Michelle Obama: Fitness and Diet Tips

First Lady Michelle Obama is on the cover of the November issue of Prevention Magazine.  As always, she looks fit and fabulous.  In the interview she reveals a little more about her diet and exercise that has already been broadcasted the world over by various magazines and television shows, but it’s great to know that someone in such a well-respected position can be such a positive influence.

The 45-year-old mother of two starts off by explaining that she has no absolutes no’s when it comes to her daily diet.  She likes her burgers and fries and also pie but she is just sure to control her intake of those items she loves.  Taking up residency in the White House was a challenge because there are always chefs available to cook exactly what she wants, such as pie.  She said,

“There are some great bakers here,” she says. “If you like pie, it will be there always – at every meal. So for me, it’s about setting up new boundaries. I had some challenges with that, but I’m balancing out.”

She also mentioned that with her kids she teaches moderation.  So if one of them asks for example, for a piece of pie, she will ask if the daughter had a piece yesterday and the daughter learns to take the responsibility on if she should or should not have a piece today.

And lastly, the First Lady said that she feels she’s in the best shape of her life now that she’s in her 40s because since the kids are older she has more time.  She workouts at 4:30am doing Pilates, cardio, stretching, and weights.  The self-described ‘closet jock’ said,

“I enjoy arm exercises because you can see what it’s hitting.”
