acting anything like a first lady I ask you?
Beat ya by *this* much....;-D
She looks good in those pants. Far better than those god awful skirts and table clothes.
Gee, I’m so glad you enjoy the pix.
I read that her pet campaign “Let’s Move!” has cost us $1.65 Billion so far.
Where do you think the money for all those POVs, bus posters and staged events has come from?
Brought to you by the miracle of “SPANX”

[sorry...just discovered them and am totally amazed by them...do they have some that make you taller? I’m thin enough already]....LOL
I’d almost hit that.
Almost.

And they must have slimmed her down before printing the picture as I don't think even Spanx can make that rear end look that small.
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.
