Michelle Obama Promotes Kids’ Fitness
This week the First Lady invited 100 local school children to the White House for a Healthy Kids Fair. During the event kids were taught exercise, healthy eating habits and watched food demonstrations on how to make healthy snacks. But Mrs. Obama stole the show when she hula-hooped 142 swivels before the hula-hoop hit the ground. She explained to the press that the event was to teach kids how to eat and exercise and she considered it a call to action because one out of three kids in the US are overweight or obese. She said,
“One of our goals was to focus on the importance of educating our kids about healthy eating,”
The pictures of the First Family hula-hooping in the law will definitely spark a resurgence of this fun retro activity. There’s a gym in Los Angeles that leads a class called Hoopnotica and now that the Obamas hula we’ll all be signing up for classes sometime soon! Supposedly you can burn 100 calories in 10 minutes so break out the hula-hoop.
