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.'

We can all reminisce about our days here at FR. ;^) lol
Okay, I’ll be the first...the captured kiss photo? Shades of Bill and Hill dancing on the beach?
I wonder what story is about to drop?
WTH is hanging off her back?
It’s great to have your very own airplane, isn’t it?
What’s with that strange looking black jacket? Did she rip the back of it and did they run out of regular fabric?
“Almost.” only counts when pitching horse shoes.
Aren’t some of these old pictures? Before her chowing down on expensive beef and turf.
We’ll be *ruling* Hell, thank you very much....;D
She's gonna get her money's worth out of those Jimmy Choo's, by golly...even if they never do match the outfit she puts them with!
What IS she doing there??
I take back “I’d hit it”. It looks more like she would beat the living day lights out of me with that pic.
$1.65 Billion??? Isn’t that enough to hire a personal trainer for every child in America? Or at least a treadmill with a Gameboy on the handle bars?
Did you HAVE to bring up that gross photo of Bill and Hill on the beach dancing? Eeeeeew!!!!
I don’t think it’s possible for that shade of “green” to match anything else on earth.
[be me, I’d dye them a nice, always suitable black]

Seriously, why would anyone buy a shoe the color of a baby’s diaper on a bad day?
Those would probably be called YANX. Made by Torquemada Limited.
Those shrimps are about to be excereted.
Why would she keep cottage cheese in her pants all over her thighs?
OUCH! That’s some cottage cheese, there!
