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.'

glad to hear you have the latest on ladies undies lol- they are very popular in UK in fact, you can be accused of wearing them, omg,another story burgeoning on SPANX
SPANX is the latest ladies undies as opposed to the traditional lingerie term of “foundation undergarments” an old term coined when i don’t know but i do remember my grandmother wearing her corset even in her old age 80+ & then i KNOW for fact that my mother & her 4 sisters always went girdle shopping........old rubber girdles omg i’m so roflol -you know- it was girl thing & they all went together & it was 16 to 32 opinions because they kept changing them- i just hated it when i was dragged along for that & also picking out material for drapes & slipcovers & also patterns for wall paper
i was tortured in my childhood by their shopping habits
lol
