Even though they manage to steal the present wherever they go, Michelle Obama's arms are not that unique, the Initially Lady insists.
"I just saw two weeks of Olympics athletes who have authentic arms, so I often wonder, properly, what is it?" she tells iVillage in the course of her 1st feature as that site's guest editor. "My arms do not compete with men and women who have 'real' arms."
The secret to her wonderful, toned figure, in standard ? Everyday early morning exercises alongside her husband, President Barack Obama. (Michelle, 48, wakes up at four :30 each morning to exercising.)
"I generally get to the gym just before [Barack] does. But he is normally there either in the middle of my workout or appropriate at the finish," she says of their side-by-side sweat sessions. "And we're watching Sports Center and we're catching up. That is why I know so substantially about sports activities... you start out po ssessing an opinion about [Tim] Tebow and Mark Sanchez."
These days, Obama is usually on the road, hosting campaign occasions and visiting schools and youth- centered programs as aspect of her " Let's Move" initiative. Regardless of her jam-packed schedule, she tends to make it a point to squeeze in routines anytime, and wherever, she can.
"For me, [ exercise ] is a de-stresser, 1st and foremost," she explains. When FLOTUS is away from household, "I bring a leap rope. I can normally do some jump -roping in the hotel area," she says. "If I never have a rope or space, I might do a 30- minute routine that includes a moment of jumping jacks, alternating with a minute of pushups and then some sit-ups. You consider a 30- 2nd break and do it again."
Obama tries to stick to wholesome fare as significantly as doable, however she does confess to one particular key meals vice: french fries. Her husband often struggles to cu rb his snacking, too.
"Barack, his [vice] is chips and salsa and guacamole. And peanuts -- nuts -- almonds, pecans," Obama shares. "And there's a way that he eats that we tease him about -- he kind of shakes them in 1 hand and creates, like, a minor dispenser with his index finger exactly where he can just pop them in his mouth. He's a nut man. That is what he's munching on all the time."
