First Lady Teams with NFL to Get Kids Moving

First Lady Michelle Obama brought her "A" game to the field during a flag football drill for the NFL's Play 60 clinic in New Orleans. Much like the First Lady's Let's Move! campaign, Play 60 encourages children to get at least an hour of activity each day. In true FLOTUS fashion, Mrs. Obama gave her all during a quick game with local children and NFL players. Its not the first time we've seen her getting physical. Check her out jumping rope, playing soccer and getting her hula-hoop on. Here's what you had to say: Alicia commented via Facebook: "I love our First Lady. She inspires me in every way." Leslie wrote via Facebook: "How can you not love this lady? She is always doing something in the community."

First Lady Michelle Obama brought her “A” game to the field during a flag football drill for the NFL’s Play 60 clinic in New Orleans. Much like the First Lady’s Let’s Move! campaign, Play 60 encourages children to get at least an hour of activity each day. In true FLOTUS fashion, Mrs. Obama gave her all during a quick game with local children and NFL players. Its not the first time we’ve seen her getting physical. Check her out jumping rope, playing soccer and getting her hula-hoop on. If only we could look this graceful while working up a sweat.
