Did you know that today, 33% of American children are either overweight or obese? And it's even worse for minorities: 40% of African American or Hispanic kids are overweight or obese. If these kids and their parents/mentors/educators don't help them make lifestyle changes, these children will have to deal with obesity-related problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure later in life. The goal of Let's Move is to "solve the problem of childhood obesity within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier and able to pursue their dreams." Let's Move combines healthy eating with increased physical activity to encourage healthy lifestyles for children (and I daresay for adults, too) all across the U.S.
Now back to my point about FLOTUS's fitness. (FLOTUS = First Lady of the United States, fyi.) If you don't want to take my word for it, watch her in a push-up challenge with Ellen DeGeneres here. And watch her beat Jimmy Fallon in a fitness contest at the White House here. (Spoiler alert: she wins both!)
After watching these two videos, I have two thoughts: 1- I don't ever want to get in any sort of fight with FLOTUS. 2- I should probably at least do my 30-minute yoga routine before bed. (And something about those cookies I ate for dinner after the Temple tonight...) So, guy's, let's move! How do you move?
Yes she is!!
