Michelle Obama's Fitness Motivation

1 / 8

by Lisa Sugar 1

Yesterday we were invited to discuss Let's Move with the first lady, and while learning about one of the passion projects close to Mrs. Obama's heart, we also learned how she stays motivated to keep fit and what's currently on her iPod.

With a morning start of 5 a.m., Michelle's first task of the day is email, although she isn't expecting responses back that early. Then depending on if Malia and Sasha are up, she is either working out or getting the girls ready for school. Exercising is a way of life for the President and the First Lady, so it's no surprise she explains that it keeps her balanced, even if "it's a daily struggle."

What a down-to-Earth woman! I like that she said she tries to be a good role model to her daughters.
