Michelle Obama Can Kick Your Ass

@FLOTUS


Feeling pleased with your morning run or cardio stroll? Well here’s a reminder that Michelle Obama, who was already likely to be crushing you in most parts of your life, rules when it comes to the exercise game.  

In a new video posted to her @FLOTUS account, the first lady responded to the president’s #GimmeFive challenge by showing off her fierce workout skills—boxing, lifting, and jumping rope. 

So thanks for the assist Lebron, but this glimpse into Obama’s workout proves once again the first lady can hold court all on her own.
