The smile I have on my face as I’m writing this… I love Michelle Obama. The former First Lady of the United States recently revealed she would host fitness boot camps with all her friends when she was living in the White House. Proving once again she really is just like us (remember how she loves Beyoncé?) Obama posted a throwback to the times she hosted training sessions on the property’s palatial lawns as a means to remind her Instagram followers of the importance of keeping yourself healthy.
“When I was at the White House, I often hosted bootcamp weekends for my close girlfriends,” she wrote. “It didn’t matter that we were all at varying fitness levels. Our bootcamp weekends were a reminder that if we want to keep taking care of others, we need to take care of ourselves first. And even though I’m no longer at the White House, I’ve continued this tradition and wanted to share some photos. My girlfriends have been there for me through all kinds of life transitions over the years – including a pretty big one recently! – and we’ve done our best to stay healthy together. Whether it’s a bootcamp or a walk around the neighborhood, I hope you and your crew can find some time this summer to be healthy together.”
